""This book is an important clarifying tool for everyday people, managers and researchers around the world about how sustainable tracing of products from the productor to final customer can be designed to accomplish the standards of world resources management and its recovery for a healthy nation's environmental preservation and well-being of its citizens. The book discusses Adam Smith's principles, absolute growth of nations in the context of full availability of goods and services, actual nations' limitations and needs under a straightforward commerce, high velocity of communications and trading and very well-organized transportation systems in major cities and countries. The relationship between environmental degradation and its impact on the supply chain is a high point of the integration of ideas, behind the complexity of these aforementioned events and social impacts in economic activity. These factors that are provoking great confusion, are well orchestrated in this book by the authors. Going deeper, the authors offer case studies of successful ideas on treating such complexities, causing us to reflect on solutions that we could be engaging in, to make the appropriate difference concerning the planet's problems. The organization of the book makes it easy to read and follow. It is divided by concepts and by historical counts, different from a normal scientific text, full of references (all of them included). This book must be part of everyone's literature; hope the reader appreciates it as I do."" * Professor Marcos Negreiros, Universidade Estadual do Ceará, Fortaleza, Brazil * ""This book makes a significant contribution to the field of operations management and sustainability by looking at how supply chains can be transformed to be more sustainable by changing end-to-end supply chain relationships, governance and control mechanisms."" * Professor Bob Doherty, Dean-School for Business and Society, University of York, UK * ""This book examines the sustainable transformation of supply chains beyond operational efficiency by describing the roles and relationships among actors, stakeholders and overall ecosystems."" * Professor Manoj Tiwari, Director, Indian Institute of Management Mumbai, India * ""This book fills an important gap in undergraduate and postgraduate education.
