# One of The Atlantic Books of the Year # A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year # An Amazon.com Editors Pick Best Book of the Year, Science
Looking at the entire range of human evolutionary history, Melvin Konner tells the compelling and complex story of how cross-cultural and universal characteristics of our growth from infancy to adolescence became rooted in genetically inherited characteristics of the human brain. This monumental bookmore than 900 pages long, 30 years in the making, at once grand and intricate, breathtakingly inclusive and painstakingly particular exhaustively explores the biological evolution of human behavior and specifically the behavior of children.
BENJAMIN SCHWARZ, THE ATLANTIC
Konner gives a detailed and expansive overview of what the fields of anthropology, evolutionary biology, psychology and genetics have taught us about human childhood. The book, in fairly accessible language, explains the evolutionary purpose of everything from babies expressions (humans, apparently, are the only animal who can pull off the relaxed friendly smile) to crying, early childhood outbursts and juvenile delinquency.
THOMAS ROGERS, SALON
Konner places childhood firmly within an evolutionary framework in his magisterial bookKonner is an excellent tour guide to the sacred lands of childhood. He has produced a scholarly, detailed and beautifully written studyThe Evolution of Childhood shows that the pleasures of life are linked to the evolutionary imperatives of reproduction and survival, and that we are starting to understand their underlying neural mechanisms.
MORTEN KRINGELBACH, NATURE
[Konners] account of human evolution, and especially of the evolution of childhood, is coherent and compellingThis magisterial book is assuredly the most important analysis of the evolution of childhood yet attempted.

B RAIN S TORM The Flaws in the Science of Sex Differences

REBECCA M. JORDAN-YOUNG
W HAT I S M ENTAL I LLNESS ?

RICHARD J. M C NALLY
Jordan-Young has written a stunning book that demolishes most of the science associated with the dominant paradigm of the development of sex and gender identity, behavior, and orientationShe explains, in exquisite detail, the flaws in the underlying science, from experimental designs that make no statistical sense to conceptually sloppy definitions of male and female sexuality, contradictory results, and the social construction of normality. Her conclusion that the patterns we see are far more complicated than previously believed and due to a wider range of variables will shake up the research community and alter public perception. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) What Jordan-Youngs analysis uncovered is by turns fascinating and appallingThis book is not only a tonic, its also full of scientific insights presented in plain, intelligent prosean absorbing read, if youve ever wondered what was going on in the secret parts of your attic.
SARA LIPPINCOTT, LOS ANGELES TIMES
What Is Mental Illness? cuts through both professional jargon and polemical hot air, to describe the intense political and intellectual struggles over what counts as a real disorder, and what goes into the DSM, the psychiatric bible. In eight compact, well-written chapters, [McNally] points out the high prevalence of mental disorder in the United States, the tendency to create diagnoses to fit with new pharmaceuticals, and the blurred line between distress and disorder that allows grief to be labeled depression and high spirits [labeled] maniaEssential for mental-health professionals, this remarkable book will give diligent lay readers a grasp of genetics, evolutionary psychology, and diagnostic controversies. review) [This] book is the definitive description of the cultural impact of DSM-style empiricism in psychiatry All who long for the replacement of this strange and primitive answer to the question What is mental illness? will find some hope in McNallys analysis of new ways of thinking about caring for patients and understanding the mind.

H OW M ANY F RIENDS D OES O NE P ERSON N EED ? Dunbars Number and Other Evolutionary Quirks
ROBIN DUNBAR
Why do men talk and women gossip, and which is better for you? Why is monogamy a drain on the brain? And why should you be suspicious of someone who has more than 150 friends on Facebook? We are the product of our evolutionary history, and this history colors our everyday livesfrom why we joke to the depth of our religious beliefs. In How Many Friends Does One Person Need? Robin Dunbar uses groundbreaking experiments that have forever changed the way evolutionary biologists explain how the distant past underpins our current behavior. An eclectic collection of essays on humanity and evolution with something for everyone. Dunbar explains, among other things, why monogamists need big brains, why it is worth buying a new suit for an interview, how to interpret an advert in a lonely hearts column, the perils of messing with evolution and, of course, how many friends one person needs (150 as it happens, aka Dunbars number). He speaks with authority and seduces us as only a master storyteller can.

