Why you should read Transport Logistics

This expansive, well-researched work could rank as one of the most inclusive, complete books on the esoteric topic of freight logistics and that field’s role in shaping modern civilization. The book’s wide scope and historic perspective make the topic come alive, enhanced by its architectural, engineering, military and relief effort case studies. The pace slows when author Issa Baluch discusses the transportation infrastructures of Egypt, India and Dubai, in sections that may be too detailed for most readers. Similarly, some of the case studies go into excessive detail about the actual contents of what was shipped for specific efforts, such as the Berlin airlift. However, despite these minor distractions, people in the transportation industry will find this manuscript revealing. Although it may be long and dry at times, getAbstract.com was intrigued by its historic overview of transportation logistics.
