Hi Dexter. Copyright on the book was 2005. At that time, only about 14% of the textiles coming into the U.S. were from China, the rest from
Caribbean countries and Mexico. The big fight was to keep China from taking over the market. I wonder what the picture is now.

At first I thought it was simply going to be a recap of Homo Deus.

Somewhat less than midway at this point.. it's gotten great, IMO.Brazzers Youporn Xhamster

Currently, I am working on Programming JavaSript Applications and consider this topic very interesting. I read an article https://habr.com/en/post/440992/ that encouraged me to go deep into the subject and read technical literature. Having plunging more and more in programming I even reflected over changing my career (I have a sociology degree) or at least make it my new hobby. Apart from it, I enjoy reading classic novels by Somerset Maugham, Jack London, etc. for aesthetical purposes. I also think that science fiction is fascinating and often contain some real messages/predictions of what awaits us in the future.

Just finished The French Photographer by Natasha Lester. Very enjoyable - tells a fictional tale of a woman photographer during World War II and the problems they encountered in being taken seriously. They weren't allowed to go to the front, needed permission to go to a war zone and had to wait for the male journalists to submit their copy at the end of the day before they could submit theirs. Based on true journalists from the time.

I recently re-read 'Vida', Marge Piercy's novel about 1960s radicals. A much neglected writer these days.

I'm reading a very technical book. I just want to learn about this industry.

I purchased it after a quick chat with the writer. He recommended The Appraisal of Heavy Equipment. The writer is John Craughan someone with decades of experience in heavy machinery especially road and constructions. Apart from being knowledgeable he is very approachable. I might write an blog post about it on our academic writing blog and provide some insight about this. This book provides very good information for any absolute beginner who wants to get some industry exposure.
