An academic and policy debate has been running in recent decades on whether and to what extent travel behavior is influenced by the built environment. This dissertation addresses the influence on daily travel distance, chaining behavior, car ownership and car commuting. As cars are the dominant mode of transport, car travel received most attention. The analyses were based on a comprehensive dataset collected in the North Wing of the Randstad in the Netherlands. The study findings indicate that a more compact urban structure reduces car use. However, the effects are small. One important lesson is that behavioral mechanisms are never simple but invariably elicit compensation. The challenge facing planners is to design cities and neighborhoods that make it easier to drive less and that are attractive to live in.

reviewed Built Environment and Car Travel: Analyses of Interdependencies on April 22, 2012 Built Environment and Car Travel
An interesting short history of the Mercator projection, as well as a brief critique of the Peters projection, which coincidentally was just selected as the official map projection for the Boston (?) public school system.
I've been reading a couple other Monmonier books (How to Lie with Maps, From Squaw Tit to Whorehouse Meadow: How Maps Name, Claim and Inflame) and I appreciate his outspoken devotion to clear and concise writing. He doesn't try to be obtuse--he communicates his thoughts clearly, something that doesn't always happen, especially in academic writing. The author is obviously opinionated, but he states clearly why. I would recommend it for anyone interested in geographic history, or even anyone curious about why world maps look the way that they do.
