Summary
Funny, irreverent, and fast-paced, "The Peon Book" is a breath of fresh air and a strong dose of reality that managers may or may not want to swallow. It promotes the crucial viewpoint that is often overlooked by business books: that of the average worker, here called "the Peon."

We know that we are made of cells. But we start out as just one tiny little cell in the womb. How does that become enough cells to look like a baby? And how does that baby get enough cells to become an adult? The answer is mitosis! This is how cells divide to produce new cells with all the DNA for that organism. How does this work? Let's find out!

Summary
In 2003 a group of Year 9 students from a predominantly white, middle class school travel by bus to remote Aboriginal settlements in central Australia. Nearly 40 years ago a group of white and black Australians travelled through outback NSW on the so-called Freedom Ride. Gary Foley tells the story. The programme examines how those bus trips affected the lives of the participants and, in the case of the Freedom Ride, how it served to highlight issues of inequality between white and indigenous Australians. Through these journeys the programme poses important questions: how much have we learned as a society about equal access and opportunity for all our citizens? How much have we learned about tolerance and understanding? 'How Far Have We Come' was nominated for an ATOM (Aust Teachers of Media) award for Best Indigenous Resource, 2004.

Summary
An anthropologist uncovers how "great coffee" depends not just on taste, but also on a complex system of values worked out among farmers, roasters, and consumers. What justifies the steep prices commanded by small-batch, high-end Third Wave coffees? Making Better Coffee explores this question, looking at highland coffee farmers in Guatemala and their relationship to the trends that dictate what makes "great coffee." Traders stress material conditions of terroir and botany, but just as important are the social, moral, and political values that farmers, roasters, and consumers attach to the beans. In the late nineteenth century, Maya farmers were forced to work on the large plantations that colonized their ancestral lands. The international coffee market shifted in the 1990s, creating demand for high-altitude varietals--plants suited to the mountains where the Maya had been displaced. Edward F. Fischer connects the quest for quality among U.S. tastemakers to the lives and desires of Maya producers, showing how profits are made by artfully combining coffee's material and symbolic attributes. The result is a complex story of terroir and taste, quality and craft, justice and necessity, worth and value.

Summary
This remarkable book is about everything from echidnas to evolution, cosmology to cooking, sex and science and spirits to Schr dinger's cat. Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from an Indigenous perspective. He asks how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently? Sand Talk provides a template for living. It's about how lines and symbols and shapes can help us make sense of the world. It's about how we learn and how we remember. It's about talking to everybody and listening carefully. It's about finding different ways to look at things. Most of all it's about Indigenous thinking, and how it can save the world.

Summary
From Chinatown to Every Town explores the recent history of Chinese immigration within the United States and the fundamental changes in spatial settlement that have relocated many low-skilled Chinese immigrants from New York City's Chinatown to new immigrant destinations. Using a mixed-method approach over a decade in Chinatown and six destination states, sociologist Zai Liang specifically examines how the expansion and growing popularity of Chinese restaurants has shifted settlement to more rural and faraway areas. Liang's study demonstrates that key players such as employment agencies, Chinatown buses, and restaurant supply shops facilitate the spatial dispersion of immigrants while simultaneously maintaining vital links between Chinatown in Manhattan and new immigrant destinations.
