Reviews for Mathematical Modelling for Sustainable Development
Aus den Rezensionen: "Marion Herschs Lehrbuch uber mathematische Methoden dient der formalen Begrundung von Entscheidungen zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung. Zum Einstieg diskutiert die Autorin den Nachhaltigkeitsbegriff, der in ihrem Verstandnis auch Gender- und Menschenrechtsaspekte berucksichtigt. Damit verdeutlicht sie die Schwierigkeiten, die sich bei einer formalen Analyse der Nachhaltigkeit stellen ..." (in: Okologisches Wirtschaften, 2007, Issue 1, S. 56)
