From the reviews:
"The book consists of a collection of self-contained chapters written by well-respected experts in the field. ... the style of presentation is sufficiently uniform. ... the editors formulate demonstration and communication of the pervasive nature of discrete optimization as their primary goal in producing this book. There are no doubts that they have achieved this goal." (Antanas Zilinskas, Interfaces, Vol. 38 (2), 2008)
