Made in America: From Levi\'s to Barbie to Google

Made in America: From Levi\'s to Barbie to GoogleIt's still a part of the American dream: come up with a useful and fun invention or product, bring it to market and make a fortune selling it, and even end up changing the world in ways large and small. In this colorful, fact-filled book, author and lover-of-all-things-American Nick Freeth chronicles the 210 products that have become a common part of everyday life, but have still made their unique mark on the world. The "Stuff of American Life" ranges from the accidental invention of the world's most successful drink(Coca-Cola); a scientist's "Eureka moment" and creation of a toy based on physics (Slinky); pants made from a fabric tough enough for cowboys that are now worn across the globe (Levi's); 20th-century automotive achievements like the stylish Corvette and luxurious Cadillac; or cutting-edge technology like Windows or Google that continue to change our world today.

Each iconic product was specially photographed and is accompanied by a concise history, fascinating trivia, and key information including manufacture dates and locations, product variations, pop culture references, and more fun "factoids" that trivia buffs will love. As part of his research, Freeth worked with a panel of academics and journalists and contacted each company to gather little-known tidbits about each object and how it came to be Made in America.
