Download or read book Encyclopedia of Transportation written by Mark Garrett and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 2000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing transportation through the lens of current social, economic, and policy aspects, this four-volume reference work explores the topic of transportation across multiple disciplines within the social sciences and related areas, including geography, public policy, business, and economics. The book’s articles, all written by experts in the field, seek to answer such questions as: What has been the legacy, not just economically but politically and socially as well, of President Eisenhower’s modern interstate highway system in America? With that system and the infrastructure that supports it now in a state of decline and decay, what’s the best path for the future at a time of enormous fiscal constraints? Should California politicians plunge ahead with plans for a high-speed rail that every expert says—despite the allure—will go largely unused and will never pay back the massive investment while at this very moment potholes go unfilled all across the state? What path is best for emerging countries to keep pace with dramatic economic growth for their part? What are the social and financial costs of gridlock in our cities? Features: Approximately 675 signed articles authored by prominent scholars are arranged in A-to-Z fashion and conclude with Further Readings and cross references. A Chronology helps readers put individual events into historical context; a Reader’s Guide organizes entries by broad topical or thematic areas; a detailed index helps users quickly locate entries of most immediate interest; and a Resource Guide provides a list of journals, books, and associations and their websites. While articles were written to avoid jargon as much as possible, a Glossary provides quick definitions of technical terms. To ensure full, well-rounded coverage of the field, the General Editor with expertise in urban planning, public policy, and the environment worked alongside a Consulting Editor with a background in Civil Engineering. The index, Reader’s Guide, and cross references combine for thorough search-and-browse capabilities in the electronic edition. Available in both print and electronic formats, Encyclopedia of Transportation is an ideal reference for libraries and those who want to explore the issues that surround transportation in the United States and around the world.

Download or read book Project CONTEST written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Home Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009-07-07 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the ninth report of the Home Affairs Committee (HCP 212, session 2008-09, ISBN 9780215539731) and examines Project CONTEST, the Government's counter-terrorism strategy. Project CONTEST was first developed in 2003 as a response to the emerging terrorist threat in the aftermath of the attacks in New York and Washington DC, in September 2001. A revised version of CONTEST was published on 24th March 2009. CONTEST has four strands: Pursue, Prevent, Protect and Prepare, and responsibility for CONTEST lies with the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism (OSCT), part of the Home Office. The Committee commends the dedication and professionalism of the staff and approves of the more open nature in explaining CONTEST to the public. The Committee believes though that the Government could go further by outlining more of the sucesses of the counter-terrorism operations. However, the Transport for London network remains vulnerable to terrorism, as well as the 2012 Olympics, with the Committee seeing a safe and secure Games as a litmus test for the Government's counter-terrorism strategy.
