Why CCSS Matters for College Courses:
Higher education attainment is an ultimate goal of the Common Core standards, which
aim to make sure students are college and career-ready by the end of high school. . . . If the
Common Core is implemented as advocates intend, its effects would signicantly alter how
many things work in higher education too. . . . [Transforming] dual enrollment programs,
placement tests, and remediation. They could force colleges within state systems, and even
across states, to agree on what it means to be college ready, and to work alongside K12
to help students who are unprepared for college before they graduate from high school.
In the long run, it could force changes in credit-bearing courses too, to better align with
what students are supposed to have mastered by high school graduation.

LuCkY JIM
By kinsley Amis Introduction by Keith Gessen
This is the story of Jim Dixon, a hapless lecturer in medieval history at a provincial university. Kingsley
Amiss scabrous debut leads the reader through a gallery of emphatically English bores, cranks, frauds,
and neurotics with whom Dixon must contend in one way or another in order to hold on to his cushy
academic perch and win the girl of his fancy.
More than just a merciless satire of cloistered college life and stuffy postwar manners, Lucky Jim is an
attack on the forces of boredom.
Remarkable for its relentless skewering of artice and pretension, Lucky Jim also contains some of
the nest comic set pieces in the language. Olivia Laing, The Observer

SOLL OF THE ACE: A Biograpby of tbe MinJ of Wiiam Sbakespeare
By Jonatban Bate
Finalist for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography
In this highly innovative study, structured around the famous monologue from As You Like It, All the
worlds a stage, Bate surveys the beliefs and obsessions of the Elizabethan world in which
Shakespeare was an infant, a schoolboy, a lover, an intellectual, a philosopher, a litigant, and a writer.
The most artful, intriguing, and satisfying study of the mind of William Shakespeare we now
possess. No other biography has used Shakespeares works so resourcefully to shed light on his
life. Amajor achievement from a master of Shakespeare studies.

THE wASTE LAND AND OTHER wRITINgS
By T. S. Eliot Introduction by Mary Karr
First published in 1922, The Waste Land is T. S. Eliots masterpiece, and is not only one of the key
works of modernism, but also one of the greatest poetic achievements of the twentieth century. Arichly
allusive pilgrimage of spiritual and psychological torment and redemption, Eliots poem exerted a
revolutionary inuence on his contemporaries, summoning forth a rich new poetic language, breaking
decisively with Romantic and Victorian poetic traditions.
In her new Introduction, Mary Karr dispels some of the myths of the great poems inaccessibility and
sheds fresh light on the ways in which The Waste Land illuminates contemporary experience.

MR. TOPPIT: A Novel
By Charles Elton
When Arthur Hayman, an unsuccessful screenwriter turned childrens book author, is accidentally hit
by a cement truck in London, his dying moments are spent with an American tourist who is fated to
bring posthumous fame to his obscure series, The Hayseed Chronicles. Arthurs legacy falls to his widow,
Martha, and their children, the fragile Rachel and Luke, reluctantly immortalized as the ctional Luke
Hayseed, hero of his fathers books.
Mr. Toppit is a darkly comic, thoroughly engaging narrative about a successful writer and the
complicated legacy he leaves to his wife and children, and to the world at large. Charles Eltons
witty and unsettling debut novel explores the emotional turmoil that results when a familys
private history gets transformed into public myth.

