Gudmundsson et al. have written a text aimed at graduate-level students and transportation industry personnel to consider the myriad ways in which to apply more sustainable principles to transportation policies and practices. ... This thoughtful, excellently planned book may be written for transportation practitioners and transit students, but the lessons within it should matter to everyone who drives a car, or takes a bus, train, or plane.
