A fully revised edition of a seminal text from a world class authority in tourism. Each chapter has been significantly updated to include fresh data, examples and critical theory and three entirely new chapters have been added. A modern classic.

Bringing together the authors working at the intersection of social science and transport science, this offers closer consideration of the issues, practices and structures of multiple mobilities. It draws attention to many areas of research and investigation relating to mobile lives.

Issues of movement - of people, things, information and ideas - are central to people's lives and to most organisations.
