Somebody's watching me

This week's editing project is a book on how rural villages in China are governed and how the status quo is being changed by government policies and in particular the widespread migration of workers to cities. It's actually not as dull as it sounds. One sentence in particular jumped out at me because I found it so relevant to Unionville, or indeed any small town anywhere in the world: "Any member’s good or bad behavior, including their words, is very likely to be in the public domain and accessible to the whole community."
Next in the pipeline: a book on the often-uneasy relationship between science and religion and then a textbook about responsible journalism. (Yes, really.)
