"The Box" describes how the container became ubiquitous and it's a good read. https://www.amazon.com/Box-Shipping-Container-Smaller-Econom...

If you want a good read on containerization, I'd really recommend reading 'The Box', a history of shipping containers. For a topic that might sound bland, it's fascinating.

It's extremely important. Think of it as friction which matters in the volumens we are talking about here.
There is a great book written about shipping called The Box http://www.amazon.com/The-Box-Shipping-Container-Smaller/dp/...
Really fascinating stuff.
