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, 434, July–August, 2013: Value-Added Decision Making for Managers, Kenneth Chelst and Yavuz Burak Canbolat; Risk Analysis in Stochastic Supply Chains: A Mean-Risk Approach, Tsan-Ming Choi and Chun-Hung Chiu; In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman, William J. Cook; Recent Advances in System Reliability: Signatures, Multi-state Systems and Statistical Inference, Anatoly Lisnianski and Ilia Frenkel, eds.; Dynamic Fleet Management for International Truck Transportation, Steffen Schorpp; and Operative Transportation Planning: Solutions in Consumer Goods Supply Chain, Thorben Seiler.
