By: Jeri Freedman

Transportation is changing in exciting ways, and computerization is playing a major role in this transition. Automated systems such as computer-controlled cameras and traffic signals, new software for the design of transportation systems and highways, remote monitoring of commercial vehicles such as trucks, and automation of vehicles are all changing the way that people and goods move. The most exciting trend is the development of autonomous cars, planes, trains, and trucks. This book uses sidebars, photographs, and professional examples to describe the transportation technologies that require coders and the opportunities that exist, now and in the future, for coders in the field. It explains courses students can take in high school and college or technical school to become successful coders in the future.

With Open Hands

A Story about Biddy Mason

By: Jeri Chase Ferris

Born a slave in Georgia in 1818, Bridget "Biddy" Mason learned to survive in a harsh world. Taken from her parents as a young child, Biddy grew up to be self-reliant and hard working. When she and her children finally found freedom in California in 1855, she turned her nursing skills into a successful career as a midwife. Even after she became a wealthy landowner in Los Angeles, Biddy never forgot her basic philosophy of sharing with others: "The open hand is blessed," she always said, "for it gives in abundance, even as it receives.

Remember the Ladies

A Story about Abigail Adams

By: Jeri Ferris

Abigail Adams lived through the Revolutionary War and became the First Lady of the second president of the United States. Though women of her time could not vote, govern, or own property, Abigail believed that women should not be ruled by laws they did not make. Although she did not see these rights come to women, she never gave up talking, writing, and perhaps most important, believing that women were equal to men. Her courage and strength enabled her to help her husband create a new country. She never fired a gun, but her pen was a weapon that helped win freedom for her country--and herself.
