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 e-mail 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. The following books are reviewed in this issue of Interfaces, 431, January–February 2013: Supply Chain Simulation: A System Dynamics Approach for Improving Performance, Francisco Campuzano and Josefa Mula; Models Behaving Badly, Emanuel Derman; Design of Modern Heuristics, Franz Rothlauf; Deterministic Global Optimization: Geometric Branch-and-Bound Methods and Their Applications, Daniel Scholz; Project Management with Dynamic Scheduling—Baseline Scheduling, Risk Analysis and Project Control, Mario Vanhoucke; Optimal Control Theory with Applications in Economics, Thomas A.
