Transport: general interest Books
ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Sustainable Urban Logistics: Planning and
Book SynopsisUrban logistics has been a subject of interest to researchers and practitioners for more than 20 years in France and Europe, and more than 40 in the United States. Nevertheless, the subject remains difficult to address by a lack of unification in the definitions and proposed methods but also by what makes its great richness: the diversity of actors and the pluridisciplinarity of the methods and techniques available.This book, which synthesizes more than 10 years of personal research on the subject, but also experience within different teams and projects, intends to bring a unified vision (and more and more followed at the international level) on logistics planning Urban development. It begins with an overview of research in urban logistics and then describes and defines the main components: flows, actors, infrastructures, management components, technologies, regulations and financing actions. A unified vision of these elements as well as the definition of sustainable urban logistics is proposed.Then, the book presents the basics of planning and managing sustainable urban logistics. First, the basics of the before-after analysis are introduced, not only for the experiments but also for the simulation of scenarios. To carry out this type of analysis, two main groups of methods are needed: methods for estimating flows and methods for calculating evaluation indicators. The book presents the main global standards and dominant models for the estimation of the urban freight transport demand, i.e. of freight transport needs in urban areas. Then it presents the methods for estimating and simulating transport and distribution schemes (i.e. transport supply) as well as a proposal for integrated supply-demand modeling. All these methods are presented for immediate application to practitioners, accompanied by summary tables and parameters necessary for their implementation.As far as evaluation is concerned, the book presents a framework for the choice of sustainable indicators and scorecards. Second, the main methods for economic, environmental, social and accessibility assessment are presented. They are accompanied by tables and figures necessary for their implementation. Finally, the main applications of the proposed methods are introduced. The book is meant to be a practical guide to applying the main methods from scientific research to a practical context, and presents examples of quantified and explained application. It is thus the first book that summarizes and presents the main unified methods to help the different decision-makers to implement them in their actions of planning and management of the urban logistics and the transport of goods in town.Table of ContentsPreface ix Chapter 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Consumer Logistics: Surfing the Digital Wave
Book SynopsisDigital technology has changed the way we work, socialize, shop, play and learn. This book offers a stimulating exploration of how digitization has begun transforming the prevailing global logistics system into a self-service and sharing economy, and ultimately provides a vision of the monumental changes likely to overflow into the business landscape.Consumer Logistics thoughtfully assesses the challenges posed to businesses as the Internet of Things, 3D printing and other yet-to-come technologies start to connect humans and physical objects in forms that will further transform lifestyles. Through a review of the evolutionary journey of logistics management, this book argues that the fourth wave of global logistics is fast giving way to the fifth wave of consumer logistics, which will see consumers adapt to the seamless offline-online purchasing experience brought by Omnichannel Retailing. By considering how logistics and digital technologies will interact to redefine consumer logistics, Peter J. Rimmer and Booi Hon Kam argue that this outcome is likely to reflect the character of the sixth great logistics wave: personal logistics.Thought-provoking, and contemporary in topic, this book will be of great value to business people interested in future trends, logistics professionals and operators, as well as academics and students worldwide working on logistics, supply chains and digital transformations.Trade Review'Cost reduction has driven previous waves of logistics innovation - from distribution management, to collaborative practices across firms, to the creation of global supply chain networks - but Rimmer and Kam argue that consumer demands will drive new logistics innovations. Localization, flexible production, and consumer choice are in, while supplier-focused, global supply chains are out. Companies that adapt their logistics processes to the new reality will survive and prosper; those that do not will meet their demise.' --Martin Dresner, University of Maryland, College Park, US'Consumer Logistics: Surfing the Digital Wave provides thought provoking insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by omnichannel approaches and Industry 4.0 which are currently revolutionising supply chains. The book utilises both practitioner and academic insights into how the ''digital wave'' is impacting logistics and creating value for organisations and consumers. This book should be a starting point for organisations reflecting on logistics and supply chain strategy, I found it raised many questions and ideas that supply chain professionals will need to consider in the coming years. The digital wave is a tough wave to surf and is constantly shifting, this book provides a useful starting point for those about to get wet!' --Richard Wilding OBE, Cranfield School of Management, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd How Great Cities Happen: Integrating People, Land
