Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English. 402 pp. Small scratch on the rear cover. Marimekko, Iittala, Artek-many are familiar with these classic design brands, but a surprising number of people are unaware they are from Finland. Yet companies such as Nokia and Fiskars and products such as Angry Birds are known around the world, and the scope of young entrepreneurship in Finland is without parallel. The raw, Nordic climate has always challenged the Finns to come up with extraordinary products and has left its imprint on the country's culture of handicraft. It is a well-known fact that Finns are among the best-educated people in the world. For some time now Finnish school children have scored at or near the top of the worldwide PISA rankings in mathematics and natural sciences conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). And one only has to think of group sauna sessions and other collective rituals to be reminded of Finland's proverbial sense of community. Yet despite all that, or perhaps because of it, the Finns have invented some of the most bizarre competitions and cultural achievements known to man, including wife carrying races and championships in air guitar and mobile phone throwing. The country has also spawned grandmothers who drive top fuel dragsters, world-class snowboarders, and a string of world champion rally drivers. Seller Inventory # 5378
