Book SynopsisThe rulers of London in the late middle ages sought to safeguard the future of their important river crossing by placing its administration in the hands of a specially created institution. By the mid-fourteenth century the "BridgeHouse", as it became known, had been endowed with a large portfolio of properties which provided the bulk of the revenue needed for the frequent, and often urgent, repairs to London Bridge's structure: as many as 130 shops stoodon the bridge itself. As well as providing information on the technicalities of bridge-building or wider issues concerning urban crafts and productive processes, the accounts and rentals from the institution's archive provide useful snapshots of the bridge at various points in its often turbulent history.

He is based in Bath.Trade Review"The need for innovation in logistics was never an option and should be in the DNA of every supply chain professional. The second edition of Logistics and Supply Chain Innovation is an easy-to-read, substantial reference book. It is the opportunity to add new imperatives that already and will continue to disrupt the world of logistics and supply chain such as global pandemics and the decarbonization urgency, calling for a next normal." * Celine Hourcade, Founder and Managing Director, Change Horizon *"Logistics and Supply Chain Innovation - a classic. With the past two years highlighting the critical role that supply chain plays in our lives, the authors John Manners-Bell and Ken Lyon have provided a timely update to their comprehensive guide to innovation in the chain. Whether it is digitalization, globalization, transformation or technological disruption, the authors provide an in-depth explanation of the current state and what the future holds for sustainable expansion to soften the pain in the chain. A must-read and must-have reference for any practising logistics and supply chain professional." * Raghu Ramachandran, Founder, 13 Colony Global and former Director of the Strategic Enterprise Fund, UPS *"Given the rapid rate at which logistics systems and supply chains are evolving both technologically and managerially, the new edition of this excellent review of innovation in the field is particularly welcome. To my knowledge, no other book is so comprehensive, up-to-date and insightful in its assessment of the major developments currently reshaping the way in which goods are distributed." * Professor Alan McKinnon, Professor of Logistics at Kuehne Logistics University and Emeritus Professor of Logistics at Heriot Watt University *"This latest edition is a very valuable read for anyone working in the supply chain. Appreciating and adopting innovation is key to business performance, and to saving our planet." * Nick Wildgoose, CEO, Supplien Consulting and former Global Supply Chain Product Leader, Zurich Insurance *"This latest edition demonstrates how innovation can contribute in a positive way to address disruption throughout global supply chains. It is important that the digital journey continues to develop and I warmly recommend this book to any reader that might be interested in innovations within global supply chains." * Cecilia Strokirk, Project Manager Seamless Transports & Logistics, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden *"This second edition of Logistics and Supply Chain Innovation provides the most up-to-date, essential and comprehensive 'What You Need to Know' about future directions for Logistics and Supply Chain, including practical insights on how to deal with the strategic supply chain priorities for the post-pandemic world - namely, Resilience, Sustainability and Digitalization." * Mark Millar, Supply Chain Thought Leader and Author, 'Global Supply Chain Ecosystems' *"With the ongoing supply chain crisis resulting from COVID-19, one might have thought that John Manners-Bell and Ken Lyon would have to rewrite their 2018 first edition of Logistics and Supply Chain Innovation. In reality, events have confirmed the importance of the key issues already covered in their 2018 edition. Without the technological and organizational advances we have seen in logistics over the last decade and analyzed in the book, COVID-19 would have had a far worse negative impact on global trade and supply chains. In their second edition, the authors eloquently update the reader on key developments in supply chain models, technologies, digitalization, sustainability imperatives, and markets. The reader is guided through the recent past towards an outlook and future directions. A timely book, which will be important for policy makers and practitioners who have become ever more aware of the crucial importance of supply chains for today's trade and development." * Jan Hoffmann, Head, Trade Logistics Branch, Division on Technology and Logistics, UNCTAD *"There is never a dull moment in the planning and moving of material and the authors prove just that. Disruptive innovation is a story without an ending and this presentation of the broad subject matter entices readers to continue to breakout, influence, and build something new." * Dr Don Clark, Principal, DC Maritime Systems *"Digging from the extensive knowledge and hands-on experience of its authors, this book provides a thorough analysis of technological and business model innovations in supply chains and logistics. Providing an overview of major trends, from containerization a few decades ago to more recent developments in, for instance, IOT, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain and autonomous vehicles. It helps the reader understand the profound transformations that are affecting the supply chains and logistics industry, and what this could mean for the future. An excellent publication, and a lively reading thanks to a wide variety of examples and case studies." * Anne Miroux, Faculty Fellow, Emerging Markets Institute, Cornell University and former Director of the Division on Technology and Logistics, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development *Table of Contents Chapter - 00: Introduction; Section - ONE: The impact of innovation and disruption on the supply chain; Chapter - 01: The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the anatomy of innovation; Chapter - 02: Breaking the paradigm; Chapter - 03: Lessons from the past; Chapter - 04: Disruption to the post-Covid-19 supply chain and logistics industry; Section - TWO: Transforming supply chain models; Chapter - 05: The direct-to-consumer model and its implications for logistics; Chapter - 06: Alternative downstream retail distribution models; Chapter - 07: On-demand delivery and crowd-shipping; Chapter - 08: Innovating to meet the challenge of urban distribution; Chapter - 09: The disruptive power of e-retailing; Chapter - 10: Amazon – The ultimate disruptor; Chapter - 11: 3D printing and the transformation of upstream supply chains; Section - THREE: New technology development and adoption; Chapter - 12: The Internet of Things, Big Data and artificial intelligence; Chapter - 13: Control towers and supply chain visibility; Chapter - 14: Blockchain in supply chains; Chapter - 15: The disruptive potential of robots and automation in the warehouse; Chapter - 16: Autonomous vehicles and delivery robots; Section - FOUR: Digitalization of logistics markets; Chapter - 17: Digital road freight and warehousing platforms; Chapter - 18: The digitalization of international freight forwarding; Chapter - 19: Disrupting trade finance; Section - FIVE: Innovating for sustainability; Chapter - 20: The role of new technologies in mitigating climate change; Chapter - 21: A guide to alternative propulsion systems; Chapter - 22: Designing smart and circular supply chains; Chapter - 23: ‘Shifting to Green’ survey; Section - SIX: Future directions for global supply chains; Chapter - 24: The ‘Great Reset’; Chapter - 25: Conclusion

