进入21世纪，物流业在我国发展迅猛，但中国物流业人才却存在巨大缺口。为弥补这一缺陷，出版一些实用的、内容新颖的物流教材意义深远。目前图书市场上的物流教材众多，然而在使用过程中，人们普遍反映图书结构僵化，内容陈旧，对培养懂物流、懂技术、懂英语的应用型人才起不到应有的作用。为了适应当前教学及满足有关从业人员的需要，我们编写了本书。 本书在内容设计上有以下特点： 一是原汁原味。英语能力的提高不仅仅在记诵单词，大量外文的阅读也是非常重要的。本书的内容来自国内外物流供应链领域的相关文献，是读者迅速提高英语水平的较好读物。 二是时效性。本书所选用素材均为国内外最新资料，力争避免选用落后于时代的文字资料，将最前沿的物流管理理念、技术介绍给读者。 三是采用了案例，淡化读者在英文阅读方面惯有的排斥感，增强学习兴趣。 四是实用性。在每课后附有练习，对物流实践大有裨益。 本书涉及物流概论、物流基本要素，如物流运输、库存、仓储、信息管理、物流单证等，以及比较前沿的第三方物流、物流客户服务、供应链管理、全球物流等相关内容。本书共十一章，每章包括精读课文、案例、单词与专业术语、问答题等。
