Transport Logistics: The Wheel of Commerce

In this much-anticipated second volume on transport logistics, industry veterans Issa Baluch and Charles Edwards make a compelling case for the starring role of transportation and logistics on the world's economic and social stage. In this far-reaching and authoritative look at transport logistics, Baluch and Edwards show how the complex systems of moving and delivering goods all over the world-in all kinds of weather and over all types of obstacles-can boost the economies of countries large and small, fully developed or struggling to get there.

Issa Baluch is president of the Dubai-based National Association of Freight and Logistics, and serves on the Board of Directors of the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Association. He has previously written Transport Logistics: Past, Present, and Predictions, which is available in four languages. Charles H.W. Edwards has been engaged in the commercial aviation and logistics industry since 1970. He held senior management positions with the North Carolina-based airline that started United Parcel Service Airlines and a U.K.-based charter passenger airline. He is an Industry Fellow at the Kenan Institute for Private Enterprise, and serves on the Education and Research Committee of The International Air Cargo Association.
