| Description: |
Road transport accounts for around 25 per cent of the man-made gases that are contributing to global warming. Philippe Thalmann's study explores the manner in which Switzerland and the UK manage freight transport development whilst attempting to mitigate damage to the global environment. |
| Synopsis: |
Through the eye of an economist Thalmann explores 200 years of the dynamics of freight transport development in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. With a strong underlying theme concerned with the impact of government intervention on the efficiency of the freight transport system, Thalmann is able to provide an insight into the differences and similarities of the two countries who are currently the pioneers of this industry and thus make interesting case studies for the rest of Europe. The book provides quality data in graphical form which is accessible to all. Contrary to other works, Thalmann does not focus on road or rail transportation alone but on the whole range of transport modes. At the same time the research remains manageable with its focus on freight transportation while most comparable books deal solely with people transportation. |
