<p>"It is difficult to do justice to the empirical richness and theoretical innovation which characterize this excellent book in a short review" <em>Shompa Lahiri,Cultural Geographies</em></p><p><em>"</em>I would urge readers across the humanities and social sciences to read this study and benefit from it's many insights and wider theoretical applications" <em>Shompa Lahiri, Cultural Geographies</em></p>

On the Move presents a rich history of one of the key concepts of modern life: mobility. Increasing mobility has been a constant throughout the modern era, evident in mass car ownership, plane travel, and the rise of the Internet. Typically, people have equated increasing mobility with increasing freedom. However, as Cresswell shows, while mobility has certainly increased in modern times, attempts to control and restrict mobility are just as characteristic of modernity. Through a series of fascinating historical episodes Cresswell shows how mobility and its regulation have been central to the experience of modernity.
