I learned a lot from this non-fiction book. I'd never heard of Maglev trains before - trains with no wheels or engines, that float above electric wires by magnetic force. It was published in 2006, so I need to see if any of these trains have since been built in the USA. Supposedly, they'll be able to travel 1000
