  Where Am  I Wearing? traces the author's journey from Honduras, to  Bangladesh, to Cambodia, to China, and back again to discover the  origins of his favorite clothes, including his sandals, pants,  boxers, and t-shirt.   It intimately describes the connection between impoverished garment  workers' standards of living and the all-American material  lifestyle.  It is a  personal and intimate look at globalization and outsourcing,  answering the questions: "How are the lives of foreign workers  affected?", "Why are these workers so poor?", and "How guilty  should we feel?"   Timmerman's  travels to the people who made his clothes reveal that  globalization isn't a black or white, good or bad, issue.  It's much more  complex.  Where Am  I Wearing? bridges the gap between global producers and  consumers by introducing readers to the human elements of  globalization  names, personalities, hopes, and dreams   with the economic and political elements serving as a  backdrop.  Whether it  be bowling a few frames with workers in Cambodia, riding a roller  coaster with workers in Bangladesh, or dining on their floor during  a power outage, the book puts a face on the impersonal force of  globalization.  Not  only does it show readers why they should care about the workers  that make their clothes, it gives them a reason to care.  In  this revision, Kelsey completes the story by travelling back to a  small village in Honduras to find a key garment worker from the  first edition.   However, he is  now living in California. Kelsey heads north from Honduras to track  him down, and discovers him living a double life, with a new,  expecting, American wifewhile continuing to support his  Honduran girlfriend and kids back home.  The man shares his complex  story of love and sacrifice, heartache and hope, and life as an  illegal immigrant.

  The Trouble with Tea - The...

  How tea’s political meaning shaped the culture and economy of the Anglo-American world. 
   
  Americans imagined tea as central to their revolution. After years of colonial boycotts against the commodity, the Sons of Liberty kindled the fire of independence when they dumped tea in the Boston harbor in 1773. To reject tea as a consumer item and symbol of “taxation without representation” was to reject Great Britain as master of the American economy and government. But tea played a longer and far more complicated role in American economic history than the events at Boston suggest. 
   
  In The Trouble with Tea, historian Jane T. Merritt explores tea as a central component of eighteenth-century global trade and probes its connections to the politics of consumption. Arguing that tea caused trouble over the course of the eighteenth century in several different ways, Merritt traces the multifaceted impact of that luxury item on British imperial policy, colonial politics, and the financial structure of merchant companies. Merritt challenges the assumption among economic historians that consumer demand drove merchants to provide an ever-increasing supply of goods, thus sparking a consumer revolution in the early eighteenth century. 
   
  The Trouble with Tea reveals a surprising truth: that concerns about the British political economy, coupled with the corporate machinations of the East India Company, brought an abundance of tea to Britain, causing the company to target North America as a potential market for surplus tea. American consumers only slowly habituated themselves to the beverage, aided by clever marketing and the availability of Caribbean sugar. Indeed, the “revolution” in consumer activity that followed came not from a proliferation of goods, but because the meaning of these goods changed. By the 1750s, British subjects at home and in America increasingly purchased and consumed tea on a daily basis; once thought a luxury, tea had become a necessity. This fascinating look at the unpredictable path of a single commodity will change the way readers look at both tea and the emergence of America. 
   
  “By tackling a commodity we think we already know in its political, economic, and cultural dimensions, Jane T. Merritt demonstrates that the true story of tea is more complex and global than readers might expect. The Trouble with Tea is a surprising and detailed look at how the long-term moral debates over tea overlapped with and offered a vocabulary for the politicized debates of the Revolutionary War era.” —Ellen Hartigan-O’Connor, author of The Ties that Buy: Women and Commerce in Revolutionary America 
   
  “Long before Bostonians dumped tea overboard, tea was trouble: as trading companies pushed it and consumers sipped it, tea sparked debates over free trade and dangerous luxuries. With her wide-ranging command of global commerce and domestic politics, Merritt tells a vital tale about how tea shaped our world.” —Benjamin L. Carp, author of Defiance of the Patriots: The Boston Tea Party and the Making of America

She focuses on time management strategies today's executives can use to quickly obtain profitable, productive results by managing the intersection between two critical values: effectiveness and efficiency.

Efficiency is accomplishing them with the least time, effort, and cost possible-doing things right. If you're not clear on both, you're wasting your time. As Drucker put it, "There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all."

For each practice she offers tips, techniques, and advice based on her work with individuals and organizations all over the world.
