|author= Craig Martin
|title= Shipping Container (Object Lessons)
|rating= 3
|genre= Popular Science
|summary= This book is small, not even 150 pages of text, and more like 100 if you exclude the index, references and acknowledgements so perhaps it's unsurprising that it had to choose a more limited focus. There is plenty still to learn from the book. The word 'dunnage' is used daily and everyone knows what it means (the stuff inside containers to protect contents from damage during transit) but it was interesting to learn the origin of its use. Twist locks – the mighty strong connectors that can be used to link containers together – are also heavily featured.

|summary=Our body is an amazing machine, capable of performing a myriad of tasks simultaneously. Even when we are sleeping, our body is busy processing information, pumping blood, regulating temperature and filtering waste. When we are hurt, a host of repair systems jump into operation to sort out the damage. When we are invaded by a foreign body, our immune system works to repel the invaders. We are constantly making new discoveries about the wonderful way that our body works.
