In the last forty years or so the research field exploring the
relationship and interaction between transport and development has
developed rapidly. While sophistication in analysis has increased,
understanding the effective integration of transport and
development often remains poor in theory and in practice - with
sometimes devastating effects. This Handbook provides a
comprehensive analysis of both the current and emerging thinking in
this field, drawing on multidisciplinary thinking in transport
planning, transport, urban and spatial economics, and the wider
social sciences. With 45 chapters from leading international
authors, the book is organised around three main themes: - urban
structure and travel - transport and spatial impacts - wider
dimensions in transport and development. The chapters each present
commentary on key issues within these themes, presenting the debate
on the impacts of urban structure on travel, the impacts of
transport investment on development, and social and cultural change
on travel. A multitude of competing inter-disciplinary perspectives
are considered - leaving the reader with an invaluably
comprehensive and critical understanding of the field. This major
Handbook will serve as a guide for undergraduates and graduate
students, researchers, consultants, and also practitioners and
policy makers, wishing to find a comprehensive and original
reference to research on transport and development. Contributors:

This book addresses the challenges of planning sustainable freight
transport systems (road and air) in a time when the industry faces
increasing pressure from environmental limits, climate change,
carbon emission targets, bottlenecks in oil supply, infrastructure
shortages and urban congestion. The author examines sustainable
freight transport over the last 45 years on three continents, and
includes developments on transport economics, logistics and
transport geography as well as environmental economics. Readers
will gain valuable insight on a number of practices and
methodologies that will assist in making their systems more
sustainable with fewer negative environmental effects at both the
local and global level.
In minutes, Dylan's world has changed. His teacher holds a gun to
his head. A girl he digs throws him across the room like a rag
doll. A classmate shot, but there is no hole. He is no longer just
a student in a dilapidated high school in the harsh dictatorship of
Renatus. Dylan is now being hunted by his own government for what
makes him so special, he is 'infected'. 'Infected', a term coined
by the government to scare its citizens into turning anyone with
symptoms. What the people don't know is that the 'infected' can
possess abilities such as faster reflexes or being able to zap
people with electricity. The more abilities are used, the faster
you go insane... or your head implodes from the inside. The reach
and greed of Renatus is endless, and their motives are hidden by
propaganda and manipulation. Forced to flee with his friends to
escape the grip of the government, the truth about Dylan's missing
father is revealed along with the secret behind the 77 year long
tyranny of Renatus. Not everyone makes it to safety, however, as
friends and families are captured during their escape attempt. They
are being held hostage; destined to be part of twisted experiments
to extract data on those who are infected. SKY OF DUST: THE LAST
WEAPON is young adult novel with a blend of romance, action,
adventure, and science fiction.
