'Overall, this book constitutes an extraordinary manual for postgraduate students in that it offers a significant overview of some of the most outstanding papers since 1970 in the field of transportation and geography. This can be very helpful for students to frame their research into progress in the discipline. In addition, it is also useful for other scholars and those with limited access to academic journals.'
