The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger

The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger by Marc Levinson is a non-fiction book charting the historic rise of the intermodal container and how it changed the economic landscape of the global economy. The book inspired the name for the project "The Box" run by BBC News from September 2008 onwards, in which the BBC were tracking a container for a period of one year.
