Adding value  aIn April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that reshaped manufacturing. But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money, years of high-stakes bargaining, and delicate negotiation on standards. Now with a new chapter, The Box tells the dramatic story of how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur turned containerization from an impractical idea into a phenomenon that transformed economic geography, slashed transportation costs, and made the boom in global trade possible. -- from back cover14aMcLean, Malcolm Purcell, d1913-2001933262 0aContainerizationxHistory. 4aContenedorización (carga) 933261 4aLogística 93639  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  c120264d120264  00102lcc40708HUaBJBbBJBcHUd2023-11-14l0oTA 1215 L665b 2016p00000173568r2023-11-14 00:00:00t1w2023-11-14yBK
