And Now for Another Kind of Class

Finished my "class" in indexing elementary math textbooks. Long project, somewhat tedious, but good money. And yesterday I wrapped up the index for the book on Tom Lea, WWII combat artist. A riveting story with adventures from England to China to Peleliu Island in the South Pacific. War is definitely hell. Please strive to avoid it whenever possible.

And now, for social class. In America, class is often considered a dirty word because we have quite a bit of potential economic mobility here, but class still exists and is a major factor in how well people do in our society. Starting from the bottom is still really difficult even when the barriers to progress are not official. They are still formidable. This social science book from the Russell Sage Foundation should shed some light on how class currently impacts people's lives here. I'll pass on more when I get into the details.
