Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a detailed study by the author, explores the development of sea ports. At the heart of this study is the idea that sea ports are not the be-all and end-all of trade routes, but rather cogs in a complex machine of trade and transport. Thus, the expansion of a port often relies less on the port itself, and more on factors such as inland rates and infrastructure development. This book explores how a sea port's relationship to its hinterland and rail systems can dramatically impact its competitive standing, growth, and even the kinds of industries that develop in the port's vicinity. The author includes a wealth of specific examples from ports up and down the American eastern seaboard, providing a rich and nuanced picture of the role of sea ports in the economic history of the country.
