European Transport Policy and Sustainable Mobility
It is now widely accepted that transport is becoming increasingly unsustainable and that strong policy intervention is required to reduce both the growth in transport demand and the environmental costs of transport.

It both summaries the development of EU transport policy and presents a critique. The policy context is widened to include the global changes taking place in economics, society and technology. It develops new methodologies for policy making for the next 25 years.

Preserved partly by the inhabitants' continuous use of chalk for floors and forecourts and subsequently covered by accumulating layers of sand or clay, large amounts of bones, bone tools, ceramics, metal objects, macrofossils, and many other materials have now been excavated and analysed. This work was done by a small team consisting of an archaeologist, a zoologist, and a couple of experts in ...

Britten's Peter Grimes
Britten's opera Peter Grimes is based on George Crabbe's horrifying poem The Borough about early 19th century Aldeburgh, a North Sea fishing town in East Anglia. Its premiere at Sadlers Wells in 1945, shortly after VE Day, was a landmark moment in British operatic history.

Britten and Pears, together with Montagu Slater, a communist journalist, created the libretto.Grimes, a fisherman and sadistic child abuser, is a loner longing for social acceptance, and the wealth to marry the retired schoolmistress Ellen Orford. Britten, a homosexual whose circle included E.M. Forster and Chris...
