These developments effect the entire lifecycle, from the moment a customer enters a dealership to examine a prospective vehicle, to the driving experience during the vehicle lifecycle, and the interaction with other road users and facilities in pl
Research on driver behaviour has clearly demonstrated that the goals and motivations a driver brings to the driving task are important determinants for driver behaviour. The objective of the book, and of the conference on which it is based, is to describe and discuss recent advances in the study of driving behaviour and driver training. It bridges the gap between practitioners in road safety, and theoreticians investigating driving behaviour, from a number of different perspectives and related disciplines. The book is timely in its aim of defining new approaches to driver training methodology based on decades of empirical research on driver behaviour. The contributing road safety researchers and professionals consider the kinds of methods that are effective in teaching drivers the higher-level skills needed to be a safe competent driver. The readership includes road safety researchers from a variety of different academic backgrounds, senior practitioners in the field from regulatory authorities and professional driver training organisations such as the police service, and private and public sector personnel who are concerned with improving road safety.

Travel, Space, Architecture defines a new theoretical territory in architectural and urban scholarship that frames the processes of spatial production through the notion of travel. By aligning architectural thinking with current critical theory debates, this book explores whether dissociating culture from place and identity, and detaching the idea of architecture from both, can reframe our understanding of spatial and architectural practices. The book presents seventeen key case studies from a diverse range of perspectives including historical, theoretical, and praxis-based, and range from interrogations of architectural travel and notions of belonging and nationhood to challenging established geopolitical hierarchies.

«Con la quindicesima scelta nel draft NBA 2013, i Milwaukee Bucks scelgono... Giannis Antetokounmpo! Da Atene, Grecia. La sua ultima squadra è stata il Filathlitikos.» Quando il commissioner della NBA David Stern pronuncia queste parole, il 27 giugno 2013 al Barclays Center di Brooklyn, New York, molti sono tentati di pensare che la parabola di Giannis Antetokounmpo, un diciottenne di origini nigeriane costretto a vivere la sua infanzia da clandestino a Sepolia, quartiere popolare della periferia nordoccidentale di Atene, sia giunta a un lieto fine, a una chiusura del cerchio. Ma è solo l'inizio. Il punto di partenza, e non di arrivo, della vicenda di uno dei giocatori più dominanti che...
