Críticas
Her report is a marvel of information, insight and intelligence laced with humour, humanity and high spirits. --The Times
The author deserves considerable praise. First, for wangling passage on the kind of ship that rarely welcomes outsiders; second, for coaxing several enlightening interviews out of the ship's crew; and, third, for writing with such gusto and elegance. --Geographical Magazine
Fascinating... this is essential reading for anyone curious about the complex systems behind our convenient modern world. --Hythe Herald
'Absorbing, engrossing, there are moments when the pulse genuinely quickens. Just what you'll want to read after seeing Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips and Robert Redford in All is Lost' --Scotsman
'Deep Sea and Foreign Going is an ethnographic travelogue that is as fascinating and it is troublingly insightful. This is a remarkable work of embedded reportage - hair-raising, witty, compassionate - that deserves to be read by anyone interested in the cartographies of the contemporary world' --Guardian

Reseña del editor
There are 100,000 freighters on the seas. Between them they carry nearly everything we eat, wear and work with. In this unique investigation, Rose George joins the crew of a container ship to chart the murky waters of international shipping, with its powerful naval fleets, pirate gangs, and illegal floating factories, to reveal the hidden industry upon which our world turns and our future depends.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An award-winning investigation into the strange and secretive world of international shipping. 'Arresting, sharply observed, deeply researched and compelling. Plenty of books promise to reveal the secrets of little-known worlds but few actually deliver. This is one that does' Melanie McGrath, Sunday Telegraph There are 100,000 freighters on the seas. Between them they carry nearly everything we eat, wear and work with. In this unique and fascinating investigation, Rose George joins the crew of a container ship travelling the long journey from Felixstowe to Singapore and charts the murky waters of international shipping. This is an eye-opening tale of powerful naval fleets, pirate gangs, and illegal floating factories, which reveals the vast hidden industry upon which our world turns and our future depends. 'This is a remarkable work of embedded reportage - hair-raising, witty, compassionate - that deserves to be read' Sukhdev Sandhu, Guardian A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and winner of a Society of Authors Travelling Scholarship and a Mountbatten Maritime Award. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR005916886
