Deep Sea and Foreign Going : Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry that Brings You 90% of Everything - Thryft

Unveiling the unseen, pivotal maritime industry.

"Deep Sea and Foreign Going" is quite the eye-opener, perfect for those who love to uncover the hidden cogs of globalization. As you join Rose George on her maritime adventure, you'll dive into the complex and occasionally murky world of international shipping—a journey that's as enlightening as it is critical to understanding how the products we use daily make their way to us.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

There are 100,000 freighters on the seas. Between them they carry nearly everything we eat, wear and work with. In this unique investigation, Rose George joins the crew of a container ship to chart the murky waters of international shipping, with its powerful naval fleets, pirate gangs, and illegal floating factories, to reveal the hidden industry upon which our world turns and our future depends.
