Book Description
L'ouvrage est un document inédit sur les petits trains de nos provinces aujourd'hui disparus, mais restés dans la mémoire collective. De 1948 à la fin des années soixante, le livre explore des réseaux antiques où roule encore du matériel désuet. Promis à la disparition, certains ont survécu du fait de la seconde guerre mondiale, d'autres grâce à une timide modernisation. Ancrés dans le paysage français, les " tortillards " rythment la vie des villages et permettent au photographe, François Fontaine, de les immortaliser dans une ambiance " vieille France ". Le France des trains de campagne est la suite logique de l'ouvrage paru en 2013, La France des lignes oubliées.

Book Description
The technological revolution linked to high speed rail (HSR) has been accompanied by myths and claims about its contribution to society and the economy. Although HSR is unquestionably a technological advance that has become a symbol of modernity, this review and analysis of the international experiences shows that the conditions necessary to have a positive impact, economically, socially and environmentally, are enormously restrictive. The Economics and Politics of High Speed Rail: Lessons from Experiences Abroad, by Daniel Albalate and Germà Bel, introduces the main questions policy makers and scholars should examine when considering and studying HSR implementation, with particular emphasis on the US’s recent interest in this technology and possible application in California. Albalate and Bel then review the experiences of the most significant implementations of HSR around the globe. This in-depth international perspective includes chapters on the pioneers of HSR (Japan and France), the European followers (Germany, Spain and Italy), as well as Asian experiences in China, Taiwan, and Korea. Albalate and Bel’s study provides a clear distinction between the myths and realities associated with this transportation innovation. Among the most relevant findings, this study highlights how HSR projects that do not satisfy highly restrictive conditions—on mobility patterns, measured costs, and economically rational designs—that make it desirable have been the source of huge financial debacles and the economic failure of HSR in most cases, which result in unfortunate consequences for taxpayers. The Economics and Politics of High Speed Rail is a rigorous investigation of the economic and political challenges and ramifications of implementing new public transportation technology.
