Over the past fifteen years or so, there has been a widespread and increasing fascination with issues of mobility across the social sciences and humanities. Of course, geographers have always had an interest in mobility, but as yet have not viewed this in the same 'mobility turn' as in other disciplines where it has been used to critique the standard approaches to the subjects. This edited volume brings leading academics to provide a revitalised 'geography of Mobilities' informed by this wider 'mobility turn'. It makes connections between the seemingly disparate sub-disciplinary worlds such as migration, transport and tourism, suggesting that each has much to learn from each other through the ontological and epistemological concern for mobility. The book is divided into three sections. The first focuses on Mobile Practices - the experience and performance of mobility as something that is done, ranging from walking to flying. The second section examines mobile spaces; relatively fixed locales which enable mobility to occur such as roads, bridges and airports. The final section deals with mobile subjects, which includes tourist, refugee, commuter and migrant.
