Great book!
I always look forward to reading anything that Yossi writes. He is one of those guys that anyone involved in logistics and supply chain management should listen to and read what they write. I really enjoyed this book and have used some of the ideas contained in this book in recent speaking engagements. This book is really worth reading for anyone that is concerned about economic development and job growth. Plus, it is well-written.

An Excellent Book
I like this book, as Yossi managed to break down the various aspects of building and sustaining logistics clusters very well. This, to me, was fantastic. If I were a public policy planner, I would rate this book as a must read. However, it is also a must read for anyone in this business, as it helps to make a person understand the larger picture when it comes to logistics, as a business

A History and Modern Logistics point of View
For anyone curious about logistics clusters, this book talks about the successful and fails and all the important factors that people in the industry should know. I loved the history part of the book, with the Renaissance examples and how the model still applies in todays world. This book is a new classic.
