Yhden raggarin kertomus on henkilökohtainen elämänkertani nuoruuden vuosista -80 luvun vaihteesta jolloin viiskytluku oli tullut takaisin Suomessa. Silloin oli muodissa Amerikkalaiset autot ja viiskyt luvun musiikki ja vaatteet. Olimme villejä ja elimme täysillä ilman huolta huomisesta liikkumalla Jenkkiautoilla ympäri Suomea ja Ruotsia eri tapahtumissa.

Valuutanvaihtaja Viipurista on dramaattinen kertomus katupojasta nimeltä Aleksej. Hän asuu suurimman osan ajasta Viipurin kaduilla, ja tulee toimeen vaihtamalla valuuttaa turisteille. Tapahtumat sijoittuvat 1990 luvun alkuun juuri Berliinin muurin hajottua ja Perestroikan alku aikaa. Aleksej asuu muiden kaltaisiensa katulapsien kanssa hylätyssä vanhassa kerrostalossa Viipurin kaupungin laidalla. Sielä heillä on yhteinen asunto mikä on sisustettu osittain varastetuilla sekä löydetyilla tavaroilla. Aleksej on juuri täyttänyt 16 vuotta, ja on asunut koko elämänsä lastenkodissa. Sieltä karattuaan noin vuosi sitten on Aleksej asunut hylätyssä vanhassa kerrostalossa muiden kaltaistensa katupoikien kanssa. Vanhempiaan Aleksej ei koskaan ole tavannut eikä tiedä heistä mitään. Eräänä päivänä ollessaan taas kadulla "töissä" hänet vedetään mukaan pahoinpitelyyn, kun hänen kaverinsa joutuu turistien pahoinpitelemäksi, Aleksej joutuu auttamaan hänen kaveriaan selviytymään tilanteesta. Mutta hänen kaverinsa puukottaa turisteja, joka johtaa yhden turistin kuolemaan. Pojat joutuvat pakenemaan miliisejä ja menemään maan alle, siitä alkaa Aleksejn pitkä seikkailu Venäläisessä suurkaupungissa Pietarissa. Se vie hänet vankiloiden ja suurkaupunkien alamaailman kautta nuoreen aikuiselämään kovan koulun kautta.

Both academia and the real world are showing a vastly increased interest in international logistics. Although this book covers the entire topic, it may not contain sufficient detail to answer all questions. The topic-and the challenge­ is much larger than any single book can cover! A number of people helped us, and their assistance should be recognized. They include Robert L. Argentieri, Eunice Coleman, Patricia J. Daugherty, Robert Derbin, Robert Hannus, Ken Knox, Douglas Long, Eugene L. Magad, Dale S. Rogers, Robert Rouse, John Silvey, and Clyde Kenneth Walter. This book is designed for both the business world and the classroom. A separate Instructor's Manual has been prepared and may be requested on school letterhead from Chapman & Hall. International Logistics 1 Introduction This book is about international logistics and the international logistics system. International means that it will deal with transactions involving indi viduals or firms in more than one nation. Logistics means the organized movement of goods, ser­ vices, and, sometimes, people. Logistics was originally a military term. For exam­ ple, in author Tom Clancy's novel, Red Storm Rising, Russian General Alekseyev thought to himself about a battlefield situation: "The tactics ... no, amateurs dis­ cuss tactics. Professional soldiers study logistics. ,,1 When one speaks of the intema­ tionallogistics system, he means that huge array of carriers, forwarders, bankers, traders, and so on that facilitate international transactions, trades, and movements of goods and services. Communications are important, and a logistics system in­ cludes whatever communication capability it needs.
