First sentence: Many trace the dawn of the modern civil rights movement in the United States to events that transpired on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, on December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks refused an order from a municipal bus driver to give up her seat to a white man.
Description: "In this fully revised and restructural third edition, leading geographers and urban planners present the foundational concepts and methodological tools that readers need to understand and engage with today's pressing policy issues. Updated throughout with a heightened emphasis on policy - and featuring over 100 maps, charts, and photographs - this edition contains new chapters on intercity travel and transportation finance. In addition, a new concluding chapter integrates key themes and provides some practical approaches to solving urban transportation problems."--BOOK JACKET.