NIOBE WAY
B ILINGUAL Life and Reality

FRANOIS GROSJEAN
Ways moving analysis of the intimate lives of boys challenges the reader to reconsider many of the widely held assumptions about what it means to grow up male in America today. By sharing their stories of loss, their fears of rejection, their hopes and dreams of connection, Way introduces us to the world of adolescent males so that we can see them as they are and not as we may have imagined.
PEDRO A. NOGUERA, AUTHOR OF THE TROUBLE WITH BLACK BOYS
# A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year
In this book, Franois Grosjean explores the many facets of bilingualism drawing on research, interviews, autobiographies, and the engaging examples of bilingual authors. This book shows that speaking two or more languages is not a sign of intelligence, evasiveness, cultural alienation, or political disloyalty. For millions of people, its simply a way of navigating the complexities of life. Grosjean shows that we still need to fight against the monolingual mindset that has long tended to categorize bilingual speakers as somehow different or unusual. Bilingual: Life and Reality is a useful and very readable contribution to that ongoing struggleIt is worth having at ones fingertips the unpretentiously presented, solidly researched facts and figures in this gentle, humorous, civilized book.
MELA SARKAR, MONTREAL GAZETTE
In Ways groundbreaking Deep Secrets, boys who have long been obscured by cultural myths come alive and let us all in on their most promising, most human dimensions. This is a book that should start educators and parents rethinking how we support our sons lives.
MICHAEL C. REICHERT, COAUTHOR OF REACHING BOYS, TEACHING BOYS
A much needed and insightful book. Niobe Way rescues us from the simplistic view that boys will be boys to reveal the depth of boys emotional lives. From her careful and extensive research over two decades comes a compelling and memorable portrait of real boys lives.
GARY BARKER, AUTHOR OF DYING TO BE MEN 2011 336 pp. Cloth $24.95 / 18.95

The personal dimension of the book contributes to its readability and vitality. Grosjean succeeds in impressing on his readers the need to demystify bilingualism and seek ways in which to encourage linguistic diversity.

The Evolutionary Origins of Mutual Understanding

SARAH BLAFFER HRDY
Somewhere in Africa, more than a million years ago, a line of apes began to rear their young differently than their Great Ape ancestors. From this new form of care came new ways of engaging and understanding each other. Hrdys conception of early human society is far different from the classic sociobiological view of a primeval nuclear family, with dad off hunting big game and mom tending the cave and the kids. Instead, Hrdy paints a picture of a cooperative breeding culture in which parenting duties were spread out across a network of friends and relatives. The effect on our development was profound.
JULIA WALLACE, SALON
To explain the rise of cooperative breeding among our forebears, Hrdy synthesizes an array of new research in anthropology, genetics, infant development, comparative biology.

# Eleanor B. Maccoby Book Award, American Psychological Association
# Social Policy Best Authored Book Award, Society for Research on Adolescents
Katherine Nelson re-centers developmental psychology with a revived emphasis on development and change, rather than foundations and continuity. A child is always part of a social world, yet the childs experience is private. So, Nelson argues, we must study children in the context of the relationships, interactive language, and culture of their everyday lives. An immensely rich, fascinating, and exciting book that describes development from infancy as the evolution of a private mind that is different from every other private mind and that gradually unfolds as the child enters the meaning-sharing of a community of minds through the first five years of lifeThis book evokes feelings of exuberance and vitality in the readerAnyone interested in the unfolding of the developmental processes will appreciate her writing and the rich information that she provides.

What should we do with teenagers who commit crimes? Adult time for adult crime has been the justice systems mantra for the last twenty years. But locking up so many young people puts a strain on state budgetsand ironically, the evidence suggests it ultimately increases crime. What makes [this] book so valuable is that it can be relied upon by judges, legislatures, lawyers, and policymakers to enhance the sophistication with which they consider the very issues that they are currently being called on to decideLawmakers already look to Scott and Steinbergs earlier work when they address how the law should respond to juvenile crime, and this book should only enhance the sophistication of those lawmaking efforts.

