Opis

This is a fully edited text arising from a major European Commission research project - Policy Scenarios for Sustainable Mobility (POSSUM). New material has also been commissioned to produce a valuable publication for all those concerned with transport and in particular for those involved with decision making and policy analysis. The book sets European transport policy in context and includes forces of change, transport trends, policy responses and impacts on sustainable development. The authors examine the prospects for bringing about change and how different policies might help to achieve more sustainable development.

Recenzje

'It is a new and very interesting attempt to place transport activities within their general and societal framework. It is also a very inspiring read, because it shows that, if we can move ahead together, we are still able to prepare an acceptable future for future generations.' - Journal of Transport Geography

'An excellent series of practical courses for study and revision of modern languages. I was particularly impressed by the interface design, which is clear and easy to use ... The language learning materials in all the CD ROMs are well written and researched, and use a well-chosen selection of examples that are a good collection of examples of "real" situations. This collection of CD ROMs is an excellent "revision" tool for someone setting out on a business trip or holiday, or as a resource available in a student language learning laboratory.' - Lorna M. Hughes, Assistant Director for Humanities Computing, York University, USA

'Educationally sound and effective.' - Library Technology
