Summary

"Cargo Ship Era" masterfully chronicles the transformation of maritime shipping from the landmark 1956 voyage of Ideal X to today's sophisticated container vessels, weaving together the technical evolution of ship design with its profound economic implications.The book illuminates how engineering innovations in hull design, propulsion systems, and cargo handling mechanisms enabled the development of increasingly massive and efficient vessels, while simultaneously exploring the economic ripple effects these advances triggered in global trade.Through a careful examination of seven decades of maritime engineering archives and industry data, the book reveals fascinating insights into how naval architects solved critical challenges like structural stability in larger vessels and fuel efficiency optimization. The text particularly excels in demonstrating how the standardization of shipping containers and port automation revolutionized international commerce, using prominent ports like Rotterdam and Singapore as compelling case studies of infrastructure adaptation.The narrative progresses from historical developments to current challenges, examining pressing issues like sustainable shipping and digital fleet management. What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, making complex engineering concepts accessible while maintaining their connection to economic outcomes. Whether describing technical innovations in vessel design or analyzing emerging trends in maritime commerce, the book serves as an essential resource for both engineering professionals and business leaders invested in understanding the future of global maritime trade.

    Can affordable housing make the American Dream an American reality?The American Dream has always been built on the notion that no matter where you come from, you can be successful. Housing has always played a major role in making the American Dream a reality, but how exactly? In American Dream Come True, Tony Bertoldi leverages over two decades’ worth of experience in affordable housing to explain in clear and entertaining prose what affordable housing really is and who it impacts. Spoiler alert: all of us.By debunking the common misconceptions about affordable housing, Bertoldi shows how supporting affordable housing is a benefit for the entire American ecosystem, and where you fit in. From addressing inflation, job creation, and creative ESG strategy, to reducing health costs for American taxpayers, Bertoldi shows how the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC, pronounced LI-Tec) program creates a more balanced society where people from all backgrounds can work, live, and contribute to their community.If there is any truth to the phrase “home is where the heart is,” then the call to action for all of us is the same—to put our heart into creating more affordable homes. It’s good for individuals. Good for families. Good for health. Good for business. Good for America.
