TRAFFIC Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)

Listening to this book while in traffic creates the ultimate "news you can you use" experience. What Vanderbilt has to say about why we behave the way we do and what it says about us is both fascinating and, at times, troubling. Narrator, NPR commentator, and satirist David Slavin matches the material’s serious tone when Vanderbilt builds his case with voluminous facts and figures but downshifts when the text is grounded in the author's own experience. With driver commutes growing longer each year, TRAFFIC should be required listening for everyone who spends significant time watching mile markers speed by.
