Roads, Runways and Resistance by Steve Melia

Roads, Runways and Resistance by Steve Melia

Chronicling 30 years of public protest, government U-turns and environmental destruction, this is the story of Britain's transport policy

'Insightful and full of wonderful colour and incident - this is probably the best dissection of an 'environmental' movement that I have read'

-- Charles Secrett, former head of Friends of the Earth England

'As a movement for social change it is important that we understand our own historyThis is a compelling read.'

-- Gail Bradbrook, Co-Founder of Extinction Rebellion

'Entertainingly lifts the lid on the real-world to-ing and fro-ing of policy making in what is often a hotly - and sometimes a bitterly - contested environment'

-- Steve Gooding, Director of the RAC Foundation

'I couldn't put it down until I'd read it right to the end. And even then I wanted more. It's fascinating, important, and very well-informed'

-- Professor Phil Goodwin, Emeritus Professor of Transport Policy at UCL
