The interactions of humans with their changing environment is the main objective of the study of human geography. The interests of geographers range widely, but their perspective addresses the significance of place, spatiality, and landscape as the settings in which humans live. This outstanding reference work is the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and in-depth coverage of the discipline. Its sources are authoritative and international, and represent a critical overview of the range of issues that human geographers address, of the methods they use in their research, and of the relevance of human geography to the world. Since publication of the International Encyclopedia of Human Geography in 2009 much has changed in the field. Our world is more diverse, multicultural, and multinational. The new edition embraces this diversity by design, and captures the ways in which humans share places, as well as the differences - according to gender, race, nationality, location and other factors - that make people and places different. Questions of, for example, politics, economics, race relations, and migration, are introduced and discussed through a geographical lens. The first edition was celebrated as providing an authoritative overview of all aspects of the field, covering wide-ranging topics across social sciences. The second edition sees an enhanced focus on key areas such as population, nature/environment and social, cultural and political geography. Once again it will assist the audience in their research by providing factual information, historical perspective, theoretical approaches, reviews of the literature, and provocative topical discussion to stimulate creative thinking. Ultimately, this second edition will ensure readers gain a better understanding of the issues of a diverse world via the tools of human geography. The International Encyclopedia of Human Geography, Second Edition, is an easily accessible, interdisciplinary and fully comprehensive source of information in what is a fascinating discipline of social science, and is essential reading for students, researchers, members of the media and public policy analysts interested in this subject. The most up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of human geography in one place Extensive scope and depth of coverage Emphasis on how geographers interact with, understand, and contribute to problem solving in the contemporary world and contemporary social problems Emphasis on how geography is relevant in a social and interdisciplinary context

In an increasingly globalised world, despite reductions in costs and time, transportation has become even more important as a facilitator of economic and human interaction; this is reflected in technical advances in transportation systems, increasing interest in how transportation interacts with society and the need to provide novel approaches to understanding its impacts. This has become particularly acute with the impact that Covid-19 has had on transportation across the world, at local, national and international levels. Encyclopedia of Transportation, Seven Volume Set - containing almost 600 articles - brings a cross-cutting and integrated approach to all aspects of transportation from a variety of interdisciplinary fields including engineering, operations research, economics, geography and sociology in order to understand the changes taking place. Emphasising the interaction between these different aspects of research, it offers new solutions to modern-day problems related to transportation. Each of its nine sections is based around familiar themes, but brings together the views of experts from different disciplinary perspectives. Each section is edited by a subject expert who has commissioned articles from a range of authors representing different disciplines, different parts of the world and different social perspectives. The nine sections are structured around the following themes: Transport Modes; Freight Transport and Logistics; Transport Safety and Security; Transport Economics; Traffic Management; Transport Modelling and Data Management; Transport Policy and Planning; Transport Psychology; Sustainability and Health Issues in Transportation. Some articles provide a technical introduction to a topic whilst others provide a bridge between topics or a more future-oriented view of new research areas or challenges. The end result is a reference work that offers researchers and practitioners new approaches, new ways of thinking and novel solutions to problems. All-encompassing and expertly authored, this outstanding reference work will be essential reading for all students and researchers interested in transportation and its global impact in what is a very uncertain world. Provides a forward looking and integrated approach to transportation Updated with future technological impacts, such as self-driving vehicles, cyber-physical systems and big data analytics Includes comprehensive coverage Presents a worldwide approach, including sets of comparative studies and applications

This new edition of David Forsythe's successful textbook provides an authoritative overview of the place of human rights in international politics in an age of terrorism. The book focuses on four central themes: the resilience of human rights norms, the importance of 'soft' law, the key role of non-governmental organizations, and the changing nature of state sovereignty. Human rights standards are examined according to global, regional, and national levels of analysis with a separate chapter dedicated to transnational corporations. This second edition has been updated to reflect recent events, notably the creation of the ICC and events in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, and new sections have been added on subjects such as the correlation between world conditions and the fate of universal human rights. Containing chapter-by-chapter guides to further reading and discussion questions, this book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of human rights, and their teachers. David Forsythe received the Distinguished Scholar Award for 2007 from the Human Rights Section of the American Political Science Association.
