Mobilities: New Perspectives on Transport and Society (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Grieco, Margaret

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together the leading authors currently working at the intersection of social sciences and transport science and offers rich consideration of the issues, practices and structures of multiple mobilities. It seeks to not only draw attention to many new areas of research and investigation relating to mobile lives, but also to point to new theories and methods by which such lives have to be researched and examined, theories and methods which contributors here are themselves developing and enhancing.
