<b>Invaluable insights into finding diverse investment opportunities in the emergent global economy</b> <p>From Brazilian farmlands to Colombian gold fields, from Chinese shopping malls to Indian hotels, from South African wine country to the boom/bust souks of Dubai, this around-the-world investing field trip explores the nooks and crannies for hidden investment opportunities. <i>World Right Side Up: Investing Across Six Continents</i> is packed with ideas to power your portfolio in the years ahead while teaching you a little fascinating history along the way.
