The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger cover

Marc Levinson, 2006

Princeton University Press

0691123241, 392 pages

I tried hard to like this, but found it increasingly boring. The author clearly put a lot of effort into researching this, but in the end it's a tedious sequence of dates and events (union X did this, company Y did bla, etc etc), for hundreds of pages, while somehow managing to never actually go into any technical details.
