Product Description

Review

"Although the subject matter is serious, Andy's cartoons will make you laugh." -- Dirt Rag #89, October 1, 2001

"CARtoons is a merciless assault on one of the most prized aspects of modern culture. Both thought provoking and humerous..." -- Oregon Cycling Mag. Sept, 2001

"Singer is an editorial cartoonist with an unerring eye for the absurdity of our current car dependence." -- E Magazine Jan./Feb. 2002

Book Description

"CARtoons" consists of drawings, comics, essays and quotes that look at the social and environmental impact of automoblies. It features a foreword by Jane Holtz Kay (author of Asphalt Nation), an afterword by Randy Ghent of Car Busters and an excellent guide to alternative transport groups and publications around the world. A personal and provocative look at our relationship with the automobile, from Ford's first assembly lines to today's "drive-thru" society.

good information, entertaining format, hope for the future Feb 24 2004
This is a great little book about the huge impact of automobiles on the American way of life. Read the book and you will see why our communities and streets have become vast ugly parking lots; why our public transportation and railway systems have been systematically dismantled and made almost obsolete; why air and water pollution increasingly threatens our health, especially of the youngest and oldest sectors of the population; why it is so difficult to get anywhere without driving in a motorized vehicle; and much more. The book is very approachable and suitable for a wide range of ages, backgrounds and mindsets. It uses humor well and does not pull any punches about difficult and divisive issues. this book also holds out hope for a better possible future with an emphasis on livable communities where it is possible, with thoughtful human-scale design, to walk and bicycle and use convenient public transportation to help solve many of the problems that beset our frantic rush-hour freeway-driving road-raging day-to-day lives.

This book talks about urban planning, transportation planning, traffic issues, transportation issues, etc; without all of the technical terminologies urban planners use. To learn more about sustainable transportation and livable cities, this book is the best.