Book SynopsisUrban planners in developed countries are increasingly recognizing the need for closer integration of land use and transport. However, this updated second edition of How Great Cities Happen explains how crises like climate change and the lack of affordable housing demonstrate the urgent need for a broader approach in order to create and sustain great cities.Offering innovative solutions to these contemporary challenges, this second edition of How Great Cities Happen examines new and emerging directions in strategic land use transport planning and analyses how cities function as a home for future generations and other species. Taking an integrated approach, and building on the first edition, chapters explore a broad range of issues concerning strategic urban planning. These include planning for productivity growth; social inclusion and wellbeing, with a particular focus on planning cities for children and youth; housing affordability; environmental sustainability; and integrated governance and funding arrangements. New issues covered in this edition include pressing concerns like climate change and biodiversity protection. The authors adopt a meticulous yet non-technical and accessible approach, grounded in a blend of academic and real-world experience of cities.This transdisciplinary second edition will prove vital to students and scholars of urban planning, transport economics, and social and environmental policy, alongside professional planners and urban policymakers.Trade Review‘In an urban age disrupted by pandemics, war, economic crisis, and a failing global ecology, the second edition of How Great Cities Happen could not have come at a more important time. Its insightful lessons from urban policy making and governance in a variety of global cities, including the authors’ home town of Melbourne, extend and improve upon their earlier work. The book presents a very valuable and timely resource for government and citizens and deserves to be widely read and discussed.’ -- Brendan Gleeson, The University of Melbourne, Australia‘A timely and important contribution on some of the most vexing challenges facing cities today. Pathways are laid for creating low-carbon, affordable, and socially just places drawing lessons from some of the world’s best designed and livable cities, including Vancouver, Malmö, Melbourne, and London. A must read for progressive-minded urban planners.’ -- Robert Cervero, University of California, Berkeley, US‘This second edition provides topical and invaluable evidence for everyone concerned about the future and sustainability of cities, whether they are planners, researchers, politicians or residents.’ -- Richard D.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Handbook of Wine and Culture
Book SynopsisThis title was a prize winner at the OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine) Awards 2023.The link between culture and wine reaches back into the earliest history of humanity.The Routledge Handbook of Wine and Culture brings together a newly comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of contemporary research and thinking on how wine fits into the cultural frameworks of production, intermediationand consumption.Bringing together many leading researchers engaged in studying these phenomena, it explores the different ways in which wine is constructed as a social artefact and how its representation and use acquire symbolic meaning. Wine can be analysed in different ways by varying disciplines involved in exploring wine and culture (anthropology, economics and business, geography, history and sociology, and as text). TheHandbook uses these as lenses to consider how producers, intermediaries and consumers use and create cultural significance.Trade Review'Food and eating as a component of culture has been a prosperous field of study for the last few decades. For myself, I always felt a bit daunted at taking on the often esoteric-seeming culture of wine. But in this book, the international, interdisciplinary and learned team of editors have produced a wonderful introduction to the field that allays all anxieties. It is an impressive collection, and written in a lively fashion.'Stephen Mennell, author of All Manners of Food, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University College Dublin.'With a massive all star cast of social scientists and more this new compendium does nothing less than show how that heavenly beverage, wine, touches every part of the culture of much of the world. Extravagantly edited and carefully written, this is a handbook for the ages.'Orley Ashenfelter, Princeton University, American Association of Wine Economists (President), and Editorial Boards, Journal of Wine Economics and Journal of Cultural Economics.'An enchanting and authoritative sampling, or tasting, or wine aspect of wine lore and information. Not just about production and consumption, the Handbook evokes creative thinking about wine in society, economy and personal life.'Professor Paul Freedman, Chester D. Tripp Professor of History, Dept. of History, Yale University.'Wine culture can be intimidating. Happily, we now have a Handbook that puts out the welcome mat for newcomers, but also provides nuanced analysis for seasoned wine scholars. This broad-reaching compendium walks readers through the transnational expanse of wine culture that touches business, economics, geography, history. The multidisciplinary team helps us to appreciate wine as a material good but also a cultural product embedded in ideologies and power relations. It is an indispensable touchstone for future research on wine.' Josée Johnston, co-author of Foodies, Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto."More than a handbook, this volume is an invitation to explore wine as a cultural object and phenomenon. From anthropology to economics, scholars from a variety of disciplines explore the culture of wine from novel perspectives. The reader can delve into the colonial past and legacy of wine, engage with current environmental issues or think about what the future might hold for the production of wine.Showing that wine is good to think, this volume will appeal to wine lovers and scholars alike. The quality of the writing and the breadth of the topics make this handbook an excellent resource for anyone interested in delving into the cultural importance of wine.The Routledge Handbook of Wine and Culture is an excellent addition to the growing scholarship on wine and culture. What is particularly remarkable about this volume is the breadth of the topics covered and the complementary nature of the interdisciplinary research. This work is a wonderful addition to academic and home libraries."Rachel Black, Associate Editor of Food and Foodways, Associate Professor, Anthropology Dept., Connecticut College.Table of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis Planning After Petroleum
