'This book should be of interest to specialized planners and economists involved in transport project evaluations who want a current report on how their colleagues are improving current practices and are willing to wade through various papers. People interested in these issues will surely find many interesting bits of information. It is suitable for a graduate studies seminar that focuses on these issues.'
