Biography
Aharon Kellerman is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Haifa, Israel, and is President of Zefat Academic College, Israel. He also serves as Vice-President of the International Geographical Union (IGU), and acts as Honorary Chair of its Commission on the Geography of the Information Society, which he established and chaired.
’This book is a truly interdisciplinary piece of work. It shows the complexities of a multifaceted world of mobilities. We learn how physical, virtual and social movements stick together, influence each other and interact. While being aware of the tremendous risks modern societies face today, Kellerman formulates a strong plea for autonomy and freedom of individuals. Mobility is so much more than just changing places - it is a way of being in the world, being connected and being social. This truth carries the reader to a deeper understanding of the nature of mobility.’ Sven Kesselring, Aalborg University, Denmark and Technische Universität München, Germany
