Book Reviews

Abstract

In Book Reviews, we review an extensive and diverse range of books. They cover theory and applications in operations research, statistics, management science, econometrics, mathematics, computers, and information systems. In addition, we include books in other fields that emphasize technical applications. The editor will be pleased to receive an email from those willing to review a book, with an indication of specific areas of interest. If you are aware of a specific book that you would like to review, or that you think should be reviewed, please contact the editor. This is the last collection of book reviews edited by Graham Rand. He thanks the editor-in-chief of Interfaces, Srinivas Bollapragada, for giving him the opportunity to make this contribution to the journal, the publications staff at INFORMS, particularly Alice Mack and Kelly Kophazi, who have been so helpful, and all those who wrote the 116 book reviews that he commissioned during the past four years. The following books are reviewed in this issue of Interfaces, 45(1), January–February 2015: An Introduction to Traffic Flow Theory, Lily Elefteriadou; Sustainability Appraisal: Quantitative Methods and Mathematical Techniques for Environmental Performance Evaluation, Marina G. Erechtchoukova, Peter A. Khaiter, and Paulina Golinska; and Essays in Production, Project Planning and Scheduling: A Festschrift in Honor of Salah Elmaghraby, P. Simin Pulat, Subhash C.
