‘Managing Global Supply Chains’ addresses the challenges and trends that the global supply chain industry has encountered in recent decades. The book’s emphasis is on emerging and developed economies in Asia, North America and Latin America.
Many of the textbooks available for undergraduate and sub-degree students beginning to learn the concepts and practice of global supply chains are either too technical or too theoretical in nature. To fill this gap, ‘Managing Global Supply Chains’ includes chapters that cover traditional and contemporary topics (reverse logistics, logistics associations, logistics education, sustainability in supply chain management, operations in global supply chains and financial management). Globalization, advanced technology, organizational consolidation, the empowered consumer and government policy have contributed to the timeliness of the book.
The key topics of each chapter demonstrate a variety of fundamental issues in the supply chain industry: What are supply chain markets? What is the supply chain cost structure? What are supply chain strategies? How do supply chain firms design and implement strategies? What are the key roles of logistics service providers, logistics education operators and logistics associations? How should supply chain operations be managed? How is a sustainable and innovative supply chain structure created? Comparative practical case studies from Asia, North America and Latin America lend weight to the chapters.

In the first-ever history book about BART, longtime agency spokesman Michael C. Healy gives an insider's account of the rapid transit system's inception, hard-won approval, construction, and operations, “warts and all.” Written with a master storyteller's homey wit and sharp attention to detail, Healy recreates the politically fraught venture to bring a new kind of public transit to the West Coast. What emerges is a sense of the individuals who made (and make) BART happen. From tales of staying up until 3:00 a.m. with Bill Stokes and Jack Everson to hear the election results for the rapid transit vote or weathering scandals, strikes, and growing pains, this look behind the scenes of an iconic, seemingly monolithic structure reveals people at their most human—and determined to change the status quo.

An iconic piece of design and style – and a gold standard in motorcycle engineering – the Triumph has roved through the twentieth century, making its mark in hearts and minds. Founded in Coventry in 1885, Triumph Engineering had humble beginnings, importing bicycles and sewing machines. Little did anyone know that in the coming years the company would birth a historic series of motorcycles that have lit up the arenas of racing, popular culture, and even warfare for well over a century. To this day, the iconic model names – the Bonneville, the Daytona – evoke excitement and admiration all over the world. But as brilliant as the bikes are, the stories behind them are even better: Triumph has blazed a trail across the silver screen, being ridden by stars like Steve McQueen and Marlon Brando in classic movies. They have sped around the world’s most famous racetracks and scorched to numerous land speed records. And, of course, Triumph motorcycles, including the ‘Trusty Triumph,’ were used in both the First and Second World Wars by the Allies – forging their legend forever as the bikes that truly can do it all. In this enthralling book, esteemed motorcycle journalist, editor of Bike magazine, and lifelong rider Mike Armitage reveals the story of a true heritage brand, told in all its high-octane glory.

"Débutant en 1846 avec une flotte d'un seul navire, c'est grâce à la volonté et la ténacité de personnages remarquables tels que Jacques-Félix Sincennes, Louis-Adélard Sénécal et Louis-Joseph Forget, pour n'en nommer que quelques uns, que la Compagnie de Navigation du Richelieu a fait face aux défis du transport de produits de l'agriculture et de passagers vers des marchés plus vastes.
Suite à de nombreuses fusions avec des compagnies déjà en place, elle est devenue en 1913 la mère de la Société Canada Steamship Lines qui est encore un chef de file dans les eaux canadiennes et qui joue également un rôle important et toujours en croissance à l'échelle internationale en Europe, en Asie et en Amérique latine.
Avec cette oeuvre, Pierre Camu poursuit sa contribution à l'histoire de l'expansion économique du pays, en particulier dans le domaine des transports par eau. La rigueur et la profondeur de ses recherches pour ce volume sont remarquables; le ton est juste et le contexte social et économique recréé nous permet d'y pénétrer comme si on s'y retrouvait au moment présent.
Cet ouvrage captivera le lecteur du début à la fin. J'ai rencontré Pierre Camu lors de mon entrée dans l'industrie maritime, il y a quarante ans, et tout au long de sa carrière j'ai pu constater son dynamisme et son amour pour cette industrie et son histoire.
Je recommande la lecture de ce livre à tous ceux et celles qui s'intéressent à l'histoire des pionniers de notre pays."

The sinking of the Canadian Pacific steamship Princess Sophia was Alaska’s worst maritime disaster — until it nearly happened again.
In 1918, the Canadian Pacific steamship Princess Sophia left Skagway, Alaska, on her last trip of the season to Vancouver. She never made it. Battered by a raging snowstorm and sent dangerously off course, she ran aground on Vanderbilt Reef, a rocky shoal in Lynn Canal, North America’s deepest and longest fjord. She would spend two days high and dry on the reef, with rescue ships standing by, unable to help, before she finally slid to her watery grave.
Seventy-six years later, another ship — the modern Star Princess — finds herself off course in Lynn Canal, and history nearly repeats itself. Weaving together events past and present, Aaron Saunders tells the story of two very different ships that set sail from Skagway at opposite ends of the century. Their common bond — the unassuming and often treacherous stretch of water known as Lynn Canal.
