Reviews

'It provides a clear overview of the field and emphasizes spatial thinking with regard to transport topics, methods, and policies. Its topics and methods can easily be integrated with a variety of quantitative or qualitative methods and assignments, and will povide students with a broad but rigorous introduction to many of the topics and issues in the field of transport geography.' - Journal of Regional Science, Vol 47, No 3, 2007 'This book is a nice synthesis of concepts, methods, and conventional as well as contemporary issues related to transport geography... a comprehensive and valuable introduction to the field of transport geography, which we would recommend for use as a textbook for undergraduate transport students and non-transport professionals.' - Journal of Transport Geography 15 (2007) 'Rodrigue, Comtois and Slack have produced a valuable overview of the challenges facing contemporary transport systems suitable for practitioners in a range of related fields as well as a concise and comprehensive introduction to transport Geography for an undergraduate audience' - Julie Clark, University of Glasgow (2008) 'While written as a geography textbook, it is relevant and of interest to other disciplines as it explains the systems and their uses. Perhaps the most important fact is the oft-forgotten reality that transportation and the movement of goods is intermodal in nature, and while readers can dip in and out of relevant chapters, any analysis of these systems should be considered in their totality not by single mode (or sector).' - Andrew Forbes, Sea Power Centre , Australia
