International cooperation is essential for fostering global connectivity and building resilient logistics systems. Geopolitical shifts and climate change present significant challenges that could disrupt the efficient operation of these systems. In the face of global instability, diversification and redundancy in transportation systems and modes are vital, with supply security forming the backbone of the global economy's smooth functioning. How can the resilience of value chains be bolstered amidst geopolitical pressures while navigating these dual transitions? How can logistics adapt to and capitalize on the new wave of potentially protectionist industrial policies? What strategies can be employed to mitigate risks, particularly for Europe, Italy, and the businesses involved?

The book presents a simplified and modernized version of one of the most successful bidding systems of all times, the Blue Club. One of the main modifications is the use of both high card and distribution points in the evaluation of the hand strength. Benito Garozzo, the creator of the original Blue Club system, says in the foreword: "The simplifications and the introduction of some standard bidding make it easier to learn the system, to remember it and use it, but still keep it precise..... I believe the way in which the book presents the system is the best way, logical and well-structured. Thus, the book is excellent for bridge players who want to learn and try a 'strong club' system to become more competitive."