Book SynopsisComprising contributions from a range of experts, this volume offers a critical commentary on the government''s sustainable transport policy.

Experts contribute up-to-the-minute analyses of the key issues. Will inform debate over the future of transport policy. Includes a Foreword by David Begg, Chair of the Commission for Integrated Transport. Trade Review"should be on every consultant’s, politician’s and planner’s desk and in the library of every institution where transport is seriously studied" (Logistic and Transport Focus, March 2004) "This book outlines the political and implementation questions relating to transport policy delivery in the UK.

The contributors to this book systematically document and assess the record of the Government on transport over the last six years." --David Banister, University College London "This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in UK transport policy. It debunks, in forensic detail, the myth that the government has a coherent strategy for transport." --Christian Wolmar, author of Broke Rails – How Privatisation Wrecked Britain’s Railways "This book is valuable not only to transport geographers and the growing literature on sustainable transport, but to anyone interested in how government promises fail to come to fruition."

Book SynopsisIn a geographically dispersed country such as Canada, in which regions are distinguished resource bases, transport policies are a critical factor in economic development. In this study James Melvin considers the role of tariffs as they affect transportation costs within Canada. Melvin proposes application of the two-country model of neoclassical trade to the interregional economic structure of Canada, taking into account the costs of internal transport. He applies this basic theoretical approach to a number of different problems; taxation, capital flows between regions, short-run factor immobility, and increasing returns to scale.Melvin's findings indicate that tariffs induce resource waste by encouraging excessive internal transportation of goods between regions. He concludes that with an assessment of policy implications for Ontario arising from his study.

Book SynopsisAs commercial flight is changing dramatically and its future remains unclear, a look at how we got hereGrounded: Perpetual Flight . . . and Then the Pandemic considers the time leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing global plummet in commercial flight. Mobility studies scholar Christopher Schaberg tours the newly opened airport terminal outside of New Orleans (MSY) in late 2019, and goes on to survey the broad cultural landscape of empty airports and grounded planes in the early months of the novel coronavirus’s spread in 2020. The book culminates in a reflection on the future of air travel: what may unfold, and what parts of commercial flight are almost certainly relics of the past. Grounded blends journalistic reportage with cultural theory and philosophical inquiry in order to offer graspable insights as well as a stinging critique of contemporary air travel.Table of ContentsContentsPrefaceSit Down, Be HumbleFlyoverThe 30,000-foot ViewThe Flying-VDwell TimeOde to Empty AirportsGroundedOnce upon a Time . . .Acknowledgments

