Book Description
El presente libro ofrece de manera equilibrada las diversas perspectivas, enfoques y métodos de análisis existentes en el seno de la Geografía de los Transportes, al tiempo que hace comprender los retos actuales de esta disciplina y su importancia al lado de otras áreas de la Geografía Humana. Grande es la diversidad de temas que estructuran actualmente el cuerpo teórico y metodológico de la Geografía del Transporte y ello se corresponde con uno de sus atributos más importantes, la multidisciplinariedad. Converge con los métodos y técnicas propios de otras disciplinas como la economía, las matemáticas, la demografía o la planificación. Los contenidos de este libro reflejan los grandes temas de actualidad en la Geografía de los Transportes. Se analizan las instituciones europeas en materia de transportes y los documentos programáticos más importantes. Uno de los temas más relevantes es la interconectividad de las redes. También se analizan las políticas de transporte en los países en vías de desarrollo.

Book Description
South America is an area of fascination and study for geographers and other scholars from around the world, and its land and people have played important roles in the discovery and distribution of civilizations, resources, and nations for millennia. The region has long stimulated a large amount of research across the many subdisciplines of geography, and Thomas A. Rumney collects, organizes, and presents as many scholarly publications as possible in The Geography of South America: A Scholarly Guide and Bibliography. Every South American nation is included: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Surinam, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Beginning with an overview of the region as a whole, successive chapters, one per nation, are divided by specific subdisciplines of geography: cultural, social, economic, historical, physical and environmental, political, and urban. Each section is then divided by document type: atlases, books, book chapters, articles from scholarly journals, master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations. Although the majority of entries focus on English-language works, selected entries written in Spanish, French, German, and other languages are also included (with the entry titles translated into English and noted accordingly).

Book Description
We all know that networks are fundamental prerequisites for prosperity and production. Transportation and communication are indispensible to society, they are the elements which bind all economic systems together. Without networks and communica tion all social and economic life will be reduced to isolated phenomena. Therefore, transportation can't be assessed in the same way as other services. A smoothly functioning system of communications is also a prerequistite for social and economic integration between separate geographical regions. The modernization of the infrastructure is therefore an urgent task and a precondition for carrying out the whole of Europe's ambitious political, economic and social agenda. Since the need for communication and transportation does not know any national borders, the functioning of the networks needs to be adopted to this new economic and political geography. Congestions of cities, highways, railroads, airways and tele communications must be tackled, if precious working, commuting and leisure time is not to be wasted and heavy burdens on the environment avoided. European traffic, is for example, expected to double within the next twenty years. In certain transport modes the growth is expected to be even faster - air passenger transport doubled in 10 years and goods transport on roads doubled in 15 years.
