  Vanishing Life on Earth

  The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
  existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
  history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
  The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
  have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
  The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
  selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
  microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
  Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
  and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
  diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

  Global "Body Shopping" - An...

  How can America's information technology (IT) industry predict serious labor shortages while at the same time laying off tens of thousands of employees annually? The answer is the industry's flexible labor management system--a flexibility widely regarded as the modus operandi of global capitalism today. Global "Body Shopping" explores how flexibility and uncertainty in the IT labor market are constructed and sustained through concrete human actions. Drawing on in-depth field research in southern India and in Australia, and folding an ethnography into a political economy examination, Xiang Biao offers a richly detailed analysis of the India-based global labor management practice known as "body shopping." In this practice, a group of consultants--body shops--in different countries works together to recruit IT workers. Body shops then farm out workers to clients as project-based labor; and upon a project's completion they either place the workers with a different client or "bench" them to await the next placement. Thus, labor is managed globally to serve volatile capital movement. Underpinning this practice are unequal socioeconomic relations on multiple levels. While wealth in the New Economy is created in an increasingly abstract manner, everyday realities--stock markets in New York, benched IT workers in Sydney, dowries in Hyderabad, and women and children in Indian villages--sustain this flexibility.

  A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
  		 
  For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
  		 
  Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
  		 
  With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.
