Key Benefit: This comprehensive overview of the entire field of transport geography explores both institutional and analytical approaches to both intra- and inter-urban transport and relates them throughout with contemporary examples. Key Topics: Describes the historical development of U.S. transportation and selected institutional aspects in the context of some basic concepts and themes in transportation geography.
