| Tulips On Troost - 308 sec
Tulips on Troost began with the modest goal of planting 10-thousand tulips along Kansas City's historic Troost Avenue. It quickly surpassed that, and now aims to plant one-million tulips.
Troost Avenue -- also known as "Truth Avenue" -- is a metaphor for the urban core. Perhaps no street in Kansas City stirs more emotions. It has long served as the unofficial boundry between east and west, rich and poor, hope and despair, black and white. And sometimes, life and death.
In the 1920s there were streetcars and millionaires on Troost. In the 1960s there were riots. Today, the area is characterized by vacant lots, second-hand stores and a crumbling infastructure.
But there is something happening along the avenue. Tulips on Troost hopes to give residents a new way of looking at color along the avenue, and will be a powerful symbol of hope and healing to everyone who is touched by Troost and who is in need of a change.
This is a simple five-minute video from the first year of the project. We are in the process of making a full-length documentary on this ambitious project, and hope to have it complete by the summer of '08. Thanks for watching. log onto http://troostavenue.com for more information.

| Authors@Google: J. Maarten Troost - 1966 sec
Maarten Troost visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book "Lost on Planet China: The Strange and True Story of One Man's Attempt to Understand the World's Most Mystifying Nation, or How He Became Comfortable Eating Live Squid." This event took place on July 16, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.
Lost on Planet China finds Troost dodging deadly drivers in Shanghai; eating Yak in Tibet; deciphering restaurant menus (offering local favorites such as Cattle Penis with Garlic); visiting with Chairman Mao (still dead, very orange); and hiking (with 80,000 other people) up Tai Shan, China's most revered mountain. But in addition to his trademark gonzo adventures, the book also delivers a telling look at a vast and complex country on the brink of transformation that will soon shape the way we all work, live, and think. As Troost shows, while we may be familiar with Yao Ming or dim sum or the cheap, plastic products that line the shelves of every store, the real China remains a world—indeed, a planet--unto itself.
Maarten Troost brings China to life as you've never seen it before, and his insightful, rip-roaringly funny narrative proves that once again he is one of the most entertaining and insightful armchair travel companions around.
J. MAARTEN TROOST is the author of Getting Stoned with Savages and The Sex Lives of Cannibals. His essays have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, the Washington Post, and the Prague Post. He spent two years in Kiribati in the Equatorial Pacific and upon his return was hired as a consultant by the World Bank. After several years in Fiji and Vanuatu, he recently relocated to the U.S. and now lives with his wife and two sons in California.
