Handbook of Transport Geography and Spatial Systems
The subject of this volume is the dynamic interactions between transport and the physical, economic, and human geographies it weaves through. Each chapter was specially commissioned from an acknowledged world expert on its topic. Each offers an overview and useful insights to those familiar with the area as well as those new to it. Systematic and thorough in its creation, current and accessible in its content, and authoritative and international in its authorship, the “Handbook of Transport Geography and Spatial Systems” will be the definitive reference work on this important subject.