VASUDEVI REDDY
Most psychologists claim that we begin to develop a theory of mindsome basic ideas about other peoples mindsat age two or three, by inference, deduction, and logical reasoning. But does this mean that small babies are unaware of minds? Vasudevi Reddy deals with the persistent problem of other minds by proposing a second-person solution: we know other minds if we can respond to them. And we respond most richly in engagement with them. Reddy describes how babies as young as eight months can fake crying and laughter. She talks of nine-month-olds who, unwilling to stop playing, feign deafness despite their mothers calls; and of babies not yet one year old acting innocent when caught doing something forbidden. By the time the children in Reddys studies were 2 1/2 they were indulging in face-saving lies, often ready to blame siblings, to avoid punishment. However, as familiar as Reddys observations may seem to many of us, she is challenging the established line.
JO CARLOWE, THE TIMES
Reddys work has direct bearing on the methods we use in engaging with infants, whether it is for research or personal relationships.

BERNARD CHAPAIS
In The Long Shadow of Temperament, the authors summarize the results of a unique inquiry into human temperaments, one of the bestknown longitudinal studies in developmental psychology. These results reveal how deeply certain fundamental temperamental biases can be preserved over development. [This] book stands alongside Kagans previous works in terms of being thoughtful and stimulating. Regardless of the extent to which one agrees with Kagan and Snidmans assertions about the role of temperament, their concept of how it interacts with parenting and context, or their ideas regarding the degree to which it is genetic, the authors are always interesting and thought provoking. Together, Kagan and Snidman have provided a timely work on the relationship between biology and psychology that many readers will find provocative.

C HILD S OLDIERS From Violence to Protection

MICHAEL WESSELLS
Compelling and humane, this book reveals the lives of the 300,000 child soldiers around the world, challenging stereotypes of them as predators or a lost generation. Kidnapped or lured by the promise of food, protection, revenge, or a better life, children serve not only as combatants but as porters, spies, human land mine detectors, and sexual slaves. Nearly one-third are girls, and Michael Wessells movingly reveals the particular dangers they face from pregnancy, childbirth complications, and the rejection they and their babies encounter in their local contexts. Provides a thorough introduction to the myriad problems and possibilities associated with an estimated 300,000 children who participate in military units on almost every continent.

Allens book is comprised of ten chapters that collectively fulfill the promise of the introductory chapter to provide the reader with an in-depth exploration of the current knowledge of the brainAnyone who wanted to philosophize about mind should first spend a year studying the brain in a hands-on laboratory setting. If doing so is not possible then reading Allens book is a good substituteThe Lives of the Brain provides the reader with a comprehensive picture of the state of the knowledge of brain evolution at the beginning of the twenty first century.
BOB LANE, METAPSYCHOLOGY
In The Lives of the Brain, John S. Allen explores the many influences that anatomy, molecular biology, aging, development and culture have on the evolution and functional organization of the human brain. He provides the perspective and foundation to start thinking about brain evolution in a more sophisticated, multidimensional fashion.

How is life related to the mind? The question has long confounded philosophers and scientists, and it is this so-called explanatory gap between biological life and consciousness that Evan Thompson explores in Mind in Life. This is a highly impressive work, of considerable scope, importance, and originalityFor philosophers of biology, as for cognitive scientists and philosophers of mind, Mind in Life is sure to become essential reading.

Offering the first comprehensive account of the evolutionary origins of art and storytelling, Brian Boyd explains why we tell stories, how our minds are shaped to understand them, and what difference an evolutionary understanding of human nature makes to stories we love. No one thinks on this scale anymoreBoyds treatment is engrossing, as elegant in the writing as the reasoning. It offers a new insight into the question of why some works [of fiction] speak to audiences across cultures and generations.

MICHAEL J. ROSENFELD
An incisive analysis that is both a joy to read and a must read. Williams shows that work-family conflict is not just an issue for womens magazines; it is at the core of what ails America. Changing the way we think about gender in the workplace is the first step toward a more politically potent progressive agenda, and this book illuminates the path forward.
HEATHER BOUSHEY, SENIOR ECONOMIST, CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS
Michael Rosenfeld offers a new theory to account for the startling changes in marriage and family in recent years. His argument revolves around the independent life stage experienced by young adults after they leave home but before they start their own families. This independent life stage has reduced parental control over dating and mate selection of their children and has resulted in a rise in interracial and same-sex unions. The most intellectually provocative study of family change in the United States to be published in the past decade.
FRANK F. FURSTENBERG, JR., POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
This book will transform how we think about work and family issues as it shows how gender traditionalism and recent culture wars are fueled by the hidden injuries of class. Long a leader in the work-family field, Williams guides us to solutions that make sense in todays world.