TEN PLAYS
By Eripides Translated by Moses Hadas and John McLean
Introduction by Moses Hadas
The rst playwright of democracy, Euripides wrote with enduring insight and biting satire about social
and political problems of Athenian life. In contrast to his contemporaries, he brought an excitingand,
to the Greeks, a stunningrealism to the pure and noble form of tragedy. For the rst time in history,
heroes and heroines on the stage were not idealized. As Sophocles said, Euripides shows people not
as they ought to be, but as they actually are.
Considered by George Bernard Shaw to be the greatest of the Greek dramatists, Euripides is now

THE ESSENTIAL wRITINgS Of RALPH wALDO EMERSON
By Ralph waldo Emerson Edited by Broos Atinson Introduction by Mary Oliver
The denitive collection of Emersons major speeches, essays, and poetry, The Essential Writings of Ralph
Waldo Emerson chronicles the lifes work of a true American Scholar.
As one of the architects of the transcendentalist movement, Emerson embraced a philosophy that
championed the individual, emphasized independent thought, and prized the splendid labyrinth of
ones own perceptions. More than any writer of his time, he forged a style distinct from his European
predecessors and embodied and dened what it meant to be an American. MatthewArnold called
Emersons essays the most important work done in prose.

DREAMINg IN CuBAN: A Novel
By Cristina garca
Here is the dreamy and bittersweet story of a family divided by politics and geography during the
Cuban revolution. It is the family story of Celia del Pinoand her husband, daughter and grand-
childrenfrom the mid-1930s to 1980s. Celias story mirrors the magical realism of Cuba itself, a
country of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption.
Dreaming in Cuban is written in language that is by turns languid and sensual, curt and surprising.
Garca has distilled a new tongue from scraps salvaged through upheaval.

MAIN STREET
By Sinclair Leis
The rst of his major novels of the 1920s, Sinclair Lewiss Main Street satirizes the manners of the
American Midwest. Here is the story of Carol Kennicott, who, to be accepted, must adapt to the ways
of Gopher Prairie, Minnesota.
Lewiss portrayal of a marriage torn by disillusionment and a woman forced into compromises is at
once devastating social satire and persuasive realism. This groundbreaking novel attacks conformism,
commercialism, moneygrubbing, and the decline in what Lewis saw as the American ideals of freedom
and respect for individuality. The Bantam Classics edition includes an Introduction by Morris Dick-
stein.

SNOWBALLS CHANCE
By Jobn ReeJ ForeworJ by AexanJer Cockburn AfterworJ by James Sberry
Written in 14 days shortly after the September 11th attacks, Snowballs Chance is an outrageous and
unauthorized companion to George Orwells Animal Farm, in which exiled pig Snowball returns to
the farm, takes charge, and implements a new world order of untrammeled capitalism. Orwells All
animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others has morphed into the new rallying
cry: All animals are born equalwhat they become is their own affair.
Atimely political satire and literary parody, John Reeds Snowballs Chance has caused controversy since
its publication in 2002. Now, a decade later, with America in wars on many fronts, readers can judge
anew the visionary truth of Reeds satirical masterpiece.

ALL QLIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT: A Nove

enthusiastic, they become soldiers. But despite what they have learned, they break into pieces under
the rst bombardment in the trenches. And as horrible war plods on year after year, Paul holds fast
to a single vow: to ght against the principles of hate that meaninglessly pit young men of the same
generation but different uniforms against each otherif only he can come out of the war alive. This is
the classic anti-war novel about young German soldiers during World War I. Few books have achieved
such dramatic acclaim or enduring success.

THE MOLNTAIN LION
By Jean StafforJ AfterworJ by Katbryn Davis
Two kids growing up in a genteel suburb of Los Angeles, Ralph and his younger sister, Molly, are
independent-minded, highly imaginative, and more than a little wild. They have no patience with the
evasive politeness and mincing words of their mother and older sisters, so theyre delighted when
theyre sent for the summer to the Colorado mountain ranch of their uncle Claude. Initially, the
children feel liberated by this encounter with nature at its most ruggedly spectacular and
demanding. Soon, however, Ralph begins to sense, not without anxiety, the call and challenge of
impending manhood, while Molly, for her part, burns both with the ambition of becoming a writer
and the fear of being left behind in childhood. Neither suspects that tragedy may be the cost
of coming of age.

