Carjacked: The Culture of the Automobile and Its Effect on Our Lives: The Culture of the Automobile and Its Effect on Our Lives

CarjackedÂ Â is an in-depth look at our obsession with cars. While the automobileâ€™s contribution to global warming and the effects of volatile gas prices is widely known, the problemsÂ we face every day because ofÂ our cars are much more widespread and yet much less known -- from the surprising $14,000 that the average family pays each year for the vehicles it owns, to the increase in rates of obesity and asthma to which cars contribute, to the 40,000 deaths and 2.5 million crash injuries each and every year.
CarjackedÂ details the complex impact of the automobile onÂ modern society and shows us how to develop a healthier, cheaper, and greener relationshipÂ with cars.
