内容提要本书在设计内容上有以下特点：
一是原汁原味。英语能力的提高不在记诵单词，而在大量外文的阅读。本书的内容整理编辑来自国内外物流供应链领域文献，是读者迅速提高的绝佳读物；
二是时新性。本书选用素材均为近一两年来国内外最新资料，力争避免选用落后于时代的文字资料；
三是图文并茂，淡化读者在英文阅读方面惯有的排斥感，增强兴趣；
四是实用性。
在每单元后附有大量练习，均对物流实践大有裨益，诸如口语对话练习、大量企业案例、通用国际惯例、实用物流术语习语以及物流企业、组织介绍。
编辑推荐本书是高职、高专和中等职业技术院校物流管理专业公共必修课教材，注重可操作性，也可作为各类大专院校物流管理和相关专业教学用书，同时作为各类物流从业人员或者有志投身于600万人才缺口物流领域的人士之自学书籍。
