About this book
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This work would be useful to instructors, practitioners, and managers in defining sustainability indices to compare and contrast project results in various companies. Similarly, it could serve as a reference for people searching for new information about sustainability appraisal. … I consider Sustainability Appraisal: Quantitative Methods and Mathematical Techniques for Environmental Performance Evaluation to be a good reference for researchers in the fields of environmental sciences, operations research, sustainable economics, green logistics, and environmental engineering.” (Javier Faulin, Interfaces, Vol. 45 (1), January-February, 2015)Editors and Affiliations
