Los misterios de la carretera

Many years ago, living in Madrid, I would settle in with a cafe con leche in one of my favorite cafes near the Prado and try to work my way through El Pais — always struck that the corrida writeup was in “arts,” not “sports.” In any case, Traffic is just out in Spain (and Latin America) from Debate and I had a feature in last weekend’s magazine (not my translation).

    Hi Mr. Vanderbilt!!

    I’ve just started to read “Traffic” and I find your book a essential read for everyone!! I’m a first year Psychology student and one of the most interesting fields to me is human behavior in traffic situations…and your book includes som useful notes and names to go deep inside in my future investigations because the only stuff I get is very scientific and technical to me (this is my first year..so I’m just learning to walk in the academic world)..Thanks for your job!!

    Besides this…In Spain the “Corrida” is considered some kind of art or folkloric show and some people call it “Fiesta Nacional”..(National Party) but nobody considere it a sport and,by the way,it’s forbidden in Canary Islands and maybe it’ll be forbidden in Catalonia this year.

    Greetings from Spain!!