SLEEPAWAY SCHOOL: Stories from a Boys Life, A Memoir
By Lee Stringer foreworJ by Kurt Vonnegut
Like his brother before him, Stringer was surrendered to foster care shortly after birth by his unwed
and underemployed mothera common practice for unmarried women in mid-century America. Less
common was that she returned six years later to reclaim her children. Rather than leading to a happy
ending, though, this is where Stringers story begins. The clash of being poor and black in an afuent,
largely white New York suburb begins to foment pain and rage, which erupts, more often than not,
when he is at school. One violent episode results in his expulsion from the sixth grade and his
subsequent three-year stint at Hawthorne, the Sleepaway School of the title.

THE MAN THAT CORRuPTED HADLEYBuRg
By Mar Tain
Written on hotel stationery while Mark Twain was in Europe on the run fromAmerican creditors,
soon after the death of a daughter, The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg is often cited as a work of bitter
cynicisma statement on America, to some; on the Dreyfus Case, to otherscreated by a weary author
at the end of his career.
The story of a mysterious stranger who orchestrates a fraud embarrassing the hypocritical citizens
of incorruptible Hadleyburg, this novella is an exceptionally crafted work intertwining a devious
and suspenseful plot with some of the wittiest dialogue Twain ever wrote. This brilliant novella is a
complex and compassionate consideration of the human character by a master at the height of his form.

THE MYSTERIOuS STRANgER
By Mar Tain
The Mysterious Stranger, published posthumously in 1916, is Mark Twains nal work and very much
belonging to his dark period, which belies the popular image of the affable American humorist. A
teenage stranger named Satan visits the remote Austrian village Eseldorf and informs a group of teens
that misfortune is about to befall their families. This starts a series of events that lead the village into
mayhem. In this antireligious tale, Twain denies the existence of a benign Providence, a soul, an
afterlife, and even reality itself. As the Stranger in the story asserts, nothing exists; all is a dream.

By krt vonnet Introduction by Neil Gaiman
In God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian, Vonnegut skips back and forth between life and the afterlife as if the
difference between them were rather slight. In thirty odd interviews, Vonnegut trips down the blue
tunnel to the pearly gates in the guise of a roving reporter conducting interviews for public radio.
What began as a series of ninety-second radio interludes for WNYC, New York Citys public radio
station, evolved into this provocative collection of musings about who and what we live for, and how
much it all matters in the end. From the original portrait by his friend Jules Feiffer that graces the cover
to a nal entry from Kilgore Trout, God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian remains a joy.

THE LONELY vOICE: A Study of the Short Story

Frank OConnor is one of Irelands greatest authors, and his inuential treatise on the short story is
back. In it, the master covers the techniques and challenges of the form, discussing Chekhov,
Hemingway, Joyce, Kipling, and others.
This is a brilliant book on a subject about which little has been written. It carries, besides, the
authority a critical work always possesses when its author is a distinguished practitioner of the art
he is criticizing. The New York Times Book Review
Its unsurprising that this book should prove so hardy; OConnor was compelling when voicing an
opinion. What Richard Ellmann calls the assumptive tone of his criticism can inspire, thrill and
infuriate, but will never bore. The Guardian

distinguished writers separated by age, race, upbringing, and education, but sharing common goals
and aspirations. Rarely have two writers spoken so candidly about the intersection where the lives they
live meet the art they practice. That these two writers happen to be Kurt Vonnegut and Lee Stringer
makes this a historic and joyous occasion. As Vonnegut said afterward, It was a magical evening.

MADISON AND JEFFERSON
By AnJrew Burstein anJ Nancy Isenberg
With early America as its backdrop, Madison and Jefferson reveals these founding fathers as privileged
young men in a land marked by tribal identities rather than a united national personality. In riveting
detail, the authors chart the courses of two very different presidencies: Jeffersons driven by force of
personality; Madisons sustained by a militancy that history has been reluctant to ascribe to him.
A remarkably lucid account. . . . With stunning style and clarity, [Burstein and Isenberg have]
meticulously reexamined this political relationship. Library Journal
A superb book that greatly deepens our understanding of these founders.

