Every spring thousands of middle-class and lower-incomehigh-school seniors learn that they have been rejected by America’smost exclusive colleges. What they may never learn is how manycandidates like themselves have been passed over in favor ofwealthy white students with lesser credentials—children of alumni,big donors, or celebrities.

Based on two years of investigative reporting and hundredsof interviews with students, parents, school administrators, andadmissions personnel—some of whom risked their jobs to speak to theauthor—The Price of Admission exposes the corrupt admissionspractices that favor the wealthy, the powerful, and thefamous.

This comprehensive guide introduces Body-Mind Centering, theinternationally recognized field pioneered by dancer andoccupational therapist Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. Devotingthirty-five years to a systematic investigation of the relationsbetween bodily experience and the anatomical maps of science,Bainbridge Cohen independently discovered many of the principlesthat underlie Feldenkrais work, cranial osteopathy, Rolfing, dancetherapy, and Zero Balancing. Experienced BMC practitioner LindaHartley demonstrates the basic philosophy and key elements ofBody-Mind Centering. Drawing on animal and infant movements, shetakes readers through the wondrous realms of Bainbridge Cohen’spantheon—from the 'minds' of the skeletal and muscular systems tothe quite different inner lives of digestive, lymphatic, urinary,respiratory, vocal, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductiveorgans.

When the struggle to save oil-soaked birds and restoreblackened beaches left him feeling frustrated and helpless, JohnFrancis decided to take a more fundamental and personal stand—hestopped using all forms of motorized transportation. Soon afterembarking on this quest that would span two decades and twocontinents, he took a vow of silence that endured for 17 years. Itbegan as a silent environmental protest, but as a youngAfrican-American man, walking across the country in the early1970s, his idea of "the environment" expanded beyond concern aboutpollution and loss of habitat to include how we humans treat eachother and how we can better communicate and work together tobenefit the earth. Through his silence and walking, he learned to listen, and alongthe way, earned college and graduate degrees in science andenvironmental studies. An amazing human-interest story with a vitalmessage, Planetwalker is also an engaging coming-of-agepilgrimage.
YA. Despite impoverishing his family because of his alcoholism, McCourt's father passed on to his son a gift for superb storytelling. He told him about the great Irish heroes, the old days in Ireland, the people in their Limerick neighborhood, and the world beyond their shores. McCourt writes in the voice of the child?with no self-pity or review of events?and just retells the tales. He recounts his desperately poor early years, living on public assistance and losing three siblings, but manages to make the book funny and uplifting. Stories of trying on his parents' false teeth and his adventures as a post-office delivery boy will have readers laughing out loud. Young people will recognize the truth in these compelling tales; the emotions expressed; the de*ions of teachers, relatives, neighbors; and the casual cruelty adults show toward children. Readers will enjoy the humor and the music in the language. A vivid, wonderfully readable memoir.?Patricia Noonan, Prince William Public Library, VA Copyright 19

The pleasure of reading the Education," wrote Alfred Kazin,"is the pleasure of reading a work of literature made up,literally, from historical facts . . . It is the pleasure of seeinghistory come alive, of seeing it move, of seeing behind history tothe actions and actors. It is the pleasure of seeing revealed thehumanity so often concealed in history. His political ideals shaped by two presidentialancestors--great-grandfather John Adams and grandfather John QuincyAdams--Henry Adams was one of the most powerful and original mindsto confront the American scene from the Civil War to the FirstWorld War. Privately printed in 1907 and published to wide acclaimshortly after the author's death in 1918, Adams's Education is lessa memoir and more a work of brilliant history which charts thegreat transformation in nineteenth-century American intellectuallife. A work of profound lyricism, enormous humanity, andremarkable prescience, The Education of Henry Adams presents aworld poised between the certainties
