Summary

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.

    Do you and your partner have the same arguments over and over again?  
  
Have you been abused or threatened with violence by someone who is supposed to love you? 
  
Does your significant other call you crazy or make you think you're losing your mind? 
  
These are just a few questions you may identify with if you are in a toxic relationship or are heading towards one. Maybe you're already married or just started dating someone new. You may be looking and waiting for the right person to show up. Regardless of your situation, this book is for you! 
In this book, you will discover red flags that your date, partner, or spouse may reveal. Recognizing red flags can help you stop a relationship before it wrecks your life. Walking away is easier early in the relationship, but leaving an abusive or highly toxic relationship is extremely important no matter how long you have been together. 
  
This book aims to unveil toxic behaviors in relationships. Not every red flag is a deal-breaker, especially if your partner is willing to communicate and work with you to improve the situation - but ignoring red flags can be downright dangerous, so this book will show you some troubling behaviors that should set off an alarm. Expert advice and research-backed data will help you to not ignore red flags.

    John Stuart Mill - A Very Short...

    John Stuart Mill (1806-73) is widely regarded as the leading liberal philosopher, economist, and political theorist of nineteenth century Britain. In his lifetime he was best known for his System of Logic (1843) and the Principles of Political Economy (1848). Today Mill is chiefly identified with On Liberty (1859), perhaps the definitive text of modern liberal statement of its subject, and probably the single most important work of modern political thought. Mill was also the first major male feminist thinker of the period (author of The Subjection of Women, 1869), and the first, as an MP, to introduce a bill for female enfranchisement before Parliament. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction offers a brief survey of the life and key ideas of this most influential Victorian British writer. Moving chronologically, Gregory Claeys outlines the philosophical background out of which Mill developed, chiefly through the ideas of Jeremy Bentham and James Mill. He demonstrates how Mill's personal life, especially his 'mental crisis' of 1827, and his relationship with Harriet Taylor, were integral to his intellectual development. Throughout Claeys considers Mill's key works set within the context of his lesser writings and correspondence, and discusses the more controversial aspects of his thought concerning religion, secularism, and birth control.

    From the co-author of Tell Me Who You Are and a TED speaker, a book that reveals the importance of friendship as a tool of social justice. Friendship is good for your health. Studies show that loneliness is as deadly as smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. Still, we are not taught how to be good friends to one another. We cancel plans, lose touch, blame technology, and neglect our non-romantic loved ones. In Good Friends, author Priya Vulchi explores friendships across history, continents, and identities to show how friendship can open up new levels of joy and community in your life. What is the meaning of friendship, these miraculous bonds with once-strangers? How do you begin friendships? End them? Keep them vibrant? For answers, Vulchi weaves through Western classical thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero, and uncovers the private moments between good friends like James Baldwin, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Yuri Kochiyama, Toni Morrison, and June Jordan. Friendship, she shows, has ripple effects beyond just any two friends; it awakens solidarity and changes in the world.  Through her inspiring and impassioned prose, Vulchi entirely reimagines our platonic ties, revealing that friendship, in the right hands, is a brilliant act of love and resistance. Intimate and engaging, Good Friends offers a resounding cry that friendship is not only vital for our own individual well-being, but for humanity itself. It invites you to be inspired not just by what people do but how people love. It invites you to look at your friends differently and enter a dazzlingly fresh philosophy of human connection.
