Fully updated and revised, the 3rd Edition introduces new contributors and insightful international case studies that illustrate the impact of green logistics in practice. It includes a new chapter about green hinterland logistics considering port and maritime issues written by Jean-Paul Rodrigue and Adolf Ng. The updated edition also includes a postscript tackling the most prevalent trends that have recently emerged onto the logistics landscape, including 3D printing. Ideal for use on related courses, it includes indispensable downloadable supporting materials as well as technical information and guidelines for teachers and lecturers.