This unsettling and original book offers a radical new understanding of the context-dependent nature of female sexuality. Lisa Diamond argues that for some women, love and desire are not rigidly heterosexual or homosexual but fluid, changing as women move through the stages of life, various social groups, and, most important, different love relationships. [Diamond] delves into the brain science behind lust, love and infatuation, revealing that what draws women toward a particular partner is as much a function of biology as it is anything elseWith her compassionate, understated approach, she has stepped up the business of gender research.

Feeling Backward weighs the costs of the contemporary move to the mainstream in lesbian and gay culture. A brilliant workLove looks fearlessly at literature from the past in which circumstances related to gender tend to produce victims rather than heroines. She establishes that our literature has been affected by homophobia and demands that we consider the implications of this fact. Love contends that we need to look at history and social politics less like Lots wife, whos destroyed by looking back, and more like Odysseus, who listens to the past but isnt destroyed by it. The past haunts us whether we acknowledge it or not; we may be looking forward, as we like to assure ourselves, even as were feeling backward.

This book aims to redress an imbalance: while in the age of feminism much insightful work has been done on womens life history, we poor chaps have been rather overlooked. Essentially, the book asks: What makes a man a man?Bribiescas writes in an intelligent and thoughtful manner. Although he is an eminent scholar in his discipline, biological anthropology, his book is easily digestible by any beginner. Yet it sets out to defend an original line of thought that will be keenly debated by anyone with an interest in the field.

M YTHS ABOUT S UICIDE

THOMAS JOINER
As Peter Gray and Kermyt Anderson reveal, fatherhood actually alters a mans sexuality, rewires his brain, and changes his hormonal profile. Looking at every kind of fatherhoodbeing a father in and out of marriage, fathering from a distance, stepfathering, and parenting by gay malesthis book presents a uniquely detailed picture of how being a parent fits with mens broader social and work lives, how fatherhood evolved, and how it differs across cultures and through time. [This book] will become the standard reference for years to come.

Around the world, more than a million people die by suicide each year. Drawing on a fascinating array of clinical cases, media reports, literary works, and scientific studies, Thomas Joiner dismantles the myths of suicide to bring compassionate and accurate understanding of a massive international killer. In this very readable book, Joiners wide ranging knowledge of the subject leads to deeply penetrating thoughts on the psychology of suicide. He attacks myths from multiple perspectives, drawing on materials from biblical times to the present, scientific research studies and clinical case studies, animal studies, literature, popular culture, and film. The book also advances Joiners own theory of suicide: people who kill themselves feel that they are a burden to their socially significant others and feel alienated from society. Whether readers are beginning students or advanced researchers, they will find an abundance of stimulating thought and data here.
W. FEIGELMAN, CHOICE
Gray and Andersons Fatherhood provides a much needed perspective on mens parenting in general, as well as nuanced discussion of how this parenting varies across cultures, historical periods within cultures, and across individual menEssential reading for anyone interested in fatherhood andan excellent starting point for researchers who want to pursue evolutionarily informed studies of fatherhood.

In the wake of a suicide, the most troubling questions are invariably the most difficult to answer: How could we have known? What could we have done? And always, unremittingly: Why? Written by a clinical psychologist whose own life has been touched by suicide, this book offers the clearest account ever given of why some people choose to die. [Joiners] theory is the most comprehensive yet put forth to explain why some people end their lives. Joiner offers a dizzying array of studies to shore up his argument, and some of the evidence he offers is quite novel for the lay reader.

With Stephen M. Goldfinger Humans are social animals and, in general, dont thrive in isolated environments. Homeless people, many of whom suffer from serious mental illnesses, often live socially isolated on the streets or in shelters. Homelessness, Housing, and Mental Illness describes a carefully designed large-scale study to assess how well these people do when attempts are made to reduce their social isolation and integrate them into the community. The analysis shows that living alone reduces housing retention as well as cognitive functioning, while group homes improve these critical outcomes. Throughout the book, Russell Schutt explores the meaning and value of community for our most fragile citizens. Russell Schutts book combines sociological theory with survey and ethnographic data, analysis of social policy, and concern with the well-being of persons with serious mental illness. It is a model of humane scholarship that should appeal to sociologists and psychologists as well as students in social work and public policy.

