Preface
History About 10 years ago, I began work on a special issue of Transportation Research E. The topic was ‘‘Global Logistics.’’ There were to be papers on Logistics in all sectors of the world, and on flows between those regions. That topic did come to pass; the special issue (Vol. 41, No. 6) was published in 2005. (See http:// authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S1366554505000529) I noted (Bookbinder 2005), in my editorial at that time, that we published the best of the manuscripts submitted, after helping those authors to revise.