THE BOYS CRuSADE: Tbe American Infantry in Nortbwestern Europe, 19441945
By Pau Fusse
Winner of the National Book and National Book Critics Circle Awards
Paul Fussell provides a partly biographical narrative of the war from the point of the children who
fought it. He eschews any kind of sentimentalism, focusing instead on the raw action and human
emotion triggered by the intimacy, horror, and intense sorrows of war, honestly addressing the errors,
waste, and misery that plagued both sides.
Fussell writes vividly and sardonically . . . painting extraordinary scenes at every turn. . . . A
bracing corrective . . . and just right for a new season of war. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

UNITED STATES HISTORY
wHY wE CANT wAIT
By Martin Lther kin, Jr. Introdction by Dorothy Cotton
In 1963, Birmingham, Alabama, was perhaps the most racially segregated city in the United States, but
the campaign launched by Fred Shuttlesworth, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and others demonstrated to
the world the power of nonviolent direct action.
Often applauded as Kings most incisive and eloquent book, Why We Cant Wait recounts the
Birmingham campaign in vivid detail, while underscoring why 1963 was such a crucial year for the
civil rights movement. King examines the history of the civil rights struggle and the tasks that future
generations must accomplish to bring about full equality.
No child should graduate from high school without having read this book. In telling the story of
the third American Revolution, it is as integral to American history as the Declaration of
Independence. Jesse Jackson

COMMON SENSE
By Thomas Paine
In 1776, America was a hotbed of enlightenment and revolution. Thomas Paine not only spurred his

persuasive pieces spoke to the hearts and minds of those ghting for freedom. He was later outlawed
in Britain, jailed in France, and nally labeled an atheist upon his return to America. The Bantam
Classics edition includes an Introduction by Diana Gabaldon. The Modern Library edition is edited by
Gordon S. Wood.

Sweet Land of Liberty is Thomas J. Sugrues account of the abiding quest for racial equality in states from
Illinois to New York, and of how the intense northern struggle differed from and was inspired by the
ght down South. Sugrues panoramic view sweeps from the 1920s to the presentmore than eighty of
the most decisive years in American history.
Mention the civil rights movement and Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis spring to mind. Rarely
do we recall Boston, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. But there was a civil rights movement in the North,
Thomas J. Sugrue reminds us in Sweet Land of Liberty, and it is impossible to understand race
relations today without pondering what we can learn from it. Sugrues exhaustively researched
book brings that movement back to life. The New York Times Book Review

THE REBELLIOuS LIfE Of MRS. ROSA PARkS
By Jeanne Theoharis
The denitive political biography of Rosa Parks examines her six decades of activism, challenging
perceptions of her as an accidental actor in the civil rights movement.
Presenting a corrective to the popular notion of Rosa Parks as the quiet seamstress who, with a single
act, birthed the modern civil rights movement, Theoharis provides a revealing window into Parkss
politics and years of activism. She shows readers how this civil rights movement radical soughtfor
more than a half a centuryto expose and eradicate the American racial-caste system in jobs, schools,
public services, and criminal justice.
Historian Theoharis offers a complex portrait of a forceful, determined woman who had long been
active before the boycott she inspired and who had an even longer career in civil rights afterward.

By Richard Bessel
The Second World War was the dening event of the twentieth century, leaving millions dead and
redrawing the political map in ways that continue to affect nearly the entire human race. Unlike
previous territorial or political clashes, the war launched by Nazi Germany was an ideological one,
waged to wipe entire peoples and cultures from the face of the earth.
In Nazism and War, Richard Bessel, one of the preeminent authorities on the social and political
history of modern Germany, demonstrates how racial hatred was the driving force behindand not a
by-product ofNazism.
Bessels basic premisethat wars past present, and future were at least as central to the Nazi ethos
as racismis an illuminating one, correcting many a crude caricature. . . . Clear, engaging, and
quietly profound. Booklist

