'The authors draw on their wealth of research expertise to show that transport and mobility can’t be understood in isolation from broader social, economic and environmental processes, and that geography has to be at the heart of any approach to making transport better and more sustainable. A thought-provoking text that is essential reading for anyone studying, planning or making policy for transport.' - Jon Shaw, Professor and Head of Geography, University of Plymouth
