  Each title in this series examines a topic common to the whole of Europe. Information is given on such aspects as the environment, industry or tourism, and the similarities and contrasts between Eastern and Western Europe are discussed, as well as the continent's place in the world as a whole. Case studies are provided throughout. This volume focuses on transport policies. In Europe today, countries are being brought ever closer together by improved transport links and shorter travel times. After a brief overview of the history of its subject, the book explores the advantages and disadvantages of transport by road, rail, air and water, and considers such aspects as relative costs and environmental consequences.
