National Bestseller 

In this, the first major single-volume biography of Andrew Jackson in decades, H.W. Brands reshapes our understanding of this fascinating man, and of the Age of Democracy that he ushered in.

An orphan at a young age and without formal education or the family lineage of the Founding Fathers, Jackson showed that the Presidency was not the exclusive province of the wealthy and the well-born but could truly be held by a man of the people. On a majestic, sweeping scale Brands re-creates Jackson’s rise from his hardscrabble roots to his days as frontier lawyer, then on to his heroic victory in the Battle of New Orleans, and finally to the White House. Capturing Jackson’s outsized life and deep impact on American history, Brands also explores his controversial actions, from his unapologetic expansionism to the disgraceful Trail of Tears. This is a thrilling portrait, in full, of the president who defined American democracy.

The epic scope of historian David Nasaw’s biography matches the titanic personality and achievements of William Randolph Hearst (1862-1951), who built “the nation’s first media conglomerate” from a single San Francisco newspaper. Based on previously unavailable sources, including Hearst’s personal papers, Nasaw’s long but absorbing narrative gives a full-bodied account of the often contradictory mogul: “a huge man with a tiny voice; a shy man who was most comfortable in crowds … an autocratic boss who could not fire people; a devoted husband who lived with his mistress.” Wife Millicent Hearst and actress-inamorata Marion Davies also emerge with more complexity than in previous portraits like Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane, whose factual inaccuracies Nasaw dissects. The author tempers the usual simplistic account of Hearst’s political evolution from fire-breathing leftist to red-baiting conservative, calling him “a classic liberal” who believed in less-is-more government and deplored fascism as much as communism. Fresh insights and elegantly turned phrases abound in Nasaw’s depiction of Hearst’s activities as newspaper publisher, movie producer, and politician, but what’s even more intriguing is the poignant personal drama of a man born “in the city of great expectations on the edge of the continent” who was buried 89 years later in San Francisco, “the place he used to know.” –Wendy Smith

Product Description
Maria Montessori is important background reading for parents considering Montessori education for their children, as well as for those training to become Montessori teachers. The first woman to win a degree as a Doctor of Medicine in Italy in 1896, Maria Montessori’s mission to improve children’s education began in the slums of Rome in 1907, and continued throughout her lifetime. Her insights into the minds of children led her to develop prepared environments and other tools and devices that have come to characterize Montessori education today. Her influence in other countries has been profound and many of her teaching methods have been adopted by educators generally. Part biography and part exposition of her ideas, this engaging book reveals through her letters and personal diaries Maria Montessori’s humility and delight in the success of her educational experiments and is an ideal introduction to the principals and practices of the greatest educational pioneer of the 20th century.
The new introduction to Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work by Lee Havis, executive director of the International Montessori Society, discusses the changes that have taken place in Montessori education within recent years.
An updated appendix of Montessori periodicals, courses, societies, films, and teaching materials.
A revised bibliography of books by and about Maria Montessori.

Product Description
Michael Gurian’s blockbuster bestseller The Wonder of Boys is the bible for mothers, fathers, and educators on how to understand and raise boys. It has sold over 400,000 copies, been translated into 17 languages, and sells over 25,000 every year, which is more than any other book on boys in history. To follow up on this first book, which launched the boy’s movement, he has now written this revolutionary new book which confronts what he and a lot of other parents and teachers in this country truly believe to be a “boy’s crisis”.

Here are the facts:

• Boys today are simply not learning as well as girls
• Boys receive 70% of the Ds and Fs given all students
• Boys cause 90% of classroom discipline problems
• 80% of all high school dropouts are boys
• Millions of American boys are on Ritalin and other mind-bending control drugs
• Only 40% of college students are boys
• And three out of four learning disabled students are boys

So what can we do?

Gurian has the answer in this enormously fascinating and practical book which shows parents and teachers how to help boys overcome their current classroom obstacles by helping to create the proper learning environment, understand how to help boys work with their unique natural gifts, nurture and expand every bit of their potential, and enabling them to succeed in life the way they ought to.

Gurian presents a whole new way of solving the problem based on the success of his program in schools across the country, the latest research and application of neuro-biological research on how boys’ brains actually work and how they can learn very well if they’re properly taught.

Anyone who cares about the future of our boys must read this book.
