Transport is very important for the economy and our welfare. However transport also causes a lot of problems including air pollution. Such problems should be taken into account when making decisions. A prerequisite for doing so is that the impacts are known quantitatively measured and allocated to the different activities in transport. Furthermore they should be transformed into monetary units to be used as a basis for cost-benefit analyses or as an aid for setting taxes and charges that reflect the external costs. This book describes a methodology for calculating impacts of transport activities and external costs caused by air pollution and presents numerous applications of this methodology for different transport technologies locations and policy case studies. The approach has been developed and results have been calculated within the research project ExternE Core/Transport financed to a large extent by the European Commission Directorate General Research. We would like to thank especially Pierre Vallette and Pekka Jarviletho from the EC for their advice and support. A considerable number of experts with expertise in the different disciplines of this highly interdisciplinary work contributed to this book. The editors would like to thank the authors (see list on p. XV) for their contributions; it is especially remarkable that the authors helped to make this book an integrated whole instead of a number of independent contributions.

In Online Education: Global Questions Local Answers 24 college educators focus on the most important questions to be addressed by all scholar-teachers and administrators committed to developing high-quality online education programs. We describe these questions as global because they transcend the particular situations of individual institutions. They are questions that everyone involved in online education needs to address: What are the issues to consider when first developing and then sustaining an online education program? How do we create interactive pedagogically sound online courses and classroom communities? How should we monitor and assess the quality of online courses and programs? And how should recent developments and innovations in online education cause us to reexamine our roles and responsibilities as educators in technical communication?While these global questions affect all of us in one way or another they demand different local answers such as those presented by the contributors to this text. Readers will need to consider which of these local answers might apply to their own situations and how these answers might need to be adapted to reflect the particular needs of their own institutions.
