Goetz A.R. - The Geographies of Air Transport

THE GEOGRAPHIES OF AIR TRANSPORT

The Geographies of Air Transport provides a timely and incisive overview of the socio-economic, cultural and environmental ramifications of commercial aviation and aeromobility. An international array of contributors expertly interweave theoretical and empirical perspectives to provide a global analysis of this key industry.

Brian Graham, University of Ulster, UK

The Geographies of Air Transport is a significant work, with an assemblage of well-respected authors covering the comprehensive landscape of aviation geography. Commercial aviation is evolving at nearly jet speed, and this book explains and analyzes historical and contemporary developments with clarity and intelligence.

Paul Stephen Dempsey, McGill University, Canada

This seminal text provides a truly original and global perspective on the key developments which have occurred in air transportation in the most dynamic period of contemporary globalization and societal change. The world experts assembled not only offer new and unique insights into commercial aviation, but also present case studies from all regions of the globe, including the emerging markets. This book is a must read for all scholars of aviation and policy, and the movers and the shakers of the air transportation industry itself!

Jonathan V. Beaverstock, University of Bristol, UK

Series Editors: Richard Knowles, University of Salford, UK and Markus Hesse, Universit du Luxembourg and on behalf of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) Transport Geography Research Group (TGRG).

The inception of this series marks a major resurgence of geographical research into transport and mobility. Reflecting the dynamic relationships between socio-spatial behaviour and change, it acts as a forum for cutting-edge research into transport and mobility, and for innovative and decisive debates on the formulation and repercussions of transport policy making.
