On the Move: Mobility in the Modern Western WorldOn the Move presents a rich history of one of the key concepts of modern life: mobility. As Tim Cresswell shows, while mobility has greatly increased in modern times, attempts to control and restrict it are just as characteristic of modernity. On the Move utilizes an impressive variety of angles to explore the increasing social and physical mobility of people over the past 150 years as well as efforts to restrict it: international migration, stop-motion photography, automobile culture, the time-motion studies of Frederick Winslow Taylor, the Los Angeles bus riders' strike of the late 1990s, the new mobilities fostered by European Union integration, and the plight of New Orleans residents unable to move when Hurricane Katrina struck. |

流动性与walking是一枚硬币的两面，所以本书所引用的资源也是walking研究所需要的。当然，有更多的交通工具可以带来流动性，但行走是身体性的运动，本身包含了对机械文明的反思。
