Sinopse

Public Transport Issues explores the complex world of urban mobility, focusing on challenges within global public transportation systems. It examines the intersection of urban planning, social equity, and transportation policy, revealing how decisions impact accessibility, especially for vulnerable populations. Interestingly, seemingly well-intentioned urban development policies can inadvertently worsen transportation disparities, leading to negative social, economic, and environmental outcomes. The book analyzes public transportation usage, ridership data, and demographic trends to highlight inequalities in access across different socioeconomic groups. It reveals how factors like service frequency and fare structures affect ridership and passenger satisfaction. Presenting information through a mixed-methods approach, the investigation incorporates quantitative and qualitative data to understand the complexities of transportation planning. Divided into three parts, the book begins with an overview of urban planning principles and their historical evolution, then analyzes public transportation usage statistics, and concludes with evidence-based solutions for improving transport systems. Through data-driven insights, the authors advocate for informed transportation policies that enhance accessibility, reduce congestion, and promote sustainability. This approach distinguishes the book as a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone invested in creating more equitable and sustainable cities.

In this compelling series of lectures, widely esteemed author and professor Thomas F. Madden illustrates how the papacy, the world's oldest institution, gave birth to the West. Since Jesus Christ instructed the foremost of his Apostles, Peter, that he would be the rock upon which Christ would build his church, the papacy has survived the rise and fall of empires while continuing to assert an undeniable influence on world events. The men who have served as pope are a fascinating collection of larger-than-life personages who have touched millions of lives, changed the course of history, and even launched crusades that have altered the balance of global politics. With a learned approach and incisive analysis, Professor Madden not only provides a history of the papacy, but sheds light on the personalities of the popes and the flavor of their pontificates; and at the same time, Madden demonstrates how the papacy has survived the tumultuous cauldron of history and offers a studied commentary on the future of this resilient institution.

Larry the cat, chief mouser of Downing Street, has seen off five Prime Ministers so far and is a national treasure. Though certainly the most famous cat in Britain, Larry is only one of a long line of political animals at the seats of government on both sides of the Atlantic.
From pandas and platypuses to Labradors and lions, animals have long shored up peace between rivals, clinched election campaigns, caused divisions within parties and left their unique calling cards in the halls of power.
Journalist and former special adviser Peter Cardwell traces the political (and not-so-political) adventures of these fascinating pets from Tudor times to No. 10's newest kitten. Drawing on exclusive interviews with Washington and Westminster insiders, including Prime Ministers past and present, Cardwell reveals never-before-heard tales of political pets and offers a fresh insight into the enduring relationships between those in government and their furry friends.
