David Boyce is indebted to Martin Beckmann and C. Bart McGuire for interviews conducted in 1998 and 1999. Professor McGuire later conveyed to Boyce about three inches of files related to the preparation and editing of the book, which he had retained since the mid 1950s. These files were useful in preparing this review. Professors N.O. Jorgensen, Larry LeBlanc and Robert Oliver were also most helpful in responding to questions posed to them. Boyce also acknowledges the financial support of the UPS Foundation Transportation Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the services of the University Library.
Anna Nagurney is indebted to Professor Constantine Dafermos of Brown University and Professor F. Tom Sparrow of Purdue University for helpful and illuminating conversations as well as to Professor Dietrich Braess for helpful correspondence. She also acknowledges Martin Beckmann for his wisdom and advice that he has shared with her in many countries since her doctoral work at Brown University.
The authors are grateful to Professor Jessie Poon, the North American Editor, and to the three anonymous reviewers for their careful reading of the original manuscript and their many helpful suggestions and comments.
