Ninety Percent of Everything

Infrastructure. We never give it much thought, and that's ok: there's too much to be aware of. Shipping, though... shipping is big. In terms of lives affected, social benefits and costs, ecological impact. We really need to be aware of this invisible world, and Rose George's book is a thoughtful and enjoyable way to learn about it. The frequent context switches can be jarring, hence four stars, but nonetheless strongly recommended.
