Originally published in 1985, this volume examines the determinants
of transport energy consumption and discusses policies which could
modify rising transport energy consumption while still providing
the transport services necessary for economic development. The
first part of the volume contains an overview of trends in energy
consumption followed by an investigation of the relationships
expressing basic determinants of transport energy. Although the
focus is on developing countries there are other inudstrial and
centrally planned economies which are included for reference
purposes and to extend the range of policy variables studied. There
are detailed case studies from India and Ecuador and the greater
detail of these case studies permits the consideration of
additional policy variables in the analysis of transport fuel
consumption.

Originally published in 1978, this report summarises the results of
a workshop on why energy consumption is much higher in the United
States than other industrialised countries with similar living
standards. The papers included in the workshop make interesting
comparisons between countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom
and the United States, raising interesting questions about
environmental policy-making. This title will be of interest to
students of Environmental Studies.
This volume originated as a report given to the World Bank in 1978
on the household energy consumption of both the urban and rural
poor in developing countries. Originally published in 1979, this
title supplies alternatives for meeting the domestic energy needs
of the poor in developing countries and looks at the results of
experiments in introducing new forms of energy. This book is a
valuable resource for public policy makers and students interested
in environmental studies and developmental studies.
Taken from a report for the Electric Power Research Institute, Joy
Dunkerley's study aims to clarify the relationship between energy
consumption and economic output in industrialised countries.
Originally published in 1980 and using data from 1972, this study
uses cross-country comparisons of energy use to stress the
importance of new supply options and measures of controlling energy
use without affecting living standards whilst also discussing the
impact of energy prices and economic growth in the countries
studied. This title will be of interest to students of
environmental studies.

Few in the English-speaking world realize that Aeropostale, the
French airline often associated with pilot Antoine de
Saint-Exupery, author of The Little Prince, was the world's first
intercontinental carrier and a company that catapulted France into
the role of the world's aviation leader. Founded in 1918 as a mail
and passenger carrier between the south of France and Morocco it
soon expanded mail service to Argentina. When rival carriers were
traveling routes separated by mere hundreds of miles, it became an
airline that remained a symbol of adventure and daring until its
liquidation in 1931. In Sometimes Eagle's Wings: The Saga of
Aeropostale, Joy Dunkerley brings to life this historic airline,
infusing each page with compelling and often intriguing information
about its pilots and crews, its historic presence in South America,
and the political and financial wrangling that kept it flying and
eventually led to its demise.
