Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters for The New York Times , Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn spent 14 years covering
Asia. Their talent, insight and experience shine in this informative, provocative look at the region’s economic rise and diverse cultures. The authors brilliantly weave economic, political and historical data into chapters that tell the stories of the struggles and triumphs of ordinary people from all walks of life. From their understanding of Asian economies to their perceptions about the ambitions, emotions and determination that shape individual lives, the authors create a verbal photo album of Asian culture. getAbstract highly recommends this beautifully written page-turner to all readers.
