Summary

This book provides a detailed run-through of the economics of rail systems. Demand supply of transport is very useful tool for determining the economic benefits of any rail system, and it is discussed in detail.  
 Externalities are common in the assessment of any rail system. Rail systems provide so many benefits to any society, and all benefits need to be counted to provide a full and fair appraisal of the worth of a rail system.  
Rail systems are very energy efficient which is very attractive for governments and communities. Carbon emissions for rail systems are low, both for freight and for passenger trains. Building rail systems to replace vehicle traffic is a very effective way to reduce the emissions of a country or city. 
This book discusses tourist rail systems, and their economics. Tourism is a very important part of most economics, and rail systems have an important role to play in providing transport. In some cases rail systems are constructed as tourist attractions, with strong appeal and a new experience provided.

    Camille Pissarro was a pivotal figure of Impressionism, perhaps the world’s most famous art movement. He also tackled different forms of Neoimpressionism, while maintaining very personal characteristics in his art all throughout his life. A key figure in the Impressionist movement and a participant in every one of their exhibitions, Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) was considered the patriarch of the group. Born in the Danish West Indies, he travelled to Venezuela, and studied with Corot in France, who influencedhis early works and who triggered his passion to paint outdoors. His style evolved as he progressed in life, influenced too by the debateswith his fellow-painters.After the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, he moved to England, but his style of painting, which was a forerunnerof the"Impressionism", did not do very well.Like Degas, Pissarro was a great draughtsman. His representations of rural and urban life are often closely intertwined with his social concerns and anarchist beliefs. A quintessential artist ahead of his time, Pissaro sold very few works during his lifetime.
