suffice to say that this book is a total outlier in terms of number of tags I used; most of my books have 2-5 tags, this one has got 14!: anthropology, biology, business, cooperation, design, education, innovation, networks, philosophy, read, science, spiritual, technology, work

Can serve as a good reference book for subject areas you are not familiar with.
