About this Item
This book illuminates how transportation has threaded its way through the economic and social fabric of our world. Nearly all of our productive and social processes involve transportation, and better transportation almost always results in their improvement. The central thesis of the book is that better transportation leads to a better world. The second major theme of the book, demonstrated repeatedly in chapter after chapter, is that improving technology is opening the door to significant improvements in nearly all of forms of transportation. The book documents the need for improvement: lower costs of small batch movements, lower trip time for goods and people, and lower overall costs. It describes many ways these improvements might best be achieved. Seller Inventory # 37198
