Summary

"No Way to Go is an edited collection of papers that discuss the links between transport disadvantage and its impacts on social exclusion in Australia. The book begins by exploring the global context for the Australian experience, with a series of papers from international contributors. In the second section, case studies based on recent empirical research examine the situation from the perspectives of different marginalised groups in Australian society. The book concludes by examining the implications for Australian social and transport policy."--ePress website.
