A Year Without Made in China 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 reachby boycotting Chinese made productsand does a remarkable job of taking a decidedly big-picture issue and breaking it down to a personal level.