Savvy, witty, and sensible, this unique book is both a handbook for defining and completing a research project, and an astute introduction to the neglected history and changeable philosophy of modern social science. Kristin Luker has managed to produce a charming and effective manual on how to get through the research process with most of ones enthusiasm still intact. This is a guidebook for the methodologically bewildered, with an attractive blend of homespun wisdom, illustrated from her own research career, as well as glimpses of herself, her family and her enthusiasmsof which the salsa dancing of the title seems to be onethreaded through a lucid and accessible discussion of the elements of research practiceThis is a refreshing and well-judged guide produced by an engaging writer in touch with a long careers lessons and the changing realities of researching today.

Howard Schuman examines the question-answer process that is basic to polls and surveys. This book is less about the substance of wording effects and more about approaches to interpreting the respondents world, and how surveys can make that world understandablethough often in ways not anticipated by the researcher. Method and Meaning in Polls and Surveys is an exemplar of what social science research should be. It adds significant insight into survey research methods and how survey research can advance the scientific understanding of society.

CAROLA SUREZ-OROZCO, MARCELO M. SUREZOROZCO, AND IRINA TODOROVA
What do children need to grow and develop? And how can their needs be met when parents work? Emphasizing the importance of parental choice, quality of care, and work opportunities, economist Jane Waldfogel guides readers through the maze of social science research evidence to offer comprehensive answers and a vision for change. Drawing on the evidence, Waldfogel proposes a bold new plan to better meet the needs of children in working families, from birth through adolescence, while respecting the core values of choice, quality, and work. In What Children Need, Jane Waldfogel guides us through more closely defined approaches to questions about the effects of parental care and attention and takes a pragmatic view of the way children adapt to variations in their environment.

In the fierce national debate about immigration, too many ignore the millions of children trying to find their way in a society that wants their parents work, does not want to give them rights, but expects them to meet intense academic demands in a language they dont command, in communities from which their families may be expelled. The Surez-Orozcos remarkable study of immigrant students on both coasts challenges us to think about the consequences and to help these children realize their potential.

THOMAS DUMM
In a book sure to inspire controversy, Gene Heyman argues that conventional wisdom about addiction that it is a disease, a compulsion beyond conscious controlis wrong. We have a justice system that treats drug use as a malevolent act of will (to be punished) and a medical profession that treats it as an unfortunate disease (to be cured). Who is right?[Heyman] argues that it is not his fellow medical professionalsThis is a rich book that reverberates far beyond the field of addiction studies. Attentive readers will find in it lessons about debt-financed consumerism, environmental spoliation and the whole, vast range of self-destructive behavior that we engage in out of self-interest.

Dumm asserts that loneliness is the impetus that gives us autonomy, the ability to make decisions on our own terms. Although the feeling may be painful, it is only through loneliness that we become true individuals able to make rational decisions and able to interact with others as rational beings. And, in an odd twist, it is this true sense of self-awareness that leads us to seek the community of others.
ORLI LOW, LOS ANGELES TIMES
For Dumm, loneliness is really about loss. He argues that we have to be willing to reflect on the tragic dimensions of human existence, including the inevitability of our own deaths, to face and ameliorate our lonelinessOnly through earnest reflection and a willingness to examine how we live our lives can the ache of loneliness be transformed into its less painful companion: solitude.

S AVING S CHOOLS From Horace Mann to Virtual Learning

PAUL E. PETERSON
A S G OOD A S I T G ETS What School Reform Brought to Austin

LARRY CUBAN
American public schools were inspired and created largely using the ideas of six education reformers: Horace Mann, John Dewey, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Shanker, William Bennett and James Coleman. In Saving Schools, Paul E. Peterson shows how their dreams went wrong; how public schools became a political football with families and communities on one end of the field and states, courts and federal governments on the other. Peterson sees virtual learning as the solutiontechnology could be used to reinvigorate the personalized approach that public educations founders and philosophers dreamed of.
SUSAN SALTER REYNOLDS, LOS ANGELES TIMES
Larry Cuban takes a richly detailed history of the Austin, Texas, school district, under Superintendent Pat Forgione, to ask the question that few politicians and school reformers want to touch. Given effective use of widely welcomed reforms, can school policies and practices put all children at the same academic level? Are class and ethnic differences in academic performance within the power of schools to change? Austins signal successes amid failure hold answers to tough questions facing urban district leaders across the nation. A marvelously level-headed and gripping account of a school reform process we know all too well, told with sympathy for everyone involved.
DEBORAH MEIER, AUTHOR OF MANY CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND

