This book provides a fascinating look at the amazing diversity of
forms of travel and transport around the world today in the context
of cultures, politics, economics, and environment of a place.
Across the timeline of human history, transportation has played a
role in the migration of people and information, nation-building,
economic development, environmental alteration, access to and the
use of resources, and even the fall of civilizations. This
single-volume reference presents more than 150 entries that
describe the most up-to-date surface transport technologies and
routes in use on every continent, including a broad range of road
vehicles, railroads, person-powered vehicles, and even animals used
for transportation. The book melds transportation geography with
culture, politics, economics, and environment of place in its
coverage of vehicles, transportation technologies, and some of the
most famous streets, rail systems, and highways from around the
world. The entries are written by transport geography scholars to
be accessible to general readers without technical backgrounds.
Each entry incorporates cross references that allow readers to
easily find related entries, making the book ideal for conducting
specific research or completing school projects.
