Ninety Percent of Everything

In this book, Rose George delves into the world of freight shipping, an industry that is both revolutionary and largely invisible.

She spent five weeks aboard a shipping container ship and also patrolled the Indian Ocean with an anti-piracy task force to research the subject.

The book highlights the importance of shipping in bringing goods to postindustrial economies, as well as its environmental and social impacts, including suspect practices, environmental pollution, and the threat of piracy.