Oppositional Culture and the Black-White Achievement Gap

ANGEL L. HARRIS
Kids Dont Want to Fail uses empirical evidence to refute the widely accepted hypothesis that the blackwhite achievement gap in secondary schools is due to a cultural resistance to schooling in the black community. The author finds that inadequate elementary school preparationnot negative attitudeaccounts for black students underperformance. Kids Dont Want to Fail is quite remarkable in its detail, care, and depth as a critical empirical examination of the oppositionality hypothesis: the widely held belief that black student underachievement is attributable to a cultural resistance to schooling. Harris writes so clearly and in a style free of jargon that the quantitative emphasis of his study should not prove a barrier to non-specialist readers.

T HE S AME T HING O VER AND O VER How School Reformers Get Stuck in Yesterdays Ideas
FREDERICK M. HESS
Someone Has to Fail looks at the way that unintended consequences of consumer choices have created an extraordinarily resilient educational system, perpetually expanding, perpetually unequal, constantly being reformed, and never changing much. Why do American schools keep failing? As David Labaree shows, the real question is why we expect them to succeed, given the enormous demands we make of them. Labarees answers wont please anyone looking for a big quick fix for American education. But they will fascinate anyone who wants to understand our enduring faith in the public schools.
JONATHAN ZIMMERMAN, AUTHOR OF SMALL WONDER
In this genial and challenging overview of endless debates over school reform, Rick Hess shows that even bitter opponents in debates about how to improve schools agree on much more than they realizeand that much of it must change radically. Cutting through the tangled thickets of right- and left-wing dogma, he clears the ground for transformation of the American school system. Most education books focus on a single aspect of educationpedagogy or school fundingor build an argument around a central theme, such as vouchers or No Child Left Behind. Hess cuts a broader swath, taking a sweeping historical look at the big issues that have shaped education[He] offers an extensive policy primer on the great achievement of American education and the challenges its success has created.
PHIL BRAND, WASHINGTON TIMES

Did Federal Regulation Fix the Schools?

DAVID K. COHEN AND SUSAN L. MOFFITT
American schools have always been locally created and controlled. But ever since the Title I program in 1965 appropriated nearly one billion dollars for public schools, federal money and programs have been influencing every school in America. With incisive clarity and wit, David Cohen and Susan Moffitt argue that enormous gaps existed between policies and programs, and the real-world practices that they attempted to change. Ironically, as the authors observe, the least experienced and least welltrained teachers are often in the most needy schools, so federal support is compromised by the inequality it is intended to ameliorate. If new policies and programs dont include means to create the capability they require, they cannot succeed. We dont know what we need to enable states, school systems, schools, teachers, and students to use the resources that programs offer. The trouble with standards-based reform is that standards and tests still dont teach you how to teach.

T RUE A MERIC AN Language, Identity, and the Education of Immigrant Children

ROSEMARY SALOMONE
T HE B EST OF THE B EST Becoming Elite at an American Boarding School

RUBN GAZTAMBIDEFERNNDEZ
In this ambitious book, Rosemary Salomone uses the heated debate over how best to educate immigrant children as a way to explore what national identity means in an age of globalization, transnationalism, and dual citizenship. She demolishes popular mythsthat bilingualism impedes academic success, that English is under threat in contemporary America, that immigrants are reluctant to learn English, or that the ancestors of todays assimilated Americans had all to gain and nothing to lose in abandoning their family language. In eyeopening comparisons, Salomone suggests that the simultaneous spread of English and the push toward multilingualism in western Europe offer economic and political advantages from which the United States could learn. A valuable contribution to this growing field of research.
DARREN PAFFEY, TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION
For two years, Rubn Gaztambide-Fernndez shared the life of what he calls the Weston School, an elite New England boarding school. Vividly describing the pastoral landscape and graceful buildings, the rich variety of classes and activities, and the official and unofficial rules that define the school, The Best of the Best reveals a small world of deeply ambitious, intensely pressured students. For Gaztambide-Fernndez, Weston is daunting yet strikingly bucolic, inspiring but frustratingly incurious, and sometimes especially for young womena gilded cage for a gilded age. In a book thats both generous and skeptical, Gaztambide-Fernndez penetrates the inner world of a top prep school, and shows how the students first construct, and then rationalize, their elite identities. Filled with irony and insight, The Best of the Best reveals both the opportunities and the casualties of privilege.

