Modern transportation systems have far-reaching, and serious consequences: deaths and injuries from accidents, pollution of air, water and groundwater, noise congestion, and the greenhouse effect. As world transport systems expand and become increasingly motorised, the transportation community is searching for systems that are both efficient and sustainable. Here, leading international researchers explore the issues and concepts and define the state of knowledge concerning the full costs and benefits of transportation.

Research, Volume 2," as well as a Preface and two new articles by
Cameron Allen published in The American Genealogist: "The Soblets
of the European Refuge" and "Ancestral Table of Susanne Brian, Wife
of Abraham Soblet." With more than 1,000 footnotes and an index of

This third volume concerns the funerary remains from the site of
Kulubnarti in the Northern Sudan. Graves from two different
cemeteries, one on the island of Kulubnarti, the other on the
adjacent left bank of the Nile, are described and discussed in
terms of their location, descriptions of the grave types within
their medieval context, the grave goods and analysis of the
skeletal remains. In particular, Nettie Adams provides a detailed
study of the well preserved textiles which ascribe to the practice
of wrapping the bodies in cloth, sometimes secured with bindings,
prior to deposition, occasionally laid on a woven mat. The two
cemeteries date to the pre-Christian period and from c.AD 600 to
recent times, respectively. Volume I of this report outlines the
architectural remains and volume II the artefactual evidence.
