  Cars are killing people and making the planet uninhabitable. Crashes take the lives of more than a million people each year. Air pollution linked to motor vehicles contributes to even more untimely deaths. Highways and unsafe streets have devastated cities, yet traffic congestion still swallows up countless hours. And carbon emissions from transportation are a key driver of climate change, which threatens to make the world unlivable. Why do we still worship at the altar of the car? How can we find alternatives that are healthier for the planet and ourselves? 
    
  This book exposes how "Big Car"—the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence—has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. He details how industry covered up the harms of lead additives, fought against seatbelts, and continues to fund climate-change denialism. Obst considers the future of mobility, surveying how cities are experimenting with forms of transportation that offer alternatives to the dominance of cars. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.

  You have watched a dog read your mood before you said a word, or seen a crow work out a problem in a parking lot, and thought: there is somebody in there. Then you wondered how much of that is real and how much you are imagining.
  
  This is animal intelligence explained one creature at a time. Each chapter drops you inside a living scene, then unpacks a single proven behaviour and the research behind it in plain, warm language: the octopus that tastes with its arms, the crow that builds tools and remembers a face that wronged it, elephants that grieve, dolphins that call each other by name, bees that hold a vote before choosing a home. No jargon, no hedging, just what scientists have actually shown and how they showed it.
  
  By the end, the animals on your street stop being background. You start noticing decisions, memory and personality where you used to see instinct. Press play, and meet your neighbours properly.
