|  | Bury Me Standing by Isabel Fonseca
Isabel Fonseca delves into the largely hidden world of the Roma--or Gypsies--in this book. They are a people who have been persecuted for centuries in Europe, and the society they have developed is one which puts little stock in remembering history or respecting European states. Fonseca spent four years with Roma across Europe and listened to their stories. The nomadic existence the Roma lived for centuries is disappearing, and this is a portrait of a society in the midst of profound change. AUTHOR: Isabel Fonseca

 | The Child & the Machine by Alison Armstrong, Charles Casement
This examination of the role of technology in children's lives and education argues that computers don't help most children learn. Painting a compelling picture that the rush to use computers in schools has led to one of the most expensive and least helpful revolutions in the history of education, it argues that there is no evidence that using computers improves reading or writing skills, that the technology used in schools is used poorly because of lack of teacher training, and that indirect costs to children, in the form of reduced art, music, and physical education programs, inhibit their natural development.
