'In international trade, like in all of economics, we can ask the three classic questions: what is trade, how is it traded, and for whom is it traded? While much research in international trade is devoted to what and for whom, this important volume is devoted to the second question: how are goods traded between countries? Answering that question brings us quickly into issues of infrastructure, logistics, networks, and transport costs, as well as the agents of international trade. This volume will be immensely useful for economists and those in other fields who want to understand how trade actually occurs.'--Robert C. Feenstra, University of California, Davis, US
