When Stage-Coach Days in the Bluegrass was first published in 1935 by the Standard Press in Louisville, the New York Times reviewer described "this charming work" as "an interesting example of that very useful class of books, local histories, which so rarely get the attention they deserve." Along with his focus on the development of stage-coach travel, Coleman covers details such as pioneer roads, taverns, travelers' experiences, mail carriers, and the coming of the railroad. This fascinating look at an age gone by is truly a work of regional culture.

Britain does not have a coherent transport policy, and conventional transport economics has reached a dead end. A transport policy should incorporate systematic thinking about the travel needs of society. However, in Britain, public investment in the transport system has been extraordinarily volatile. We closed under-used railways and then experienced a doubling of passenger numbers that has prompted huge new investment. We gave up making substantial investment in motorways, but now have chosen to revive the road construction effort in a big way. We vacillate on road pricing, introducing congestion charging successfully in London, but backing off because of local opposition elsewhere. We have delayed for decades the decision about whether and where to build additional airport capacity. The environmental impacts of transport infrastructure - global and local - have been a key focus, but now are not. This mess has come about because policy has focused on big construction projects and time-saving, instead of on the part people and places play in economic development. This book sets out the principles that could underpin a strategic policy for transport. Instead of focusing piecemeal on trying (and failing) to get from place to place ever faster, we need to think about how and where we want the economy to develop, and about how new the digital technologies can help achieve this.

Immer mehr Betriebe dieser Branchen setzen auf Gesundheit. Dabei allerdings nimmt Gesundheit eine faszinierende Vielfalt an und umfasst ebenso Aspekte der Vorbeugung, Gesundheitsforderung, Heilung und Linderung von Krankheit, aber auch Kosmetik, Wellness, Bodystyling und psychische Gesundheit. Das Buch weist ebenso einen makrookonomischen Blickwinkel auf, indem es die internationale Marktentwicklung betrachtet, aber auch der mikrookonomische Aspekt im Sinne des Managements konkreter Betriebe in diesem Markt (Spa) nimmt einen breiten Raum ein."

Sascha Reiche develops a multi-modal commodity class specific freight model at the level of firms for the area of Germany that allows integration of macroscopic as well as disaggregate input data. Three modes of transport and 30 types of goods at the spatial level of 403 national and 29 international regions are considered, taking into account supply chain specifications of 88 different German business branches. The goal of this model is to provide fundamental insights into domestic freight transport organisations which should prove useful to decision makers with reference to the subject.

Worauf basiert der Erfolg der thematisierten Erlebnisangebote? Welche Inszenierungstechniken und Marketingmassnahmen kommen zum Einsatz? Wie wird sich der Markt der Themenwelten kunftig entwickeln? Welche Trends zeichnen sich bei der Thematisierung des realen Raumes ab? Antworten auf diese Fragen gibt das aktuelle und umfassende Studienbuch - die erste deutschsprachige Monographie zu diesem Thema."

During the pandemic, transportation industries have heavily suffered from the overall lack of passengers. A substantial share of employees have has been laid-off, and others have turned to different industries. As mass vaccinations begin worldwide, movement restrictions will continue to evolve and disappear in the months to come, and new opportunities and challenges for transportation industries must be considered in a post-pandemic world. Challenges and Opportunities for Transportation Services in the Post-COVID-19 Era explores the challenges and the new directions to match travelers' needs in a post-COVID-19 world and illustrates several methodological applications in transportation to inspire scholars, researchers, and developers to further their efforts in boosting the design and use of sustainable mobility. Covering a range of topics such as green resilience and sustainability, it is ideal for transportation service managers, government officials, developers, engineers, decision- makers, analysts, academicians, researchers, instructors, and students.

Sebastian Meiswinkel studies optimization problems that arise at container ports from a classic optimization as well as from a mechanism design point of view. The first part of this dissertation is focused on scheduling problems with selfish job owners that have private information about their characteristics. Afterwards the transportations of containers between the quay and a storage area is considered. Variants of this problem are analyzed for utilization of reach stackers and straddle carriers.

This book shows that transport matters. Comprising a series of highly accessible chapters written by respected experts, it reviews key transport issues and explains how and why effective and efficient transport is fundamental to successfully addressing all manner of public policy goals. Contributors explore how we 'do' transport, as a result of the technologies available to us and the cultures surrounding how we use them, and examine how this has significant social, economic and environmental consequences. They also provide key recommendations for how we could do things differently to bring about a happier, healthier and more economically secure future for all of us.

