This incisive and highly readable book offers a broad range of perspectives, directions, and policy options for transportation planners and political practitioners. Dunn compares various modes of American transportation with those of three western European countries that have historically been faced with greater resource constraints in terms of energy use, environmental and land-use controls, and financial commitments. Specifically, the piecemeal fashion in which the railroads of France were brought under public ownership is compared with the similar&-but lagging&-trend in the United States from private ownership to federal control; the relative success of mass transit in West Germany is contrasted with the dismal decline of mass transit in American urban conglomerates; and &"the rise and fall of the road fund&" in Britain is examined both on its own terms and in terms of the perspective it accords in recounting the American experience in highway building. In addition, a chapter on the automobile probes the mechanisms that Europeans have applied to bring the runaway automotive culture under a reasonable degree of control, mechanisms that are in a sense being tested for Americans against that time when they fully face up to the necessity of putting the car in its proper place in the national lifestyle. A final chapter summarizes the author's transatlantic contrasts and completes his demonstration of the importance of cultural and institutional factors in shaping the &"paradigms of public choice.&" He concludes that resource constraints are moving America toward a more European-like need for social efficiency in transportation, and offers some fundamental policy principles based on the European experience to guide the transition.

The present book is the outcome of the completion of 150 years of the occurrence of the Revolt of 1857 which had given a big jolt to the British foundation. British had exploited India and Indians at its maximum in a varied way which had sour the seed of intense discontent among the people of India and soldiers which proved great fatal for the British. The revolt at Meerut took place on May 10, 1857. Though at Lucknow the Revolt commenced in May 1857, still there was discontentment among the Indian troops stationed there which was explicit from some of the sporadic incidents which took place earlier. In April, there was trouble between the Indian soldiers of the 48th Native Infantry Regiment when Dr. Wells, the Surgeon of the Infantry, applied to his mouth a bottle of carminative mixture taken from the regimental hospital. When this news approached the Indian soldiers, they thought that this action of the surgeon was against their religious faith. They started to discard the medicines of their regimental hospital. When this news approached Colonel Palmer, he assembled the Indian officers and soldiers and destroyed that bottle of medicine. He also rebuked Dr. Wells. Despite this, one night, the house of Dr. Wells was set on fire. Though Dr. Wells escaped, still it was the general feeling that the incendiaries belong to the 48th N.I. This incident exhibits that there was a definite sense of hostility in the minds of the Indian soldiers because of caste and religion. The Revolt of 1857 in which innumerable numbers of revolutionaries Bahadur Shah Zafar, Zeenat Mahal, Mirza Sultan, Nana Saheb, Begum Hazrat Mahal, Ganga Singh, Tantya Tope, Kunwar Singh, Bakht Khan, Yusuf Khan, Ranjit Singh, Lakshmi Bai etc. had sacrificed their lives. The book has been brought in view of understanding the real nature of the Revolt of 1857. It is of great significance for the researchers, students and teachers as well. Contents • Preface • The Great Revolt of 1857 • Rise of the Great Revolt • Indian Army and origin of Mutiny • Lost of Delhi to the British • Disloyals During Revolt • Famous Protagonists of 1857 Revolt • Prominent Revolt Papers

An expertly woven history and critique of the ideas shaping transportation in the United States. Excruciating traffic jams. Struggling transit agencies. An epidemic of pedestrian fatalities. It is clear that transportation is not working in the United States and that we need to rethink our approach. In Shifting Gears, Susan Handy provides an in-depth history of the ideas embedded in American transportation policy and the emergence of new ways of thinking that could give us better transportation options. Weaving in bits of her own personal narrative, Handy gives readers a deeper and clearer understanding of our transportation system and the roots of its successes and failures. Handy covers the myriad costs of car ownership, the futility of expanding highways, and the misplaced faith in technological innovation. She offers new ideas and strategies that can improve the health of our car-centric transportation system—most crucially, the idea that communities across the country must create an array of choices for daily travel. Shifting Gears asserts that a diverse transportation ecosystem is essential for creating more just, sustainable communities, but getting there will take a dramatic shift in how we think about transportation.

Addressing the question of why the Industrial Revolution occurred first in England, Rick Szostak demonstrates the crucial role played by the development of a nation-wide network of land and water transport. He rejects revisionist arguments that downplay the significance of transportation to the Industrial Revolution, underrate the amplitude and influence of the English Industrial Revolution, and deny French economic retardation.

This fascinating book, based on extensive archival research in Britain and India, examines why mutineer-rebels chose to attack prisons and release prisoners, discusses the impact of the destruction of the jails on British penal policy in mainland India, considers the relationship between India and its penal settlements in Southeast Asia, re-examines Britain’s decision to settle the Andaman Islands as a penal colony in 1858 and re-evaluates the experiences of mutineer-rebel convicts there. This book makes an important contribution to histories of the mutiny-rebellion, British colonial South Asia, British expansion in the Indian Ocean and incarceration and transportation.
