The book follows Bismillah Khan as he grows from child to man, shagird to ustad, pupil to legend-from his early days when he charged five rupees for a programme to the days when each performance commanded anything between five to ten lakh rupees. Bismillah Khan's life is played out against the streets, galis and muhallas of Benaras, its ghats, temples, mehfils and musicians, bringing to life an era that has since passed.

The author recreates in delightful detail the moves and manners of twentieth century Benaras, its wealthy aristocrats and courtesans and the many artists who interacted with both. The colourful strands of Benarasi society are seen as the perfect background for the extraordinary genius of Bismillah Khan.

The book also lovingly portrays the whims and foibles of Bismillah Khan?an artist, whose stature as a musical legend could never quite overshadow the wit, humour and charisma of the man (less)

"--George Stalk, Boston Consulting Group and author of "Surviving the China Riptide" "An excellent piece of work."--Bruce Nelson, Dartmouth College "This book is dynamite.

The experts who tell you the transistor and microchips changed the world are off base. The ugly, unglamorous, little-noticed shipping container has changed the world.

Without it, there would be no globalization, no Wal-Mart, maybe even no high-tech. And what looks like low-tech is in fact a breathtaking technological innovation.

Marc Levinson's sparkling and authoritative story is great fun to read, but it is spectacular economic history as well."--Peter L.

Bernstein, author of "Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk" "Fascinating, informative, wonderfully historicized. This is a terrific untold story.

"--Nelson Lichtenstein, University of California, Santa Barbara, and editor of "Wal-Mart: the Face of Twenty-First Century Capitalism" "The adoption of the modern shipping container may be a close second to the Internet in the way it has changed our lives. It has made products from every corner of the world commonplace and accessible everywhere.

It has dramatically cut the cost of transportation and thereby made outsourcing a significant issue. It has transformed the world's port cities, and more.

This book, very nicely written, makes a fascinating set of true stories of an apparently mundane subject, and dramatically illustrates how simple innovations can transform our lives."--William Baumol, Director, Berkley Center forEntrepreneurial Studies, author of "The Free-Market Innovation Machine" In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston.

From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. "The Box" tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.

Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the first container voyage, this is the first comprehensive history of the shipping container. It recounts how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur, Malcom McLean, turned containerization from an impractical idea into a massive industry that slashed the cost of transporting goods around the world and made the boom in global trade possible.

But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money, both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology.

It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or train or ship. Ultimately, it took McLean's success in supplying U.

S. forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the container's potential.

Drawing on previously neglected sources, economist Marc Levinson shows how the container transformed economic geography, devastating traditional ports such as New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones, such as Oakland. By making shipping so cheapthat industry could locate factories far from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost products from around the globe.

Marc Levinson has contributed to The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger as an author. Marc Levinson is an economist in New York and author of three previous books.

He was formerly finance and economics editor of the "Economist," a writer at "Newsweek," and editorial director of the "Journal of Commerce." He has published widely in magazines such as Harvard Business Review and Foreign Affairs.

"The continuous decline of ocean shipping costs in the last 40 years is rarely credited for the growth of global trade in contemporary literature. Don't miss this amazing history.

So, before he gets on to torque steer and active suspension, he’d like to take a little time to consider the bigger picture.Don’t worry, we’ll get to the car bit in the end, but before we do, we'll learn about: The unfortunate collapse of the British empire.

Why Galapagos tortoises are all mental..

. France reduced to the size of a small coconut.

..

Why Jeremy Paxman and the bass guitarist of AC/DC aren’t so very different..

. The problems of being English.

And God’s most stupid creation..

. Then there are the cars: Whether it’s the poxiest little runabout or an exotic, firebreathing supercar, no one else writes about cars like Jeremy.
