Administration, Elements of Transport, by R. W. Faulks is essential reading. When the student of goods vehicle operation comes against the chapters on air, rail or sea, he cannot afford to cast the book aside. If he does so he will lose much of the valuable background essential for his understanding of transport generally.
This book, however, is not for the student alone but might well be read by middle and higher management—if only to prevent them becoming too insular. While some of the content may be considered of little real value in the transport concept of the Seventies, for example the paragraph on the street tramway, nevertheless the 14 chapters take a very broad look at every aspect of transport and will, I am sure, stimulate interest in fields other than those with which the reader is personally concerned. The second edition of Elements of Transport has just been published by Ian Allan, Terminal House, Shepperton,
Middx., at 50s. J.P.B.S.
