Sustainable mobility has become the new imperative for transport policy. There have been a number of policy attempts at sustainable mobility globally, such as the development of more efficient conventional transport technologies, the promotion of efficient and affordable public transport systems and the encouragement of environmental awareness. Such policies have so often been presented as prerequisites for sustainable mobility that they are now taken for granted. But are any of these policies really successful? To what extent do they actually contribute (or fail to contribute) to sustainable mobility? Why do some policies succeed and others fail? Using an interdisciplinary approach which brings together various theories and methodologies, this book tests each of these policies - or hypotheses, as the author sees them - with detailed empirical investigations. It also argues that leisure-time travel should be included in any sustainable mobility policies, as it now accounts for 50 per cent of all annual travel distance in developed countries. The book concludes by suggesting fourteen theses of sustainable mobility for the EU and a new model for future best practice.

Part personal pilgrimage and part manifesto for green travel, join Martin in his search for perfect waves and the soul of surfing.Chasing the sun south from his home in Cornwall, bestselling author and environmental campaigner Martin Dorey follows in the footsteps of the pioneers who discovered Europe’s best waves. On an epic journey of 3400km, Martin and his wife Lizzy take on the ultimate eco surfing adventure – riding eBikes with their surfboards in tow.Powered by patisseries and pastéis de nata, and returning to form after a disastrous knee injury, Martin hopes cycling will give him time to reconnect with his surfing past as he seeks out the stories and oral history that make the surf breaks of littoral Europe so very special.The Way of the Waves is a love letter to wave riding, eco-travel and freedom. It’s a testament to taking your time, understanding that the hills don’t last forever, keeping the pedals turning and hoping that mind, body and soul – and the wheels of the trailer – will go the distance.

Joe Roberts stayed for five months with the Trivedi family in Bangalore, while travelling all over southern India. In Pondicherry he found Rita, a melancholic divorcee banished to an ashram. He saw the great temple at Madurai, watched the snakeboat races at Arunmala, stayed with Syriac Christians at Cochin and was offered heroin in the Jewish cemetery. Wherever he went he met extraordinary people, but these encounters take second place to his ripening friendship with the Trivedi family, and his exact chronicling of their neighbours. As Major Trivedi warned him nothing is as fixed as you think . Three Quarters of a Footprint has long fascinated readers with its gentle, perceptive humour, chilled occasionally by a shadow of menace, as if the spirit and wit of R K Narayan had been reborn in an Englishman.