Transport costs have been, and still are, an important component of trade costs, which are one the major determinants of the volume of trade, and thus of gross domestic product (GDP) and GDP growth. Studies show that two of the main determinants of transport costs are regulatory frameworks in transport sectors and transport infrastructure. The productivity and competitiveness of goods and services firms depends largely on access to low-cost and high-quality transport services, and those services have a powerful influence on economic growth. Countries commit themselves to increasing the efficiency of transport services, which can largely be achieved through increased competition and hence through liberalization of transport sectors. Since barriers to trade in transport services are typically regulatory in nature, this book provides a thorough discussion of international, regional, and country specific rules and regulations in those sectors. Concentrating on the EU, and Turkey in particular, it considers rules and regulations in transport sectors. It shows that economic liberalization pursued unilaterally, multilaterally, or regionally has beneficial effects for Turkey, and that the benefits from such liberalization are substantial. Furthermore, the volume shows that transport infrastructure is an important determinant of exports, and hence GDP and GDP growth.

Thematische Erlebnis- und Konsumwelten erleben seit einigen Jahren in Deutschland einen ausserordentlichen Boom: Ferienparks und Themenhotels, Urban Entertainment Center und Brand Lands, Freizeitparks und Infotainment Center weisen grosse Besucherzahlen und hohe Wiederholerraten auf. Die aktuelle Krise mehrerer Musical-Produktionen und Themenrestaurant-Ketten macht zugleich deutlich, dass der Markt der Mixed-Use-Center durch eine grosse Dynamik gekennzeichnet wird. Als zentrale Steuerfaktoren erweisen sich dabei rasche Veranderungen im Konsumentenverhalten und eine wachsende Konkurrenz durch neue Wettbewerber. In der Offentlichkeit generell wie speziell auch in der Tourismusbranche besteht ein erhebliches Informationsdefizit uber Erlebnis- und Konsumwelten. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es das zentrale Ziel des Werkes, eine umfassende und grundliche Information uber die Marktsituation, das Marketing-Management und die Erfolgsfaktoren von Erlebnis- und Konsumwelten zu vermitteln."

While traditionally sequential approaches have been used to deal with the cyclic/non-cyclic crew rostering problem in public transit, Lin Xie focuses on several solution approaches based on a novel network design to solve this task within one step. This is due to the fact that sequential planning often produces some unassigned duties that require additional drivers to cover them, while some drivers do not get jobs on some days. This integrated approach reduces additional personnel/operational costs and improves the satisfaction of drivers compared with the sequential one. Moreover, the author develops a web-based decision support system, which supports the planner in choosing a customized model as well as a suitable solution approach for solving the problem.

Globalization of the economy, fragmentation of the production process, increasing externalization of TNCs activities through their global value chains and the widespread adoption of Just-in-Time have increased the flows of raw materials, intermediate goods and finished products, with a direct effect on the transport and logistics industry. This industry, indeed, plays a key role in connecting the different import and export markets and the vertically disaggregated components of production system, which are widespread in the world. The existing literature on transport and logistics is mainly focused on engineering research, transportation economics and management studies, disregarding the view of regional economics, which relates with the impact of economics on space, and therefore, on the impact of internationalisation on a specific industry - transport and logistics and its effects on space. The present book aims to fill the gap in the existing literature by presenting the state of the art of the impact of globalisation and internationalisation of the economy on this industry and focusing on the case of Italy.

Mit dem ausserordentlich starken Wachstum des Tourismus weltweit hat sich auch eine Erscheinungsvielfalt entwickelt, die mit Schwierigkeit zu uberschauen ist. Andererseits hat sich mit zahlreichen neuen Destinationen auch der Wettbewerb auf dem Tourismusmarkt verstarkt. Um erfolgreich im Markt zu bestehen, ist eine Segmentierung der Zielgruppen vorzunehmen, welche die Grundlage jeglichen Tourismusmarketing sein sollte. Mit dem Werk wird diesem Umstand Rechnung getragen, zumal die behandelten Tourismustypen fur den Anbieter touristischer Leistungen ein interessantes Gastepotential eroffnet."
