Bangkok--29 Sep--Marketwire In a pivotal election year, author Susan D. Matz challenges all Americans to know their world through her newest book "Pay Attention!" As critics and international news sources describe Americans as some of the most "unaware" people on the planet, Ms. Matz provides a fast track for people to understand the world in approximately 100 pages. Knowing the whole world -- every country and key international organizations -- can be accomplished in a two hour read. While most people have to wade through vast amounts of information and experts to understand their country and world -- Susan Matz gets right to the point. Her book keeps global affairs short and simple for all audiences. "Americans get inundated with 'experts du jour' and are not always presented with what's really important," said author and teacher Susan D. Matz. "Facts change constantly, and at some point we have to understand that there is a bottom line to grasp, and without knowing that we are powerless in our country and in the world." After years of teaching adults about the world they live in, everything from the "basics" to a more in-depth look at the world, Susan Matz says "Americans are smart and driven, however, they can be insular when it comes to global awareness. This book encourages them to become internationally knowledgeable and sophisticated." "Pay Attention!" is now available for those who want to know their world and feel powerful in it.
