Activists have exposed startling forms of labor exploitation and environmental degradation in global industries, leading many large retailers and brands to adopt standards for fairness and sustainability.

Firms of Endearment by Rajendra S. Sisodia

Is it Scholarly?

Here are some clues to look for in the catalog record when you are evaluating whether a book is scholarly or popular:

The publisher is either a university press or an academic publisher (such as Routledge, Wiley, Blackwell, etc.).
The description of the book includes "notes and references."

When you have the book in hand, and still aren't sure if it is scholarly, you might want to do a little more digging, perhaps with a couple of quick Google searches:

Who is the author? What are the author's credentials or other sources of expertise?
Does the publisher have a website? If so, what types of books does it publish and what is the process for submitting work for consideration?