Will the United States have an educational caste system in 2030? Drawing on both extensive demographic data and compelling case studies, this powerful book reveals the depth of the education crisis looming for Latinos, the nations largest and most rapidly growing minority group. Richly informative and accessibly written, The Latino Education Crisis describes the cumulative disadvantages that too many children face in the complex American school systems, where one in five students is Latino. Many live in poor and dangerous neighborhoods, attend impoverished and underachieving schools, and are raised by parents who speak little English and are the least educated in any ethnic group. American schools are sleepwalking into a perfect stormrapid demographic changes, an unforgiving global economy, and continually dysfunctional schools. Gndara and Contreras delineate thechallenges of the Latino education crisis with empirical rigor, conceptual clarity, and humane concern. This is the book that everyone who cares about the American future should read and pass on to a friend.

M EASURING U P What Educational Testing Really Tells Us

DANIEL KORETZ
Just how much freedom of speech should high school students have? Does giving children and adolescents a far-reaching right of expression, without joining it to responsibility, ultimately result in an asylum that is run by its inmates? In a clear and lively style, sprinkled with wry humor, Anne Proffitt Dupre examines the way courts have wrestled with student expression in school. Bring[s] fresh perspectives to an always vibrant area of the lawDupre subtly makes the argument that the trend toward greater student speech rights since the 1960s has come at a cost to the larger liberty of a nation.

Why There Are No Bad Schools in Raleigh

GERALD GRANT
A compelling new book.

SANDRA TSING LOH, NEW YORK TIMES ONLINE
Something extraordinary has been happening in [North Carolinas] schools over the past few decades, and the best guide to this experiment is an important new book by Gerald GrantHe found that the single biggest factor determining whether you do well at school or not isnt your parents, your teachers, your school buildings or your genes. It was, overwhelmingly, the other kids sitting in the classroom with youIf a critical mass of them are hard-working, keen and stick to the rules, you will probably learnWithin a decade, Raleigh went from one of the worst-performing districts in America to one of the best.
JOHANN HARI, THE INDEPENDENT
A rare policy book: brief, personal, and flat-out persuasive. Comparing the catastrophically bad school system in Syracuse, where he lives, with the astonishingly successful one in the North Carolina capital, the author quickly alights on a convincing explanation for the disparity.

The American educational system has made America the richest nation in the world. During the first eight decades of the twentieth century, the increase of educated workers was higher than the demand for them. This had the effect of boosting income and lowering inequality. However, the reverse has been true since 1980. The authors discuss the complex reasons for this, and what might be done to ameliorate it. Essential reading.
THOMAS F. COOLEY, FORBES
A productive read for parents, teachers and policymakers alike[Kirp] leaves his reader with no doubt that our country would be better off if every child had the opportunity to attend a good-quality preschool and walks the reader through the benefits with concrete examples to explain what universal, quality preschool involves. He also makes a clear distinction between quality education and the education our government is currently providing.
AMY ALAMAR, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

# Book of the Year Award Finalist, Education, ForeWord Reviews
Original, useful, and hopeful, this book reminds you that teaching what you dont know, to students whom you may not understand, is not just a job. Its an adventure. As [Huston] demonstrates, teaching outside your area of competence is almost the norm in the U.S. academyThe hints and tips provided here will be valuable perhaps everywhere that there is a higher education systemThe book, which clearly draws on a wide range of teaching experience on the U.S. scene, offers good advice and outlines some useful strategies.
LESLIE GOFTON, TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION
Liberal arts colleges represent a tiny portion of the higher education market, yet produce a stunning percentage of Americas leaders. But the demand for careerrelated education has pressured them to become vocational, distorting their mission and core values. Liberal Arts at the Brink is a wake-up call for everyone who values liberal arts education. Well researched and well written, Victor Ferralls warning of the demise of the liberal arts in American higher education should remind us of the difference between intellectually nurtured education for thinking, and occupational training. If we abandon the former for the latter, what happens to American intellectual leadership in an unpredictable future?

