Everyday Spirituality: Social and Spatial Worlds of Enchantment

travelling other than by car is less a liberating selection and more a means of entrenching social exclusion. This account adds some perspective to what is largely a middle-class, Western movement to discourage car use that sometimes takes for granted an inherent positivity in other transport modes. Finally, Part Three brings the volume to a close by considering the technologies of mobility, looking at infrastructure and techniques. This section features accounts of the undulating pain and pleasure that can accompany boat travel back and fore to one’s private island (Boshier), the community experience of ferry travel (Vannini and Vannini) and the peculiarly pronounced role that changing mobility fashions have exerted on the town of Winslow, Arizona (Jones and Meumann). In this last chapter, the history of the town is traced along a chronology that follows the successive peaks of the establishment of the Santa Fe railway, Winslow airport being used as a refuelling hub and Route 66 passing through to the decline of rail travel, development of larger fuel tanks for planes and the replacement of Route 66 with a new highway that by-passed the area. The fortunes of the town were reliant on the transportation trends and as the former became less relevant to the latter, it faded away. There is a message here that alterations to mobility patterns can yield unexpected but significant results on communities. Overall, considering the boom in alternative mobility studies over recent years, it would be difficult to argue that Vannini has hit upon a startlingly original concept for his book. That fact, though, should not be used to denigrate the worth of this valuable collection as the interesting and insightful tales contained within and the care and integrity of the storytelling ensure that these narratives provide a useful addendum to an ongoing movement in the literature. In the pursuit of routes less travelled, this book contributes towards the construction of a wider picture of global alternatives to the motor vehicle.
