Canadians have quietly altered the face of the world economy with
business models that have changed the way the world
does everything. From developing Java and wireless
e-mail to defining the specifications for XML, Canadians
have sculpted, touched, researched, improved processes
and blazed trails in the world's most innovative companies.
While
fascinating and compelling, these stories are not
well known either in Canada or around the globe. This sets
the stage for Innovation Nation, a fascinating new
book designed to cut through traditional Canadian
modesty and provide a window into the fibre, minds and makeup
of 30 Canadians whom the world needs to know.

 Puckish and insightful, Everything I needed to know about business... features
16 profiles of successful Canadian innovators, and all profits are
being directed to an appropriate charity. "Originally it was going to be 15 Canadian entrepreneurs and businesspeople," Mr. Brody says. "We
put a sixteenth chapter in, on giving back, featuring Jeff Skoll, of
eBay, to talk about the importance of social entrepreneurship. We also
wanted to inspire Canadians and put our money where our mouth was.
We're donating all of our author profits on this book to Junior Achievement
in Canada."
