The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work

One good thing about the update to iOS4 (not quite enough to get over the fact that my battery now drains even faster) is the addition of iBooks.
This allows for previews of books.
One preview that I have just read is of Alain de Botton's "The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work" - the first section of this would be a great introduction for a lesson looking at the connectedness of place, as it describes the arrival of containers on a ship: "The Goddess of the Sea" that has travelled across the world.

A nice piece of writing....
Another one pencilled in for SAGT later in the year...
