Originally published in 1983, this volume examines one of the most
long-standing major commercial water-arteries of Western and
Central Europe: The Rhine. Since the mid 20th Century its
importance has been given new stimulus by the intensified mobility
of economic circulation generated by the EU – forming as it does
a common axis to that organisation’s original six members. The
Rhine is one of the world’s busiest rivers and therefore provides
an excellent case study in the development of inland waterway
transport, not only because of its complex physical nature, but
also because of the diversity of economic, social and political
patterns along its course.
Originally published in 1979, this volume is an invaluable study of
a railway system and its adjustment to changing
political-geographical conditions, as well as changes in economic
and social geography. Each change in the territorial extent or in
the internal territorial-administrative organisation of Germany has
had its repercussions upon the spatial pattern of the country’s
economy and consequently upon the demand for transport.
Furthermore, the central position of Germany within the continent
has given an added importance to the role of its railways in the
overall pattern of the European railway system. For the transport
geographer the comparisons and contrasts with the British railway
system are particularly insightful.

This detailed analysis, originally published in 1989 studies the
relationship between nation, state and territory. It explores the
evolution of nations and the development of the state idea.
Consideration is given to the frontier, s the interface between
states, the influence of defence requirements, and the dilemmas
involved in organizing the internal territorial-administrative
arrangements of state territory. Finally the book reviews the
geographical problems of empires, in growth and decline, and the
impact of international organizations among states. Throughout the
book, the themese are given an historical dimension and are
supported by numerous maps and examples.
