  Barons - Money Power and the...

  Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture. Mike benefited from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation's rural towns and local businesses. 
   
   
   
  Along with Mike McCloskey, listeners will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. 
   
   
   
  These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.

  53% of CPHQ candidates fail the exam. Here’s what successful test-takers do differently. 
  While mastering all the essential concepts and topics can certainly improve your chances of earning your certification, passing the CPHQ has less to do with what you know or even how you apply what you know… 
    
  … and more to do with your overall approach to taking the exam itself. Because the chief difference between those who pass and those who fail comes down to the strategies they use to “beat” the CPHQ exam. 
    
  That’s where this book can help. 
    
  Inside, you’ll discover: 
    
  ●     An easy-to-remember 6-point process for systematically picking apart each question on the CPHQ exam 
  ●     What to do if you don’t end up passing the CPHQ on your first try — and exactly how long this can end up delaying your certification 
  ●     Which type of question makes up more than half of all questions on the exam, and the subtle differences between each type 
  ●     2 full-length practice tests, each with 125 unique questions and detailed explanations to help you identify any knowledge gaps to focus on 
    
  And much more! 
    
  With the 2 full-length practice tests included, you’ll get to simulate the actual testing experience and spot opportunities to improve your score. 
    
  So when the big day rolls around, you’ll be confidently armed with the knowledge, skills, and – more importantly – the strategies needed to pass the CPHQ. 
    
  Become a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality.

  Field Notes from a Waterborne...

  Parimal Bhattacharya

  In the late 2000s, when the three-decade-long Left Front rule in West Bengal was crumbling, Parimal Bhattacharya began to travel outside the well-trodden urban centres to different parts of the region - from the Sundarbans to tribal Jangalmahal, from the outskirts of Kolkata to villages on the Bangladesh border, from the floodplains of the Hooghly to the forests of Simlipal in neighbouring Odisha. 
  There, he encountered: a woman who was branded a witch because she was listed in the census as literate; an island that vanished famously, only to resurface; a paralysed communist who dreams about the death of a river; a forest community who believe they are descendants of the Harappans; an old millworker and his wife who fight the ghosts of a dead industrial town with laughter; a fisherman uprooted by a river eleven times in twenty years; and many more. This book documents the missing narratives of these 'other' Bengalis, the largely invisible majority beyond the bhadralok that the rest of India knows. 
  Moving between the personal and the political, and between travelogue, journal and memoir, Field Notes from a Waterborne Land takes the reader on a journey across a fascinating land peopled with unforgettable characters.  
  The book takes the reader on a journey through the waterborne land of West Bengal, from the outskirts of Kolkata to villages on the Bangladesh border, documenting the missing narratives of the largely invisible majority beyond the bhadralok that the rest of India knows.
