In the more developed world, most people take mobility for granted. Rapid movement of people and goods is vital to the success of modern economies, and many of us cannot imagine life without cars, believing that they offer more freedom, privacy and comfort than any other form of transport. But, as Transportation shows, these apparent advantages come at an ever higher cost. As the number of motor vehicles on the world's roads rises, so do the pollutants they emit. These pollutants contribute to global warming, causing damaging climate change, and they affect human health. There is also the problem of increasing congestion. In the end, if the volume of traffic continues to grow, we will find ourselves completely gridlocked. In this timely book, Rob Bowden discusses the benefits and disadvantages of various forms of road, rail, air and sea transportation. Finally, he argues that we need to start making different transportation choices, for the sake of our communities, our health, and the future of our planet. Opposing viewpoints are given throughout to provide opportunities for discussion and debate.

children's,children's books,cultural studies,geography and cultures,sociology,9 - 12 years, Over the last fifty years the world's population has more than doubled. According to experts, our ever-increasing demands will eventually exhaust the earth's supplies of fuel, water and food. Other experts argue that, as our numbers rise, scientists will develop new ways to sustain the human race without harming the environment. "An Overcrowded World?" investigates how and why the population is growing so fast, the pressure on resources, the effects on wildlife and habitats, food distribution, living spaces and urbanization, migration and refugees and suggests ways of controlling growth. Opposing viewpoints are given throughout to provide opportunities for discussion and debate.
