Mobility by Peter Adey

Mobility by Peter Adey

Explains the key theories and writings that surround mobility. This book traces out the concept of mobility as a key idea within the discipline of geography as well as subject areas from the wider arts and social sciences. It develops an understanding of mobility as a relationship through which the world is lived and understood.

"A central strength of this book is its emphasis on the need for the study of mobilities to be a multidisciplinary exerciseIt is not often that I am tempted to read a book from cover to cover in a single day, but this has proved to be one such occasion." – Professor A. G. Champion, Newcastle University, UK

"Mobilities is a wonderful introduction to the growing literature within human geography, sociology, urban studies, and anthropology that takes seriously the fact that we live in a world that is a constant hum of motion. This is a book that provides a thorough overview of the recent `mobility-turn’ in the social sciences, a book that is both highly readable and intellectually challenging." – Dr. Alan Latham, University College London, UK

Peter Adey is Lecturer in Cultural Geography at Keele University. His research interests concern the intersecting cultures of mobility, security, design and air-travel. His next book Aerial Geographies is forthcoming in 2010.
