Description
Deep Sea and Foreign Going Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry that Brings You 90% of Everything by Rose George. The global shipping industry is a vast and complex network that plays a crucial role in our daily lives. Yet, it remains largely unexamined, with many of its practices slipping under the radar of regulators. In this unique investigation, Rose George takes readers on a journey to the high seas, ports, and dockyards, meeting a diverse cast of characters who work in this invisible industry. From beachcombers tracking lost containers to environmentalists fighting against marine pollution, George's story reveals the human side of shipping. She also explores the impact of technological advancements, such as robots replacing human crews, on the industry's future. With tenacity and insight, George navigates the murky waters of international shipping, shedding light on a sector that is both fascinating and often overlooked. By exploring the inner workings of shipping, Deep Sea and Foreign Going offers a fresh perspective on an industry that underpins our modern world.
