"The successful urban space is a dynamic and complex blend of the rational and the irrational, the planned and the unintentional. This statement, plus his premise that the quality of life in the modern city is proportional to the quality of people's experiences of urban spaces, are the basis of architect David Specter's belief that that quality depends upon predictable and positive values. By means of the fascinating photographs he has made both here and in Europe, complemented by perceptive commentaries, Specter arms the layman with a new analytical sensitivity to the elements that go to make up the pedestrian urban space and suggests to other designers that the subtle factors which create urban amenities can be manipulated, planned for. Lighting, newsstands, shops, fences, bollards, walls, water, reflections, surface decoration, graphics, cafés, shelters, vantage points - these are but some of the elements David Specter illuminates in word and photograph. Often it is the subtle psychological effect of one or another of them that is its most important aspect.

This book will have a lasting infl uence on the future quality of public open spaces. By helping us better understand the larger public life of cities, Life between Buildings can only move us toward more lively and healthy public places. Buy this book, fi nd a comfortable place to sit in a public park or plaza, begin reading, look around. You will be surprised at how you will start to see (and design) the world differently.

The protection of pedestrians is the most important global road safety priority. This is the first book to provide a detailed treatment of the physical processes which occur when pedestrians and cyclists are struck by motorised vehicles. The principal focus is to show how pedestrian and cyclist pre-impact movements and vehicle design influence subsequent injury outcome. This involves recourse to several academic disciplines: epidemiology, mechanics, and anatomy/physiology. Therefore this book presents pedestrian and cyclist impact from a biomechanical perspective. It features a detailed treatment of the physics of pedestrian and cyclist impact, as well as a review of the accident databases and the relevant injury criteria used in the assessment of pedestrian and cyclist injuries. New data detailing the kinematics of the impact processes are presented, and the relationship between vehicle impact speed and projection distance and the relative importance of ground related injuries compared to vehicle related injuries is assessed in detail. The final focus is on the complex relationship between vehicle design and pedestrian and cyclist injury outcome in the event of a collision. This book is a “one stop” source for understanding the mechanics of pedestrian and cyclist impact and is therefore of significant value to both new and established researchers.
