'This collection of lively and engaging studies drives home to devastating effect and from different political, material, cultural and social directions, the fundamental contradiction of the car; that it destroys the very environment it makes accessible.' Tim Dant, University of Lancaster, UK 'Car Troubles shows brilliantly how far we have come since Wolfgang Sachs claimed that the problem with the automobile is that the automobile is not a problem . It gives rich, diverse insights into our problematisation of the car, and into the complex politics of dealing with the problems cars cause.' Matthew Paterson, University of Ottawa, Canada
