## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Detailed, in-depth history of the shipping industry
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2022*

Levinson's "The Box" is the most comprehensive, reader-friendly book not only on the usage of the shipping container but the shipping and transportation industry itself. The style, a linear, narrative type, gives both the proper historical context of breakbulk shipping preceding containerized freight to the union battles of the 60's, ending with the explosion of Asian container ports in the second decade of the 21st century. Levinson's detailed narrative is great for both readers with experience in this industry and the general audience.However, on occasion, Levinson will mention very specific terminology that can confuse a reader not familiar with logistics and shipping. Everyone reading this review probably knows what a container looks like, but not the specifics, such as the locking mechanisms and the sides to support the weight of multiple containers. It would have been nice to have more photos to illustrate these parts. For the most part, any figures are tables relating to data; useful, but the space should have been used for pictures. Thankfully, Google is a useful ally.With the book being around 500 pages (the last ~100 are references and citations), The Box approaches the border of being too lengthy, but not verbose. If you are looking for a quick, brief understanding of containerized freight, I would suggest another book or a YouTube video. However, if you'd like to learn the history of shipping, containers, transportation, and its affects, both political and economic, then this book is a must.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very focused on USA, but an excellent book
  

*by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022*

Would have appreciated a more global view. The author sometimes repeats ideas, making the book a longer yet entertained read. Would recommend yo skip pages if you got the idea.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fascinating practical and historical perspective
  

*by I***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2022*

Many of the names are familiar if you are into Ports and the shipping industry. How and why the inventions came about is a fascinating historical journey. Locations, risk-takers and actual cost savings are given in real terms. Discussion of barriers and work-arounds that made shipping containers happen worldwide. And it is an enjoyable read too!
