A word from the authorDec 29, 2005
By Pierre A. David
The content of the first edition of this book was based on the material that I use in a graduate course in International Logistics that I started teaching twenty years ago and which I still teach every semester. The material has benefited from the feedback of hundreds of students, most of whom were professionals engaged in international business, either in international logistics or in a related field. It has also benefited greatly from the experience of Richard Stewart, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, as well as a master captain and graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, who became a co-author after the second edition.
Although the textbook has mostly been written from a U.S. perspective, we included many examples that are based outside of North America.
We wrote this book with the idea that its content should be useful to the users of international logistics services, the shippers, and therefore we focused on making the text relevant to managers who are involved in international logistics activities, and are responsible to export or import goods. This perspective is in contrast with the majority of the material found in international transportation and logistics, which tends to focus on the perspective of the carrier [and covers carrier operations, rate setting, and hull insurance, for example]. Not that there is anything wrong with that perspective, but it is not what we set to accomplish.
All of the relevant concepts are thoroughly explained, including Incoterms, documentation, international banking, international insurance, exchange rate exposure, Customs clearance, agency and distributorship sales contracts, packaging and overseas shipping. In the third edition, we added a chapter on international logistics security and additional coverage on reverse logistics and sustainability.
We strived to make the book accessible to the reader: we took great care in making sure that all of the concepts were clearly and accurately portrayed without "simplifying" them in any way to make the reader's task easier, and I spent a lot of time to make sure that the vocabulary was precise and accurate, a perspective that we collectively gained from years of teaching non-native speakers of English. Among what our students have told us, it is the fact that the book is easy to read that they appreciated the most.
We also paid a lot of attention to the order in which the material was introduced, so that the approach was logical and so that the reader could understand a concept without having to refer to material that was presented later in the book. Given the interdependence of international logistics topics, this was a challenging undertaking, but we think we managed to achieve that goal. Nevertheless, I would strongly advise the interested reader to read the book once "quickly," before getting into some of its details.
Since the book introduces a number of topics that tend to be technical and are unfamiliar to many readers, we included more than a hundred illustrations, tables and figures in the text supporting the concepts presented. All were chosen carefully to make sure they depicted accurately the concepts presented in the text: we used our own photographs, but we also have to thank more than forty professional and amateur photographers who let us borrow their work.
Finally, the book has received strong academic support and has been adopted by most of the university logistics programs in the United States. It is also the reference textbook for the Certification in Transportation and Logistics offered by the American Society of Transportation and Logistics. We hope that you find it useful in your profession.

Great book, easy to understandMar 01, 2007
By Fadedcloud
I used this book for one of my packaging class in RIT. This book is plainly written, very easy to read and understand. There are also helpful diagrams to illustrate the important points. Important key terms are repeated on the side, which really helps when studying for an exam. The book covers a wide variety aspect of international logistics. It is a great book to understand the basics in logistic business; it is definitely worth your time and money.