THE HELLENISTIC AGE: A Short History
By Peter green
The Hellenistic Age chronicles the years 336 to 30 BCE, a period that witnessed the overlap of two of
antiquitys great civilizations, the Greek and the Roman. Peter Greens far-ranging study covers the
prevalent themes and events of those centuries: the Hellenization, by Alexanders conquests, of an
immense swath of the known world; the lengthy and chaotic partition of this empire by rival
Macedonian bands; and, nally, Romes moment of transition from republican to imperial rule. It is a
story of war and power-politics, and of the developing fortunes of art, science, and statecraft, spun by
an accomplished classicist with an uncanny knack for infusing life into the distant past, and applying
fresh insights that make ancient history seem alarmingly relevant.

THE AGE OF NAPOLEON
By Alistair Horne
The Age of Napoleon transformed Europe, laying the foundations of the modern world; nowAlistair
Horne has written a denitive new account of that era. Horne guides students through every aspect of
Napoleons two-decade rule, from the newfound commitment to an aristocracy based on merit rather
than blood, to the civil code (his most important legacy), to censorship, cuisine, and the texture of daily
life in Paris.

The distillation of years of thinking and writing about Islam, it demonstrates that the worlds fastest-
growing faith is a much richer and more complex phenomenon than its modern fundamentalist strain
might suggest.

insular, preindustrial realm mutated into an expansive military dictatorship that essentially supplanted
the British, French, Dutch, and American empires in Asia before plunging to utter ruin, eventually
emerging under American tutelage as a pseudo-Western-style democracy and economic dynamo.

Fernndez-Armesto can personalize broad historical trends without sinking into triviality. . . .

experimenting, of testing what will and will not bear close scrutiny, what can and cannot be adapted to
new circumstances, in order to bring about change in our own lives and communities.

of war and persuasively argues that even Americas major wars could have been avoided by nonvio-
lent means. In Nonviolence, Kurlansky offers a sweeping yet concise history of the nonviolent responses
to conict from ancient Hindu times to today.

DANgEROuS gAMES: The Uses and Abuses of History
By Mararet MacMillan
History is useful when it is used properly: to understand why we and those we must deal with
think and react in certain ways. It can offer examples to inform our decisions and guesses about the
consequences of our actions. But we should be wary of looking to history for dogmatic lessons. We
should distrust those who abuse history when they call on it to justify unreasonable claims to land, for
example, or restitution. Acclaimed historian Margaret MacMillan illustrates how dangerous history can
be in the hands of nationalistic or religious or ethnic leaders who use it to foster a sense of grievance
and a desire for revenge.
MacMillan deftly maneuvers through time [in this] wide-ranging and provocative testament to
transparency as the best historical education. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

THE DISCOvERY Of JEANNE BARET
A Story of Science, the High Seas, and the First Woman to Circumnavigate the Globe
By glynis Ridley
The year was 1765. Eminent botanist Philibert Commerson had just been appointed to circumnavigate
the world. Jeanne Baret, Commersons young mistress and collaborator, disguised herself as a teenage
boy and signed on as his assistant, becoming the rst woman to ever sail around the globe. The
Discovery of Jeanne Baret offers this forgotten heroine a chance to bloom at long last.
Thrilling and incensing. . . . Woven throughout this gripping story are Ridleys piquant insights
into eighteenth-century exploration, botany, taxonomy, biopiracy, and sexism. Baret could not have
asked for a more exacting and expressive champion. Ridley is incandescent in her passion for the
truth. Booklist (starred review)

millennia and, in doing so, attempts to answer the age-old question: what makes a city great? Kotkin
follows the evolution of the city from the early religious centers of Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and
China, to the imperial centers of the Classical era, through the rise of the Islamic city and the European
commercial capitals, ending with todays post-industrial suburban metropolis.
A compelling and original synthesis that belongs on the urbanists bookshelf with Lewis
Mumford, Peter Hall, and Fernand Braudel.

