Ninty Percent of Everything - Inside the invisible industry by Rose George


Recommended Posts

I just finished reading this very interesting and informative book about the shipping industry.

Rose journeys from Rotterdam to Singapore aboard the Maersk Kendal. She covers the current state of Piracy and a myriad of topics that include the state of the global fleet and the life-cycles of the big ships their demise. everything that you ever wanted to know about the global movement of stuff, and what it takes in both human and mechanical resources.

 

Overall an informative and entertaining read,
