Authors:
- The discussion of the necessary adjustments of process models and network architectures in the field of logistics is embedded into the lager picture of the discussion of "sustainability" on the level of the whole economic system and of politics intervening into the market mechanism
- Models still regarded as "best practiced" are seriously questioned referring to their environmental implications
- The book covers a broad field of action including political options like road pricing or markets for emission permits, the decentralization of distribution and production networks or the challenges posed by unsolved problems in the field of city logistics
