Review: As background, I work in finance, specifically equity research and money management In an attempt to get away from the typical Wall Street drivel, I bought three books on shipping This is by far the best comprehensive book. It covers the actual aspects of operating a ship (always important when understanding an industry) But it covers the economics of a ship owner, some macro analysis on trade and a great section on maritime history More importantly, it review the history of shipping cycles Thus is book gives investors all the tools to evaluate the shipping sector for potential investments If nothing else, buy this book first, read it, then see what else you need to learn Only criticism is that the 2008-2011 boom collapse is not really covered in this edition (2009 edition but really only has data up to 2007) which is understandable, but an analysis of the current extreme boom and subsequent bust would be helpful Enjpy Review: I bought this book as part of efforts to get a general insight into the shipping industry and have found it to be the best of several I have read. In particular I would suggest people prioritise it over Branch's 'Elements of Shipping', which although packed with masses of detail is dreadfully edited and annoyingly repetitious. 'Martime Economics', by contrast, is written in a flowing and reasonably comprehensible style, is much better laid out and covers many of the same areas while providing much more business detail. I have been reading it with a cherry-picking style, which the book is well suited to, as it is superbly organised with chapter summaries and section headings which make it easy to find what you want to read. Given the hefty size of the book this is no less than one would expect! The book unfolds into greater detail in the latter sections, so readers in a hurry can concentrate on early chapters to get much of the entire content. The large number of graphs and maps is pleasing and all come with painstaking explanations which I have found invaluable as I have not really studied economics. All in all this is an excellent book which I highly recommend! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #21,657 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Transportation Industry #16 in Ships #70 in International Business & Investing | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (83) | | Dimensions | 17.5 x 3.8 x 24.6 cm | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 041527558X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0415275583 | | Item weight | 1.5 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 816 pages | | Publication date | 19 December 2008 | | Publisher | Routledge | ## Images ![Maritime Economics 3e - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jbu62e7XL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***D on 25 September 2011* As background, I work in finance, specifically equity research and money management In an attempt to get away from the typical Wall Street drivel, I bought three books on shipping This is by far the best comprehensive book.
