New book edition Transport Economics

Edition 7 of Transport Economics is out. The purpose of the present textbook goes beyond what current books offer: it combines four different perspectives in a single volume to provide a general overview; the reader can restrict himself to whatever part he finds to be of particular interest; 
it allows the reader to choose whether or not to examine the mathematical techniques presented: those who wish can skip the formulas and mathematical passages and still retain an interesting and coherent text.