Book SynopsisThe past decade has been one of the most volatile periods in global petroleum markets in living memory, and future oil supply security and price levels remain highly uncertain. This poses many questions for the professional activities of planners and urbanists because contemporary cities are highly dependent on petroleum as a transport fuel. How will oil dependent cities respond, and adapt to, the changing pattern of petroleum supplies? What key strategies should planners and policy makers implement in petroleum vulnerable cities to address the challenges of moving beyond oil? How might a shift away from petroleum provide opportunities to improve or remake cities for the economic, social and environmental imperatives of twenty-first-century sustainability?Such questions are the focus of contributors to this book with perspectives ranging across the planning challenge: overarching petroleum futures, governance, transition and climate change questions, the role ofTrade Review"When future generations look back on today’s struggle to move off oil as the lifeblood of global society, they will wonder why it took so long for people to see the writing on the wall and find a better way to power the engines of human endeavor. This volume makes an important contribution to that writing on the wall and presents promising tools needed to deal with our energy problems. If contemporary economic and political leaders can learn from the thoughtful approaches in this book, the inevitable post-carbon future that awaits will bring a brighter day for human civilization."Anthony Perl, Professor of Urban Studies & Political Science, Simon Fraser University, CanadaTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsList of FiguresList of TablesList of AbbreviationsNotes on ContributorsForewordBrendan GleesonIntroduction1.

Taylor & Francis Transport Justice
Book SynopsisTransport Justice develops a new paradigm for transportation planning based on principles of justice. Author Karel Martens starts from the observation that for the last fifty years the focus of transportation planning and policy has been on the performance of the transport system and ways to improve it, without much attention being paid to the persons actually using or failing to use that transport system.There are far-reaching consequences of this approach, with some enjoying the fruits of the improvements in the transport system, while others have experienced a substantial deterioration in their situation. The growing body of academic evidence on the resulting disparities in mobility and accessibility, have been paralleled by increasingly vocal calls for policy changes to address the inequities that have developed over time. Drawing on philosophies of social justice, Transport Justice argues that governments have the fundamental duty of providing virtuallyTrade ReviewNamed one of Book Authority's 100 Best Transportation Books of All Time"For academics, this book presents a long-overdue discussion on transport justice from a philosophical perspective. For practitioners, the rules developed in the book may serve as guidance and a starting point for establishing a transportation planning process that is more fair and inclusive. For policymakers, this book sheds light on the shortcomings of current financing, taxation, and project selection schemes and assists them in making informed decisions when implementing interventions in the transportation system." -Journal of the American Planning Association"In Transport Justice Martens considers many dimensions of fairness in society’s provision of physical accessibility, demonstrating clearly how concepts of justice developed by renowned thinkers like Rawls and Dworkin can be extended to, and quantified in, the assessment of urban transport systems to improve the process of regional transport planning." Martin Wachs, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of California Los Angeles, USA"Transport Justice is an exceptionally important and original addition to urban studies literature. Combining theoretical and practical insights, it shows the way in which transportation policy, usually a technical domain focused on efficiency, can be a significant contributor to equity and sets up principles for evaluating transportation systems in terms of the distribution of benefits." Susan S. Fainstein, Author, The Just City"Karel Martens has written an insightful, thoughtful book that will transform the field of equity analysis of transportation systems. By focusing on accessibility and establishing new thresholds for analysis, he presents a new analytical framework that focuses on justice." Deb Niemeier, Ph.D., Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California Los Angeles, USA"Karel Martens observes that justice principles play a key role in the domains of housing, health care and education. In contrast, the domain of transport is dominated by one notion: efficiency, efficiency, efficiency. The choice of subject is therefore in itself already a revolution in our thinking about mobility... This book caters for readers who realize that scientific and societal progress benefits mostly from asking the right questions, even if sometimes there are no ready-made answers." Kris Peeters, Eindelijk, de essentie!"In Transport Justice, Martens addresses a large, informed and educated public, targeting both transport specialists, theoreticians and practitioners, as well as students and activists. It covers a very wide range of transportation planning issues. (…) All those working on transportation justice issues will benefit from reading the first two and last three chapters, which will certainly renew the debate about transportation fairness." -Fannie Bélanger-Lemay, UrbanitésTable of ContentsPart 1: Introduction1.
