Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>A Year Without Made in China</i> provides you with a thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining account of how the most populous nation on Earth influences almost every aspect of our daily lives. Drawing on her years as an award-winning journalist, author Sara Bongiorni fills this book with engaging stories and anecdotes of her family's attempt to outrun China's reach-by boycotting Chinese made products-and does a remarkable job of taking a decidedly big-picture issue and breaking it down to a personal level.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Praise for <b>A Year Without "Made in China"</b> <p><i>"A wry look at the ingenuity it takes to shun the planet's fastest-growing economy."</i></br> -- Bloomberg News <p><b>"A wry look at the ingenuity it takes to shun the planet's fastest-growing economy."</b> --Bloomberg News <p><b>"The West's dependence on Chinese exports neatly summed up."</b>--<i>The Daily Telegraph</i> <p><b>"What the year-long experiment did achieve was to switch on Bongiorni as a consumer and make her alive to the complexities and shifting power of the international economy."</b> --<i>Financial Times</i> <p><b>"A fascinating and entertaining look at just how much of a challenge an average consumer faces . . . to avoid buying Chinese goods."</b>--<i>Supply Management</i> <p><b>"Bongiorni is a graceful, self-deprecating writer, and her comic adventures in self-imposed inconvenience cast an interesting sideways glance at the personal effects of globalism."</b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>SARA BONGIORNI</b> is a writer and journalist who has worked at news-papers and business publications in California and Louisiana.
