Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"In this volume, the interdependence between road and rail transport is investigated,
providing a fascinating reappraisal of the complex and shifting nature of European
transportation over the last hundred years. The first half the collection examines
how railway companies reacted to increasing competition from road transport. The second
part focuses on road mobility, a key success story of the twentieth century"--Provided
