Book Description

Arc Routing: Theory, Solutions and Applications is about arc traversal and the wide variety of arc routing problems, which has had its foundations in the modern graph theory work of Leonhard Euler. Arc routing methods and computation has become a fundamental optimization concept in operations research and has numerous applications in transportation, telecommunications, manufacturing, the Internet, and many other areas of modern life. The book draws from a variety of sources including the traveling salesman problem (TSP) and graph theory, which are used and studied by operations research, engineers, computer scientists, and mathematicians. In the last ten years or so, there has been extensive coverage of arc routing problems in the research literature, especially from a graph theory perspective; however, the field has not had the benefit of a uniform, systematic treatment. With this book, there is now a single volume that focuses on state-of-the-art exposition of arc routing problems, that explores its graph theoretical foundations, and that presents a number of solution methodologies in a variety of application settings. Moshe Dror has succeeded in working with an elite group of ARC routing scholars to develop the highest quality treatment of the current state-of-the-art in arc routing.

Book Description

In this first comparative study of Chinese and Zimbabwean railway experiences, Gao examines the role played by technological progress in generating significant social change. His principal concern is with indigenous people whose efforts to meet this technological advance has been neglected or underestimated. Gao shows how different cultural traditions, political situations, and individual interests create an attractive variety of local responses to the challenges and opportunities afforded by technology. He not only describes the final consequences of railway development, but emphasizes the dynamic process by which indigenous people first derived, then gradually lost, most of the gains from modern transport advances. In addition, Gao explores a number of permanent impacts of railways on the two areas, including demographic and structural changes, and divisions of race and class. An intriguing study for researchers and students of imperialism, and Chinese and African history.

Brandmaps helps managers develop critical skills.......2000-07-25

Through Brandmaps, Randy Chapman has bolstered his reputation as the preeminnent authority on DOS-Based Marketing Simulations. Only the most skilled marketing manager can negotiate the complexities of Brandmaps without Chapman's expert advice.

Little support for an intricate simulation game........2000-02-10

The Brandmaps simulation is an outstanding learning tool. The complex nature of this game requires a tremendous amount of time and effort to be an effective competitor. This book provides only a base of general information for the game user. It is sometimes difficult to follow and does not adequately cover advanced senarios. Knowledge of strategic planning, corporate strategy, and brand management are definitely a plus before entering into a game.

A moderately good textbook at best.

Customer Reviews:

Maybe it's the subject..........1999-04-01

But this book is really 'dry' to read. Plus, I expected a greater emphasis on computing and the internet, which are fertile areas for this subject. Nevertheless, there's some common sense information that might appeal to some law afficcionado.
