Once largely confined to the biggest cities in the mid-Atlantic and
Great Lakes states, philanthropic foundations now play a
significant role in nearly every state. Wide-ranging and incisive,
the essays in American Philanthropic Foundations: Regional
Difference and Change examine the origins, development, and
accomplishments of philanthropic foundations in key cities and
regions of the United States. Each contributor assesses foundation
efforts to address social and economic inequalities, and to
encourage cultural and creative life in their home regions and
elsewhere. This fascinating and timely study of contemporary
America's philanthropic foundations vividly illustrates
foundations' commonalities and differences as they strive to
address pressing public problems.

Examine the Prevalence and Geography of Road Collisions Spatial
Analysis Methods of Road Traffic Collisions centers on the
geographical nature of road crashes, and uses spatial methods to
provide a greater understanding of the patterns and processes that
cause them. Written by internationally known experts in the field
of transport geography, the book outlines the key issues in
identifying hazardous road locations (HRLs), considers current
approaches used for reducing and preventing road traffic
collisions, and outlines a strategy for improved road safety. The
book covers spatial accuracy, validation, and other statistical
issues, as well as link-attribute and event-based approaches,
cluster identification, and risk exposure. The book provides a
brief summary of the evolution of road safety in the twentieth
century, explores current road safety problems, and establishes
road safety as a public health issue. The authors discuss risk and
socioeconomic factors, lifestyle and behavior, and the impact of
urban development. They consider road engineering, signage, vehicle
design, the education of road users, and the enforcement of traffic
safety measures. They also factor in the overall impact of road
traffic collisions on transportation systems, economic systems,
health systems, and society as a whole. Combines theoretical
methodology with empirical data Bridges research and practice in
road safety Includes case studies from around the world Spatial
Analysis Methods of Road Traffic Collisions takes a look at spatial
methods and their role in analyzing road traffic collisions to
improve road safety. A great addition to transportation safety
practice and research, this book serves as a reference for spatial
analysis researchers and postgraduate students in traffic and
transportation engineering, transport, and urban transport
planning.