Book SynopsisIn July 1882, the steamboat Red Cloud hit a snag near Fort Peck, Montana, and settled into the bed of the Missouri River with a full cargo. The flagship of I. G. Baker and Company, it had served as an agent of change in the West through which it traveled. The Red Cloud was a symbol - and a source - of the trading company's success. This stern-wheeled, wooden-hulled packet boat carried both cargo and passengers on a ""floating palace."" When it sank five years later, though, the transcontinental railroad was already displacing the steamboat as the preferred way to transport both people and cargo. The first book to view the development of the Canadian Rockies from a maritime perspective, ""The Life and Times of the Steamboat Red Cloud"" ties the Missouri River's commercial development with the opening of the Canadian West and with the formation of the Canadian North-West Mounted Police. Readers interested in western history, maritime history, and nautical archaeology will find this book an invaluable addition to their libraries.

Book Synopsis'This very interesting book explores the issues and approaches that society must take to shift to lower carbon usage in transportation. . . Each expert contributor provides excellent insight into the various facets of contemporary mobility systems and transportation practices to help the reader understand the complexities of transportation and related environmental concerns. Topics include urbanization and transportation in urban areas travel patterns, accessibility to transportation, and financial aspects.'- W.J. Sproule, Choice'In their new book, Moving Towards Low Carbon Mobility, Moshe Givoni and David Banister have succeeded in doing what few edited volumes achieve. They have put together a set of chapters by international experts on a range of topics that link together tightly as a coherent whole.'- Michael Kuby, Journal of Transport Geography'For a thorough and thoughtful perspective on what it will take to de-carbonize cities of the future, this book is a must-read. Technology alone, we are told, will not create the post-carbon city. As important is coming to grips with a complex web of cultural, institutional, financial, and social factors that powerfully shape mobility choices, now and in the future. A balanced, holistic approach that reveals how the many elements of contemporary transport systems work together offers the best hope for achieving more sustainable, less carbon-intensive mobility futures.'- Robert Cervero, University of California, Berkeley, USThe transport sector has been singularly unsuccessful in becoming low carbon and less resource intensive. This book takes an innovative and holistic social, cultural and behavioural perspective, as well as covering the more conventional economic and technological dimensions, to provide a more complete understanding of the mobility and transport system and its progress towards high carbon mobility.The book uses this platform to explore the means to achieve low carbon mobility through outlining alternative pathways, through an investigation of theories of change, and through alternative visions of the low carbon transport city. The book's core message is that the complexity of the mobility and transport system should not encourage inaction, but strong and immediate action. In addition to implementing a wide range of policy measures, the book argues for a fundamental change in 'thinking' when it comes to transport policy, governance and analysis approaches, before low carbon mobility becomes a reality.Bringing together the latest thinking on transport, mobility and the environment, this book will appeal to researchers and students interested in sustainability issues and sustainable transport and transport related areas in particular, including policy makers as well as a more general professional audience.Contributors include: N.

TranTrade Review'This is not just another book about transport and climate change. It sensibly places transport within the much broader concept of mobility and explores all aspects of travel behaviour, of people and goods, and the infrastructure needs to serve these, leading to a balanced set of policy proposals. This volume, compiled by an internationally eminent team of researchers, is essential reading for all those wanting a balanced and objective analysis of this critical topic.' --Roger Vickerman, University of Kent, UK'`A unique assemblage of papers by top international experts that together cover every aspect of the transport-mobility-environment relationship - today's central issue for transport planners worldwide.' --Sir Peter Hall, University College London, UK'The book is an excellent piece of work. It draws on cutting-edge knowledge on all issues related to the problems of the presently high carbon mobility system and draws on knowledge about ways to achieve low carbon mobility. It is highly recommendable for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as for anyone interested to know more about the intractable problems embedded in a high carbon mobility system.' --Erling Holden, Journal of Environmental Policy & PlanningTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book Synopsis'This very interesting book explores the issues and approaches that society must take to shift to lower carbon usage in transportation. . . Each expert contributor provides excellent insight into the various facets of contemporary mobility systems and transportation practices to help the reader understand the complexities of transportation and related environmental concerns. Topics include urbanization and transportation in urban areas travel patterns, accessibility to transportation, and financial aspects.'- W.J. Sproule, Choice'In their new book, Moving Towards Low Carbon Mobility, Moshe Givoni and David Banister have succeeded in doing what few edited volumes achieve. They have put together a set of chapters by international experts on a range of topics that link together tightly as a coherent whole.'- Michael Kuby, Journal of Transport Geography'For a thorough and thoughtful perspective on what it will take to de-carbonize cities of the future, this book is a must-read. Technology alone, we are told, will not create the post-carbon city. As important is coming to grips with a complex web of cultural, institutional, financial, and social factors that powerfully shape mobility choices, now and in the future. A balanced, holistic approach that reveals how the many elements of contemporary transport systems work together offers the best hope for achieving more sustainable, less carbon-intensive mobility futures.'- Robert Cervero, University of California, Berkeley, USThe transport sector has been singularly unsuccessful in becoming low carbon and less resource intensive. This book takes an innovative and holistic social, cultural and behavioural perspective, as well as covering the more conventional economic and technological dimensions, to provide a more complete understanding of the mobility and transport system and its progress towards high carbon mobility.The book uses this platform to explore the means to achieve low carbon mobility through outlining alternative pathways, through an investigation of theories of change, and through alternative visions of the low carbon transport city. The book's core message is that the complexity of the mobility and transport system should not encourage inaction, but strong and immediate action. In addition to implementing a wide range of policy measures, the book argues for a fundamental change in 'thinking' when it comes to transport policy, governance and analysis approaches, before low carbon mobility becomes a reality.Bringing together the latest thinking on transport, mobility and the environment, this book will appeal to researchers and students interested in sustainability issues and sustainable transport and transport related areas in particular, including policy makers as well as a more general professional audience.Contributors include: N.

