DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8b7af0/the_handbook_of_ma) has announced the addition of the "The Handbook of Maritime Economics and Business 2nd Edition" book to their offering.

Aspects of International Logistics

It is an indispensable reference book for apprentice and experienced practitioners in the maritime business world, as well as for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The Handbook of Maritime Business and Economics has become an essential text book for maritime, Undergraduate, MSc and PhD level courses.

"With it's mix of academic analysis and more practical business-focused viewpoints and advice the updated Handbook of Maritime Economics and Business provides a valuable current view of key principles. As Prof Grammenos indicated, the dynamics of the underlying forces affecting shipping markets and finance in the eight years since the first edition are likely to mean that in a further eight years the picture could well have changed dramatically once again and in ways that are not immediately predictable." Steve Matthews, Lloyd's List

"....There is considerable new material in the Handbook, from an analysis of freight rates fluctuations to measures for controlling air pollution from ships to a discussion of capital markets as a source in shipping finance. The range of shipping issues presented is certainly broad, not to mention thorough, from International Seaborne Trade and Shipping Investment Finance and Strategy, to International Logistics and IT. The Handbook, in short, is an important work of reference which will prove of immense value to everyone involved in the economic and business aspects of shipping." An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers.
