內容簡介

內容簡介 還記得《海盜村》嗎?現在還有海盜嗎?當然還有,而且他們正威脅著當今船舶業者呢。至於船舶這個行業你到底了解多少?這個謎樣的行業,正透過貨櫃默默地為我們帶來生活的方便。假若沒有這些貨櫃,大概會買不到我們想要的食物或者是其他生活必需品吧。而本書聚焦於船舶海運,持續航行的貿易經濟的故事。《廁所之書》的作者蘿絲喬治(Rose George)又一新作,講得是船。透過文字紀錄,讓我們不再忽略事實。從鹿特丹到蘇伊士運河,再到新加坡,這一艘艘的貨船,有得大到一個足球場大。到底有甚麼秘辛藏?作者透過反海盜特遣部隊的船隻,在印度洋上遊走巡查。加入海洋牧師(Seafaring chaplain)。調查船隻對於鯨魚的危害。種種令人匪夷所思的行業與大量關於海洋的資訊,用風趣的報導呈現。為讀者揭露這看不見的世界,默默地掌握我們的經濟、環境,甚至是所謂的文明。沒看過本書,別說你了解貿易。這是一本關於海洋上的故事,船員的血汗。推薦給對大海仍舊有無限想像的讀者。一起看看船上到底發生甚麼事吧。
