| Abstract
|
:
|
The central premise of this book is that the car as the dominant mode of travel needs to be problematised. The essays examine a wide range of issues that are central to automobility by situating it within social, economic and political contexts, and by combining social theory, specific case studies and policy-oriented analysis.