TranTrade Review'This is not just another book about transport and climate change. It sensibly places transport within the much broader concept of mobility and explores all aspects of travel behaviour, of people and goods, and the infrastructure needs to serve these, leading to a balanced set of policy proposals. This volume, compiled by an internationally eminent team of researchers, is essential reading for all those wanting a balanced and objective analysis of this critical topic.' --Roger Vickerman, University of Kent, UK'`A unique assemblage of papers by top international experts that together cover every aspect of the transport-mobility-environment relationship - today's central issue for transport planners worldwide.' --Sir Peter Hall, University College London, UK'The book is an excellent piece of work. It draws on cutting-edge knowledge on all issues related to the problems of the presently high carbon mobility system and draws on knowledge about ways to achieve low carbon mobility. It is highly recommendable for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as for anyone interested to know more about the intractable problems embedded in a high carbon mobility system.' --Erling Holden, Journal of Environmental Policy & PlanningTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisTransport is debated by many, and liberalization processes, transport policy, transport and climate change and increased competition between transport modes are the subject of heated discussion. Smart Transport Networks illustrates that whether concerning road, water, rail or air, knowledge on the structure of transport markets is crucial in order to tackle transport issues. The book therefore explores key factors concerning the structure of transport markets, their environmental impact, and questions why decision makers often fail to tackle transport-related problems.Three of the key factors that underpin the relationship between transport and society are analyzed in detail from a variety of perspectives, each with an empirical focus: market structure and the allocation mechanisms at work; sustainability, encompassing the characteristics of the physical environment, the availability of natural resources and the effects of transport activities; and decision making, detailing transport policy and attempts to change transport systems. Practical guidelines on how to effectively deal with complex transport issues are also presented.This book will prove an important resource read for academics, researchers, and students with an interest in economics - particularly transport and public sector economics, geography and regional and urban studies. Policy makers and planners in the fields of transport, environment and regional planning will also find this book to be an invaluable reference tool.Contributors: B. Benson, K. Button, G. Dane, J.C.

