"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From Library Journal:
Journalist Hamilton examines such diverse elements as a computerized data entry facility in the Philippines; Costa Rica's tropical forests; and Kenya's tourist industry--all to illustrate the complicated web of economic, environmental, and cultural interdependence in the world. The book is well written, raises more questions than it answers, and should be read by anyone interested in what it means that Phoenix's manhole covers are made in India, shoes from Florida are repaired in the Yucatan, and the fire department in Malmo, Sweden reaches its database of street routes by contacting a General Electric computer in Cleveland, Ohio. A section of the book already appeared in the business supplement of the New York Times Magazine . Essential for public and university libraries.
