Description

As one of the most challenging issues facing the transport sector, the
need for this handbook devoted to the environmental impacts of transport
is clear. It gives full treatment to all aspects of the subject:

- environmental concepts, both physical and economic
- key environmental concerns: global warming, air quality, noise,
safety, amenity, and severance
- the role of fuel sources and new technology in reducing environmental
externalities
- the contribution of each transport sector to energy consumption and
emissions - appraisal, valuation, and impacts of externalities
- institutional and political settings and policies
- the role of environmental legislation
- special topics such as tourism, public attitudes, and gender

Each chapter was specially commissioned from an acknowledged world
expert on the 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 acessible in its content, and
authoritative and international in its authorship, the Handbook of
Transport and the Environment will be the definitive reference work on
this important subject.

Audience

For researchers, teachers, students, practitioners, and policymakers
interested in the interactions between transport and the environment.