Book SynopsisThis wide-ranging volume offers a balanced look at the benefits as well as the caveats associated with various ICT applications in transport. Addressing transport demand and supply as well as policies affecting both, and combining specific case studies with general conceptualizations, the book makes an important contribution to our understanding - and best deployment - of this complex constellation of relationships between ICT and travel. It will be of great value to researchers and practitioners alike.'- Patricia Mokhtarian, Georgia Institute of Technology, US'Transport is the testbed for many innovations in ICT and this book captures the essence of this fast moving and topical debate. It covers the behavioural implications, the potential impacts on sustainable transport, and the broader public policy issues. The approach is authoritative, matching the technological optimism with more pragmatic realism, and the contributors are smart in stressing both the opportunities and the need to limit the risks, as sustainable transport depends on all systems both societal and technological working together in harmony.'- David Banister, University of Oxford, UK'Again a nice collection of papers from the highly productive NECTAR network! ICT increasingly influences the transport system. This timely book focuses on the relevance of ICT for sustainable transport. Most papers present empirical evidence of impacts of several ICTs based on surveys. The book also discusses the impact of ICT on travel behaviour and user requirements more generally, as well as planning and policy implications, including risks, implementation barriers and ethical issues. A must for researchers, policy makers and planners dealing with the potential contribution of ICT to make society more sustainable!'- Bert van Wee, Delft University of Technology, the NetherlandsAs the importance and value of information increases, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is rapidly evolving and taking centre stage in everyday life in the 21st century. This is particularly evident in the transport sector, where ICT is greatly influencing our mobility and travel choices as well as travel experience. In this context, ICT for Transport examines the opportunities, threats, underlying principles and practical issues faced when deploying ICT for transport applications, especially in the quest to achieve sustainable transport.Focusing on infrastructure, people and processes, the contributors to this book use diverse case studies from around the world to illustrate the challenges faced by academics, practitioners and policy makers alike. The contents and bibliography provide up-to-date knowledge and expertise drawn from state of the art research in Europe, America, Asia and Africa.ICT for Transport is a valuable source of information for those aiming to be at the forefront of the evolving field of ICT for transport. This analysis of the various threats and opportunities will assist them in making more informed decisions about the future use of ICT for transport and for the benefit of society.Contributors include: M.

Book SynopsisIn the last 30 years, most developed nations have corporatized their air navigation service providers, providing significant benefits to the travelling public and national economies. At a time when one of the last holdouts - the United States - is once again discussing the corporatization of its air traffic control system, Dr. Neiva's book presents a thorough analysis of the issues that other countries have had to deal with when they corporatized their systems. This book should not be missed by anyone who wants a detailed study of a very important policy, transportation, and economic topic.'- Jim Burnley, Former US Secretary of Transportation, US'Not every book has the potential to change the world, but this one does. Dr. Neiva's research and analysis of the US experience with respect to air traffic control, and his extensive look at how other countries provide these services, could help make history. The US is now seriously considering major reforms to its air traffic services, and access to objective, thoughtful, and rigorous research like this is essential reading for policy makers and academics alike.'- Joshua Schank, CEO and President, Eno Center for Transportation, DC, US'The changing structure and growth of global aviation has resulted in major challenges for the capacity, organization, and financing of air navigation. Rui Neiva's book presents a thorough review of the governance and performance of air navigation providers worldwide. The use of a variety of economic analyses provides new insights about the drivers of air traffic control performance, including important findings about the effects of commercialization/privatization and the benefits of airspace reform. The book's analysis of productivity across European air navigation service providers is especially well done. The book is an important - and timely - contribution to the future development of aviation infrastructure.'- John Strong, College of William and Mary, USInstitutional Reform of Air Navigation Service Providers deals with the changes that have taken place in this major, technologically progressive industry as many countries moved away from direct provision by the government to forms of corporate or private provision. The author provides an up-to-date institutional and economic analysis of air navigation service providers efforts to reform their governance and funding structures under these changes.The book discusses air navigation service providers in great detail, with a focus on the historical evolution of the industry's institutional and regulatory frameworks as well as the ongoing developments in the industry (e.g. the Single European Sky in Europe and NextGen in the US). The author departs from the more conventional quasi-descriptive analysis by performing economic and econometric analyses of the industry that explicitly include institutional variables, e.g. to explore whether the nature of ownership can be associated with different economic efficiency outcomes. The result is a rigorous assessment of the structures of various air navigation service providers, strengthened by the use of case studies and policy analysis of potential reform.The theme and scope of this book will appeal to anyone interested in the institutional and regulatory history of air navigation service providers, and its accessible approach will appeal to policy-makers and professionals as well as people who are interested, more broadly, in economic regulation.Trade Review‘In the last 30 years, most developed nations have corporatized their air navigation service providers, providing significant benefits to the travelling public and national economies.

