Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The growth of road transport poses one of the greatest current threats to the environment. The authors of this book, all holding influential positions in the areas of transport, land use, and the environment in the UK, assess the problemns and offer challenging ideas for the way forward.
MoreLong description:
Road traffic is expected to double by the year 2025. Everybody agrees that growth of this order is unsustainable, whether in terms of atmospheric pollution or of available road space. Unless the onward march of motor car and lorry can be checked, or atleast slowed, a small, crowded island such as Britain faces an intolerable decline in air quality and the threat of national gridlock.
In this timely book, leading experts in the fields of transport, land use and the environment analyse the problem and discuss possible solutions to it. Can cars and lorries be made `cleaner'? How can private motorists be weaned from their love affair with the car? Should we build more motorways? Or should road space actually be reduced? How serious is the pollution caused by shipping and aircraft? What will be the impact of the Channel Tunnel? These are some of the questions addressed,
concisely and with authority, in this challenging book.