21 ST C ENTURY
ROBERT J. STERNBERG
Once upon a time, virtually no one in the academy thought to sue over campus disputes, and, if they dared, judges bounced the case on grounds that it was no business of the courts. Not so today. As Amy Gajda shows in this witty yet troubling book, litigation is now common on campus, and perhaps even more commonly feared. This book explores the origins and causes of the litigation trend, its implications for academic freedom, and what lawyers, judges, and academics themselves can do to limit the potential damage. [A] terrific new book.
STANLEY FISH, NEW YORK TIMES ONLINE
Standardized tests are measures of memory and analytical skills. But the ever-changing global society beyond a college campus needs more than just those qualities, argues Robert Sternberg. Tomorrows leaders and citizens also need creativity, practicality, and wisdom. How can the potential for those complex qualities be measured? Sternberg explores new kinds of assessments, like Kaleidoscope, that can liberate many colleges and students from the narrowness of standardized tests and inspire new approaches to teaching for new kinds of talented, motivated citizens of the world. Drawing on his own research in the laboratory and in the admissions office, the distinguished psychologist and educator Robert Sternberg has broadened our vision of how college admissions can be carried out and outlined the resulting benefits for our society.
HOWARD GARDNER
Gajda considers how the more general litigation revolution has affected academia, with students and professors turning increasingly to the courts to resolve issues over grades, claims made in research and scholarship, teacher evaluations, etc[A] lively, readable book.

Michle Lamont observed deliberations for fellowships and research grants, and interviewed panel members at length. In How Professors Think, she reveals what she discovered about this secretive, powerful, peculiar world. This fair-minded and reader-friendly book might just help produce the trust, respect, and tolerance necessary for academic community. By closely examining scholarly evaluation and identifying distinctive disciplinary definitions of quality among the humanities and social sciences, Michle Lamont shows that academic culture, far from being a hierarchy declining from supposedly more rigorous and demanding disciplines to those less so, is constituted of many different excellencies.

It is not every day that you get a meticulous analysis of higher education budgetary mechanisms within the same covers as reflections on Robert Pirsigs Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Parents who worry about the rising price tag of college, who wonder what they are getting for their dollar, who want to know if College X is a better buy than College Y, will find Getzs wellsupported arguments and data wonderfully revealing.

This trenchant study analyzes the rise and decline in the quality and format of science in America since World War II. Science-Mart attributes this decline to a powerful neoliberal ideology in the 1980s which saw the fruits of scientific investigation as commodities that could be monetized, rather than as a public good. Consequently, patent and intellectual property laws were greatly strengthened, universities demanded patents on the discoveries of their faculty, information sharing among researchers was impeded, and the line between universities and corporations began to blur. Eminently thought-provoking, this book places the contemporary economics of science in a context that combines political economy and intellectual history.

Patriotic Pluralism shows that Americanization through education helped transform white immigrants from southern and central Europe into citizens--partly because the immigrant communities used their newspapers, churches, synagogues, and their own schools, to change Americas image of itself. America became a nation of immigrants, dedicated to the ideals of inclusion and democracy, as it faced twentieth century totalitarianism abroad. Its an impressive book and a wonderfully told story.

When subjected to the tensions of a powerful nation in a tumultuous era, the timeless appeals of poetry will naturally take distinctive and surprising forms.

This humane, at times exhaustingly detailed literary history dignifies, against the critics aesthetic judgments, the comfort, pleasure and emotional richness readers found in popular poetry. And as a social historian, Rubinsucceeds in showing how this poetry was adopted by educators, churches, immigrant groups and other organizations to promote various social and cultural goals.

Although the 1920s are often associated with ethnic and racial intolerance, Diana Seligs elegantly crafted study identifies a counter-current in a cultural gifts movement that celebrated Americas ethnic diversity while battling against the prevailing nativism of the decadeWhatever the shortcomings of the cultural gifts movement, one leaves this fine study with renewed appreciation of the work of these multicultural pioneers. If Americans today are not fighting ethnic, religious, and even racial battles in their streets, it is, in some small measure, thanks to their efforts.