Book SynopsisForecasting Urban Travel presents in a non-mathematical way the evolution of methods, models and theories underpinning travel forecasts and policy analysis, from the early urban transportation studies of the 1950s to current applications throughout the urbanized world. From original documents, correspondence and interviews, especially from the United States and the United Kingdom, the authors seek to capture the spirit and problems faced in different eras, as changing information requirements, computing technology and planning objectives conditioned the nature of forecasts.With over 1000 references, the book charts the key ideas relating to land use, travel demand, network costs and flows, and their interactions, from both research and practice to the present states of the art. The authors examine the widening scope and variety of models for analyzing and forecasting personal travel and goods movement, identifying contributions from economics, psychology, geography, regional science, operational research, transportation engineering and mathematics. Finally, they offer their views of the future directions and requirements facing the field.Offering a historical presentation of urban forecasting models covering six decades, accessible to a wide range of students, researchers and planners, this book will be of great interest to undergraduate and graduate students in transportation courses in civil engineering, economics, geography, regional science and planning. Through its discussion of critiques and missed opportunities as travel demand, network and land-use transportation models evolved, the book will also serve as a valuable resource for teachers, academic researchers and practitioners in travel behavior and forecasting.Trade Review’Certainly one of the best books ever on transport modelling. We have been waiting for this sort of book for a long time. Anyone who wants to figure out the reasons why different kinds of transport model have been developed during the last 60 years must read this book. It starts at the beginning round about 1953 and it brings the field up to date to 2015 covering many different approaches to models from aggregative gravitational to activity-based and on to agent-based but covering equilibrium, assignment and a host of policy issues that have directed the field over several generations of models and model-builders.’ -- Spatialcomplexity.info BlogTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisThis book uses the powerful lens of accessibility analysis to answer questions in spatial development, travel behavior, facilities planning, locational efficiency, metropolitan resilience, and more. Its pragmatic and empirical approach - and its bringing together of leading accessibility scholars into a single volume - make it an invaluable reference for scholars and policymakers in the areas of transportation, land use, and public-service provision.'- Jonathan Levine, University of Michigan, US'Efficiency and equity are key issues in accessibility studies. Infrastructure investment should be as economically efficient as possible while ensuring a basic level of accessibility for all social groups and territories. This book is set within the complex relationship between efficiency and equity, providing a number of contributions that reveal the importance of accessibility on regional growth, access to services, house prices, modal choice and transport policies. The authors of these chapters are leading researchers in different disciplines making high level contributions in the field of accessibility. Without a doubt, this book will be very attractive for readers interested in accessibility and transportation.'- Javier Gutiérrez, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, SpainLeading researchers from around the world show, in this volume, the importance of accessibility in contemporary issues such as rural depopulation, investments in public services and public transport, and transport infrastructure investments in Europe. The trade-offs between accessibility, economic development and equity are comprehensively examined, and a variety of approaches to measuring accessibility and equality presented. The book's interdisciplinary contributions also provide different geographical contexts, from the US to various European and developing countries, and cover ex ante and ex post evaluation of transport investment.Improving transport accessibility is a main objective in transport policy and planning in developed and developing countries all over the world. Investment is motivated by the need to develop and/or reduce spatial or social inequalities. However, the economic and equity implications of investments in transport are not straightforward. The concepts of accessibility and equity can be defined and operationalized in many different ways, influencing outcomes and conclusions. Moreover, equity and efficiency goals are often conflicting. Accessibility models not only help to explain spatial and transport patterns in developed and developing countries but are also powerful tools to explain the equity and efficiency impacts of urban and transport policies and projects.This state-of-the-art overview of the accessibility-economic efficiency-equity relationship will appeal to researchers as well as transport and urban planners interested in accessibility issues and transport/regional developments.Contributors: P.R.

Book SynopsisInternational trade has grown rapidly over the past half century, accommodated by the transportation industry through concomitant growth and technological change. But while the connection between transport and trade flows is clear, the academic literature often looks at these two issues separately. This Handbook is unique in pulling together the key insights of each field while highlighting what we know about their intersection and ideas for future research in this relatively unexamined but growing area of study.After presenting the latest data and modeling techniques used to explain global trade patterns, the chapters address directly the core theme of the Handbook: the intersection of international trade and transportation costs. Other key topics examined include trade facilitation, trade networks, and the role of transport costs in offshoring, foreign investment location, and the role of intermediary firms.The Handbook is an excellent primer on the essential concepts and references in international trade and transport for scholars who may have their primary expertise in one of these areas, but are not as familiar with the other. It will also be an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and other researchers who are relatively new to either field.Contributors include: L. Alfaro, S.L.

ZhangTrade Review'In international trade, like in all of economics, we can ask the three classic questions: what is trade, how is it traded, and for whom is it traded? While much research in international trade is devoted to what and for whom, this important volume is devoted to the second question: how are goods traded between countries? Answering that question brings us quickly into issues of infrastructure, logistics, networks, and transport costs, as well as the agents of international trade. This volume will be immensely useful for economists and those in other fields who want to understand how trade actually occurs.' --Robert C.
