| Why it’s on the list | Martin Stopford’s standard textbook of the shipping business — freight-rate cycles, ship finance, and the four markets (freight, newbuilding, sale-and-purchase, demolition), with 5,000 years of sea trade as background. When a working textbook is what a crowd names, that usually means the industry has no popular book worth reading instead. |
