Product Details
Made in America:From Levi's to Barbie to Google    
 
Author: Nick Freeth

The stuff of American life! It's at the heart of the American Dream: Invent a new product that fills a need, strikes a nerve or just seems like good fun and then--bang! Amass a fortune selling it to the world!

Made in America tells over 200 such stories of "the little (and big) products that could." Inventions and innovations that changed the world in ways both large and small.

Trivia fans and American history buffs will love these quick fact-filled profiles revealing tidbits like:
- Colonel Sanders launched KFC at the ripe age of 65.
- Charles Goodyear was forced to sell the dinner service and dine from rubber plates.
- Leo Fender, inventor of the famed Stratocaster, never learned to play the guitar.

It's all the stuff of American life!
