Contributors from logistics, business management, and transportation examine the environmental impact of transporting, storing, and handling physical products as they move through supply chains
in both forward and reverse directions, and explore theories and practices for reducing that impact. They cover assessing the environmental effects of logistics, a strategic perspective, an
operational perspective, key issues, and implications for public policy and the future of supply chains. Specific topics include assessing the external impacts of freight transport,
restructuring road freight networks within supply chains, reducing the environmental impact of warehousing, increasing fuel efficiency in the road freight sector, sustainability strategies for
city logistics, and distribution by drone. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
