"""This book provides an invaluable study of the politics of UK airport policy, and forensically illustrates the intractable problems for government in managing such a controversial policy process."" Geoff Dudley, University of Oxford ""Griggs and Howarth brilliantly explicate the detrimental consequences of air travel. Starting with local airport expansion, they critically extend the analysis to the destructive implications for society generally, constructively concluding with a manifesto for the greening of aviation."" Frank Fischer, Humboldt University of Berlin"
