Críticas
Her report is a marvel of information, insight and intelligence laced with humour, humanity and high spirits. --The Times
'Cleverly constructed, carefully researched, moving, vivid... Thoughtful and provocative, Deep Sea and Foreign is written with style and passion' --Nautilus International
'Fascinating... this is essential reading for anyone curious about the complex systems behind our convenient modern world' --Hythe Herald
'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
'This is an essential read for anyone curious about the complex systems behind our convenience-driven world' -- Welsh Coastal Life --Welsh Coastal Life
Reseña del editor
There are 100,000 freighters on the seas. Between them they carry nearly everything we eat, wear and work with. And yet this massive global industry has remained largely unexamined: it passes by out of sight for most of us and, through the 'flags of convenience' system, its dubious practices often slip under the radar of regulators. In this unique investigation, Rose George travels the high seas with their powerful naval fleets, pirate gangs, and illegal floating factories, and visits the ports and their land-bound dockworkers, tycoons, missionaries, stevedores, border control guards, and ship-spotters. She meets the beachcombers who track the 10,000 containers that are lost every year, the robots who are gradually replacing human crews, and the environmentalists campaigning against the tide of marine pollution. Intrepid, informed and tenacious, George steers a sure course through the murky, character-rich waters of international shipping.
