Leonard Cassuto
“Cassuto presents astute summaries of the history of graduate
education in America as a foundation for specific approaches to
reconceiving it…A thoughtful, clearly written analysis.”
—Elizabeth Hayford, Library Journal
“Cassuto offers a thoughtful and well-researched look at the broader
ills of academia through the lens of graduate education programs.”

Inside Graduate
Admissions
Merit, Diversity, and
Faculty Gatekeeping
Julie R. Posselt
“Politicians, judges, journalists,
parents and prospective students
subject the admissions policies
of undergraduate colleges
and professional schools to
considerable scrutiny, with much
public debate over appropriate
criteria. But the question of who
gets into Ph.D. programs has
by comparison escaped much
discussion. That may change with
the publication of Inside Graduate
Admissions…While the departments
reviewed in the book remain secret,
the general process used by elite
departments would now appear
to be more open as a result of
Posselt’s book.”

Lessons in Censorship
How Schools and Courts Subvert Students’ First Amendment Rights
Catherine J. Ross
HA
Concurring Opinions Best Book of the Year
“Ross…makes a compelling case in Lessons in Censorship for
the importance of according students free speech not only as
a constitutional right, but also as a vital democratic practice.”
—Joan Wallach Scott, The Nation
“Turn the pages of Lessons in Censorship and you will discover
what it means for students to think freely and how courts have
fashioned baseless arguments designed to squelch such thinking…
A book that should be read and discussed by school officials at all
levels of education.”
—Ronald K. L. Collins, Concurring Opinions

Divergent Paths
The Academy and the Judiciary
Richard A. Posner
“A valuable contribution to debates over the future of federal courts
and law schools alike…Posner is, as always, uniformly sensible and
frequently brilliant.”
—Kermit Roosevelt, New York Times Book Review
“A trenchant dissection of both the academy and the judiciary’s flaws…
Equal parts edifying and entertaining.”
—Mark Joseph Stern, Slate

Why Torture Doesn’t Work
The Neuroscience of Interrogation
HA
n Irish Examiner Best Book of the Year
HA
Times Higher Education Book of the Week
Shane O’Mara
“A meticulously researched book…As O’Mara shows, torture
techniques are mentally debilitating, affecting memory as well
as mood, and thereby compromise the capacity of victims to
form and deliver a reliable account of any information that they
may be withholding. Not only is torture morally deplorable,
therefore, but its outcome is also entirely unpredictable.”
—Giovanni Frazzetto, Financial Times

A Natural History of Human Morality
What Works
Michael Tomasello
Gender Equality by Design
“If you’re after a definitive guide to explain how humans
became an ultra-cooperative and, eventually, moral species,
this must be it.”
Iris Bohnet
—New Scientist
“This is an extremely worthwhile addition to the literature
on the evolution of morality. It is well written and strikes an
excellent balance between easy accessibility and nuanced
and novel ideas.”
—Richard Joyce, author of The Evolution of Morality

Education and the Commercial Mindset
Samuel E. Abrams
“Abrams describes eloquently the disconnect between the optimism underlying for-profit companies’ efforts to improve urban
education and the realities that their schools faced. He also describes the history of KIPP charters, their accomplishments, and
the limits of the KIPP model as a strategy for improving the life
chances of urban children growing up in low-income families.”
—Richard J. Murnane, co-author of Restoring Opportunity

“Right up to board level, companies
should find in What Works not only
food for thought [about gender
bias], but a guide for effective
practical action as well.”
—Sarah Gordon, Financial Times
“This is a must-have guide for
anyone in charge of a diversity
budget.”
—Julie Chappell,
Management Today
“Provides a useful introduction to
all the available evidence showing
there is a business, as well as moral,
case for diversity. What Works
speaks to CEOs in a language they
will understand, taking the emotion
out of the argument and making
a pragmatic case for reshaping
workplace norms to make women
feel less alienated.”

The Language Animal
The Full Shape of the Human Linguistic Capacity
Charles Taylor
“Just as Humboldt believed that ‘possessing a language is to be
continuously involved in trying to extend its powers of articulation,’
Charles Taylor’s new book, The Language Animal, demonstrates how
the very study of language over time embodies the evolving human
effort to extend our understanding—not only of language, but of the
very self language helps to describe, propel, and transcend. It is a
deeply thoughtful, historically enriching, and ultimately luminous book.”
—Maryanne Wolf, Tufts University

“[Edmundson’s] bold and ambitious new book is partly a demonstration of
what a ‘real education’ in the humanities, inspired by the goal of ‘human
transformation’ and devoted to taking writers seriously, might look like…
[It] quietly sets out to challenge many educational pieties, most of the
assumptions of recent literary studies—and his own chosen lifestyle.”

How Economics Shapes Science
Paula Stephan
“Economist Paula Stephan takes an exhaustive look at how publicly

and the economy. She argues that expanding universities and stagnant
budgets have made funders and scientists more risk-averse, and stunted
the development of young investigators.”

Teaching Effectively with Technology
Michelle D. Miller
“An outstanding book that provides a road map for truly effective online
teaching. What distinguishes [Miller’s] book from much of the research
available on teaching with technology, and pushes it beyond arguments
about improving access, is her emphasis on the ways in which online
teaching tools can actually improve learning for all students—not just
those who have no access to traditional face-to-face classrooms.”
