Summary: Practical guide to Transportation and Logistics, by MB Stroh
Comment: This book is being defined as an introduction to Transportation and Logistics. Had I known the extremely simplistic tone and amount of information given here I would have not order this book. The book has only 184 pages. The last 84 were wasted with petty information. The appendices from page 131 to 184 have common information one can learn at work. The Chapter 4, page 101 to page 124, the book's space has been wasted with the pictures and history of the personal computer, from vacuum tubes and Altair 8800, on. Chapter 5, page 125-130 talks about the significance of the Web! These two chapters would have been great information in 1990! Who should buy the book? The rightful readership for this book: GED - forklift operator -who has the laudable drive to learn a few extra things his supervisor is hiding from him for fear of inside competition! Here is why, in the words of the author, in explaining how to input value in the four variables of the logistic function, the author says: "All right, this may be more math than some of you really want to contend with. I know it requires some mental gymnastics but the concept is important"! This book should be in the price range of $5.00 with a chosen delivery time of three-four weeks, so that the cost of ownership would not be over $8.00. Many authors violate the trust of readership by not specifying the level of readership to which the book is addressed. Mr. Stroh did just that!

Summary: Great intro to shipping
Comment: If you're a graduate student looking for a book on transportation and logistics theory, don't by this book. However if you are one of the many people that have responsibilities related to running a shipping/receiving department you'll find this book indispensable. This easy to read guide covers the various options in carriers, documentation requirements, freight classifications, terms, and other topics related to the day to day operation of a shipping department. Readers with no experience in transportation can quickly get up to speed on rate and discount negotiations, export documentation, and auditing of freight bills.
