No, it's good. It's quite an old book now, first published in 2006. I decided to listen to the audio version now because of the current trend towards trade protectionism, which threatens to at least partly reverse the globalisation of trade, a process in which the shipping container played its part.

Ian, you find the most interesting treasures of obscure.

Lol! It's true that I do seem to lean towards esoteric subjects! That said, at the time of writing this book has almost 7000 ratings and 631 reviews, so it's not as obscure as some of my choices!