STuFFED AND STARVED: Tbe HiJJen Batte for tbe WorJ FooJ System
ReviseJ anJ ExpanJeJ EJition
By Raj Pate
There are more starving people in the world than ever before, while there are also more people who are
overweight.
To nd out how we got to this point and what we can do about it, Raj Patel launched a comprehensive
investigation into the global food network. What he found was shocking, from the false choices given
us by supermarkets to a global epidemic of farmer suicides, and real reasons for famine in Asia and
Africa. Yet he also found great cause for hopein international resistance movements working to
create a more democratic, sustainable, and joyful food system.
Patels broad treatment helps the layman connect the dots, as well as hear the voices of those who
occupy the lower rungs of the global food chain. Time Magazine

THE gREAT INfLATION AND ITS AfTERMATH
The Past and Future of American Afuence
By Robert J. Samelson
With the nancial upheavals over the last years, The Great Ination and Its Aftermath is more relevant
now than ever before. Ination, Robert Samuelson argues in this resonant book, is the single most
portant factor in this countrys economic health, and the story of how ination spun out of control and
nearly devastated our position as a dominant global power is one of the great overlooked events
of the past few decades. If we are to understand the causes of the economic events of the last half
tury including the 2008 crash, and look for ways to create a stable nancial system in the future, the
arguments that Samuelson makes are essential to these conversations.

fLATLAND: A Romance o Many Dimensions
By Edin A. Abbott
This highly original and entertaining short novel tells the story of A. Square, an inhabitant of the two-
dimensional world Flatland. After an overview of Flatland society, A. Square recounts how he was led
on a series of travels to Pointland, Lineland, and Spaceland. Through his encounters with these other
lands, A. Square realizes that there is more to the universe than the world he lives in.
Victorian clergyman and Shakespearean scholar Edwin A. Abbott penned this mathematical allegory
about the dawn of reason. Touching on themes of humanitys insatiable quest for truth, authoritys
tendency to squash radical ideas born from this quest, and the necessity of curiosity, Flatland is an odd
and charming little book whose impact far surpasses its concise prose.

DARwINS gHOSTS: The Secret History of Evolution
By Rebecca Stott
A New York Times Book Review Notable Book (100 Best Books)
Soon after the publication of On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin received a letter that accused him
of taking credit for a theory that had already been discovered. Realizing his error, Darwin tried to trace
all of the philosophers who had laid the groundwork for his theory, but found that history had already
forgotten them. Rebecca Stott goes in search of these ghosts, and the discovery of evolution.
Stott brings Darwin himself to life. . . . [She] writes with a novelists air. . . . Darwin and the
ghosts so richly described in Ms. Stotts enjoyable book are the descendants of Aristotle and
Bacon and the ancestors of todays scientists. The Wall Street Journal

Lost Groves, Champion Trees, and an Urgent Plan to Save the Planet
By Jim Robbins
New York Times reporter Jim Robbins explains the importance of trees, including how they may help
save the planet. At the heart of this timely and evocative nonction work is the incredible story of
David Milarch, a Michigan nurseryman who embarked on a mission to locate champion trees, repro-
duce them, and spread their offspring around the world. The Man Who Planted Trees is both a testament
to one mans successful efforts to save one of our most important, resounding calls to others to act.

RENAISSANCE ART IN FRANCE: Tbe Invention of Cassicism
By Henri Zerner
Harvard professor Henri Zerner focuses on one of the most dynamic and amboyant periods in art
history, the Renaissance in France. Renaissance Art in France explains how the school of Fontainebleau,

and laid the groundwork for the invention of French Classicism. The volume showcases artists who
excelled in the ne arts such as court portraitist Franois Clouet and sculptor Jean Goujon, as well as
those working in decorative arts that also ourished during this period: tapestry, stained-glass
windows, printmaking, and metalwork.
