Industrial society is facing the twin challenges of reducing CO2 emissions
to slow global climate change and the prospect of declining oil supplies.
Perl and Gilbert explore past transport revolutions to gain insight into the
nature and dynamics of such profound changes. They also examine our current
transportation systems and then propose organizational and technical
innovations that could ensure effective, secure movement of people and goods
in ways that minimize environmental impacts and make the best use of
renewable sources of energy.

Transport Revolutions is essential reading for professionals in transport,
energy, business, town planning and local and national governments.

Dr. Anthony Perl is Professor of Urban Studies and Director of the Urban
Studies Program at Simon Fraser University. He is also cross appointed as
Professor of Political Science. He has published widely in scholarly
journals and has produced four books.

Dr. Richard Gilbert is an independent consultant focusing on transport and
energy issues with current or recent clients in North America, Europe and
Asia. His several careers have included serving for 15 years as a Toronto
Councillor and teaching at universities in Canada, the US, the UK and

several hundred scholarly and popular articles and dozens of reports,
