Providing a comprehensive overview and analysis of the latest
research in the growing field of public transport studies, this
Handbook looks at the impact of urbanisation and the growth of
mega-cities on public transport. Chapters examine the significant
challenges facing the field that require new and original
solutions, including congestion and environmental relief, and the
social equity objectives that justify public transport in cities.
This cross-disciplinary Handbook explores current topics in public
transport research, focusing on the impact of innovative research
on planning and operations in practice. Looking at the research
frontiers in this increasingly complex and growing industry, the
Handbook offers detailed analysis of the foundations, trends and
futures of research, user perspectives, policy, planning and
operational perspectives, and the future of service developments. A
critical read for transport and urban planning students and
scholars, this cutting-edge book showcases important case studies
and insights into current research. The practical applications of
research discussed in the Handbook will also be useful to transport
and urban planners as well as public transport regulators.

This fascinating collection brings together leading football
historians and sociologists from the UK, Germany, the USA and
Australia to offer fresh perspectives on the early development of
football (soccer), not only illuminating our understanding of the
early history of the world's most popular sport, but also the
importance of sport in our broader social and cultural history. The
book presents new evidence and fresh perspectives which will inform
the robust debate that has been raging about the origins and early
development of football. It addresses key issues at the centre of
this debate, including the influence of former English public
schoolboys, the development of football subcultures outside of
prestige educational institutions, and the intersection and
divergence of the various football codes around the world. The
Early Development of Football is an important resource for anyone
working in the history of football or sports in general, football
studies or the sociology of sport. It is also a useful read for
those interested in sport management and the development of sports
organisations and rules.
This book presents a synthesis of the work on early football
undertaken by the authors over the past two decades. It explores
aspects of a figurational approach to sociology to examine the
early development of football rules in the middle part of the
nineteenth century. The book tests Dunning's status rivalry
hypothesis to contest Harvey's view of football's development which
stresses an influential sub-culture outside the public schools.
Status Rivalry re-states the primacy of these latter institutions
in the growth of football and without it the sport's story would
remain skewed and unbalanced for future generations.

This book presents findings of a highly successful, international
research project exploring links between social exclusion (SE),
transport disadvantage (TD) and psychological well being (WB). It
outlines previous methods and explains how new methods were
developed and applied to assist readers in applying new methods in
future research. New insights from results and their policy
implications are explored by leading writers in the field. In each
section the implications of the approaches and their applicability
in other geographic contexts are discussed. New analytical
perspectives include measuring the strength of links between SE, WB
and TD and the disaggregate analysis of these to specific groups
and spatial areas. The research also examines new perspectives in
relation to social capital and WB and developing new economic
methods to estimate the marginal value of additional travel and its
links to SE. The project has numerous publications in diverse
fields, however, the material presented here is new. This source
brings all the work together into one volume and provides a
consolidated set of the methods and outcomes of the project
including the unpublished final results.

Urban sprawl and sparse living are pervasive in Australia. Despite
high levels of car ownership, many Australians do not have access
to a private car for their travel needs. These people, often from
marginalised groups in society such as young people, those on low
incomes, older people, indigenous Australians and those with
disabilities, face difficulties accessing services, facilities and
activities. What are the personal and social costs of lack of
access to transport on individual and community well-being? How,
and to what extent, do poor transport options contribute to
disadvantage? No Way to Go is an edited collection of papers that
discuss the links between transport disadvantage and social
exclusion in Australia. The book begins by exploring the global
context for the Australian experience, with a series of papers from
international contributors. In the second section, case studies
based on recent empirical research examine the situation from the
perspectives of different marginalised groups in Australian
society. The book concludes by examining the implications for
Australian social and transport policy.
