Review:

`To the literature in the field of transport economics, this is a most welcome addition. Primarily a textbook on theory, it also contains many references to applied studies. . . . The book is written in a lucid style and consequently is easy to read and understand.' -- J.P. Hanlon, Transport `It is admirably structured, with an introductory chapter placing transport in its economic context and relating transport and location economics.' -- Urban Studies `This book is written in a clear, easy to understand style. It is essential reading for those studying for the Institute's Transport Economics examination as well as for undergraduate and postgraduate students of the subject. . . . The book offers good value for money and is strongly recommended to anyone with an interest in transport economics.' -- M.R. Cairns, Transport ` . . . this book does read very much like a textbook; it explains economic concepts clearly, often in both words and mathematical equations, and identifies their relevance in the transport field . . . Transport Economics does provide a good basis with which to understand most of the issues behind what is one of the fastest moving areas of environmental activity in an area where most books will be out of date almost as soon as they are written anyway.' -- Marcus Enoch, Environmental Politics
