'I am blown away by the breadth of this Encyclopedia and the insights it offers. Its 230 entries cover every mode I can think of, most of the theoretical concepts I teach in my class, and the hottest topics of the day, including flight shaming, dark kitchens, and drones. It is an invaluable reference for students, professionals, and researchers alike on the connections between transport and society.' -- Susan Handy, University of California, Davis, USA
