Guterstrome Der Welt : The Global Cargo Flow

Coffee from South America, oil from Saudi Arabia, TVs from China: Ships provide us daily with goods from all over the world. Each year about 45,000 cargo ships transport almost seven billion tonnes of goods across the globe. On their paths, they cross different seas, cultures as well as time and climate zones. Cargo ships are the core of globalization. Sebastian Meissner's and Eberhard Petzold's picture-book The Global Cargo Flow shows with spectacular photos and entertaining texts on how the goods come from overseas to our home. The title will be bilingual in German and English.
