This event took place on August 14, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.</p> <p>Based on exhaustive research and interviews with driving experts and traffic officials around the globe, Traffic gets under the hood of the everyday activity of driving to uncover the surprisingly complex web of physical, psychological, and technical factors that explain how traffic works, why we drive the way we do, and what our driving says about us. Vanderbilt examines the perceptual limits and cognitive underpinnings that make us worse drivers than we think we are. </p> <p>He demonstrates why plans to protect pedestrians from cars often lead to more accidents. He shows how roundabouts, which can feel dangerous and chaotic, actually make roads safer—and reduce traffic in the bargain. He uncovers who is more likely to honk at whom, and why. He explains why traffic jams form, outlines the unintended consequences of our quest for safety, and even identifies the most common mistake drivers make in parking lots.</p> <p>Tom Vanderbilt writes about design, technology, science, and culture for Wired, Slate, The New York Times, and many other publications. He lives in Brooklyn and drives a 2001 Volvo V40.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/49116-authors-google-tom-vanderbilt">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45940-authors-google-jeffrey-kluger 2008-08-21T20:43:54Z AtGoogleTalks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0EEc1-p7C_U&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0EEc1-p7C_U&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/45940-authors-google-jeffrey-kluger"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/53266" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Jeffrey Kluger visits Google's Cambridge, MA office to discuss his book "SIMPLEXITY: Why Simple Things Become Complex (and how Complex Things Can Be Made Simple)." This event took place on June 4, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.</p> <p>In Simplexity, Time senior writer Jeffrey Kluger shows how a drinking straw can save thousands of lives; how a million cars can be on the streets but just a few hundred of them can lead to gridlock; how investors behave like atoms; how arithmetic governs abstract art and physics drives jazz; why swatting a TV indeed makes it work better. As simplexity moves from the research lab into popular consciousness it will challenge our models for modern living. Jeffrey Kluger adeptly translates newly evolving theory into a delightful theory of everything that will have you rethinking the rules of business, family, art—your world.</p> <p>Jeffrey's other work includes Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13, on which the 1995 movie Apollo 13 was based, and the critically acclaimed Splendid Solution: Jonas Salk and the Conquest of Polio.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/45940-authors-google-jeffrey-kluger">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43171-how-the-media-creates-obama-hating-voters-i-mean-idiots 2008-08-21T20:47:46Z Brian Beach <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/txcHa5QkQzk&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/txcHa5QkQzk&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43171-how-the-media-creates-obama-hating-voters-i-mean-idiots"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/49299" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Thanks for viewing and post comments at the bottom.</p> <p>The media's "free ride" is over for Senator Barack Obama! If there was ever one! <br />After all the news networks are excited to cover the first African American to lead a national party to the White House.</p> <p>3 out of 10 Americans believe that race plays a decision in the way they vote! That's 30% of the American public. About a good 35 million or so! I would think this includes those critics who are leaving the "nice" comments at the bottom.</p> <p>The polls say that Senator Barack Obama is leading Senator John McCain by at least an average of six points. All things can change in the coming months.</p> <p>There are going to be dissatisfied people. I am aware of that! You probably didn't want Senator Barack Obama. Well for those who are critical of the candidate I got some words for you straight from YouTube:</p> <p>Get a life! You Obama hating idiots must have forgotten the millions of voters who supported Senator Barack Obama are not just Black people. There were people who were dissatisfied with Senator Hillary Clinton. There are Republicans dissatisfied with President George W. Bush. Senator Barack Obama has more appeal towards Independents. There are many people upset over the way the media has covered the candidates [Fox News, CNN, ABC, MSNBC and the like]. </p> <p>Ok, you Obama hating idiots! If I didn't throw my support to Senator Barack Obama, then you flip the corner and attack me for supporting Senator John McCain or any other candidate. You can't win for nothing! And by the way, I like Senator John McCain, but I am not supporting his stance on the economy.</p> <p>Ok, you Obama hating idiots! I am going to ask you why the hell, Mitt Romney, Senator Hillary Clinton, Fred Thompson, John Edwards and Rudy Giuliani failed to secure the nomination?</p> <p>American people come from all walks of life. They get their news from the internet, the cable news networks, and newspapers. They give you the word of mouth. So somewhere in America there's always a candidate hater! I welcome you here to my YouTube page!</p> <p>If you don't like Senator Barack Obama, vote against him! It's not that hard! You want to sit it out, and then you're lost! As for me, I will encourage my friends to vote for him, you got a problem with that? Tough!</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43171-how-the-media-creates-obama-hating-voters-i-mean-idiots">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/41715-why-i-youtube 2008-08-21T20:24:14Z Cityzen Jane <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c3033o6mmk4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c3033o6mmk4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/41715-why-i-youtube"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/47031" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Response vid</p> </div> <a href="/blog/41715-why-i-youtube">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/36603-authors-google-eric-alterman 2008-06-09T03:30:35Z AtGoogleTalks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I0wi6QV88i0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I0wi6QV88i0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/36603-authors-google-eric-alterman"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/41101" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Professor Eric Alterman visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book "Why We're Liberals: A Political Handbook for Post-Bush America." </p> <p>Eric Alterman is Distinguished Professor of English and journalism at Brooklyn College and the Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York.
