DESCRIPTION:When the very first cars rolled off production lines\, they wer
 e a technological marvel\, predicted to make life easier and better for al
 l Americans\; yet a hundred years later\, that dream is running on empty.\
 n\n \n\nInstead of unbounded freedom\, the never-ending proliferation of a
 utomobiles has delivered a host of costs\, among them the demolition of ou
 r neighborhoods\, towns\, and cities to make way for car infrastructure\; 
 an epidemic of violent death\; countless hours lost in traffic\; isolation
  from our fellow human beings\; and the ongoing destruction of the natural
  world. Globally\, SUVs alone now emit more carbon than the nations of Ger
 many\, South Korea\, or Japan.\n\n \n\nThat’s why we need Life After Car
 s. Through historical records\, revealing interviews\, and unflinching sta
 tistics\, Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon\, hosts of the podcast The War on
  Cars\, and former host Aaron Naparstek unpack the scale of damage that ca
 rs cause\, the forces that have created our current crisis and are investe
 d in perpetuating it\, and the way that the fight for better transportatio
 n is deeply linked to the fight for a more equitable and just society.\n\n
  \n\nCars as we know them today are unsustainable—but there is hope. Lif
 e After Cars will arm readers with the tools they need to implement real\,
  transformative change\, from simply raising awareness to taking a stand a
 t public forums. It’s past time to radically rethink—and shrink—soci
 ety’s collective relationship with the automobile. Together\, let’s cr
 eate a better Life After Cars.\n\n \n\nAbout the Authors: \n\nSarah Goodye
 ar is a journalist and author who has covered cities and transportation fo
 r publications such as Grist\, CityLab\, and Streetsblog.\n\n \n\nDoug Gor
 don is a TV producer and writer who is also a neighborhood safe streets ad
 vocate better known online as Brooklyn Spoke.\n\n \n\nAbout the Program: \
