Synopsis

There are four 'Wonder Voyages' recounted in this book. The author explains how, rather like Lewis Caroll, he entertained his children at night with stories of imaginary voyages that he had made. He had always said there would never be a 100th voyage but, on reaching 99 and offering no further story, the children revolted so he had to resort to tales of other wonderful voyages already told, and chose to start with the four in this volume.

    Upward mobility through the path of higher education has been an article of faith for generations of working-class, low-income, and immigrant college students. While we know this path usually entails financial sacrifices and hard work, very little attention has been paid to the deep personal compromises such students have to make as they enter worlds vastly different from their own. Measuring the true cost of higher education for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, Moving Up Without Losing Your Way looks at the ethical dilemmas of upward mobility faced by students as they strive to earn a successful place in society. 
     
    Drawing upon philosophy, social science, personal stories, and interviews, Jennifer Morton reframes the college experience, factoring in not just educational and career opportunities but also essential relationships with family, friends, and community. Finding that student strivers tend to give up the latter for the former, negating their sense of self, Morton seeks to reverse this course. She urges educators to empower students with a new narrative of upward mobility - one that honestly situates ethical costs in historical, social, and economic contexts and that allows students to make informed decisions for themselves.

    A former EPA chief attorney traces the tumultuous history of the agency’s enforcement efforts from the Nixon through the second Bush administrations.   Based on 190 personal interviews with present and former enforcement officials at EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice, and key congressional staff members—along with extensive research among EPA documents and secondary sources—this book vividly recounts the often-tumultuous history of EPA’s enforcement program. It also analyzes some important questions regarding EPA’s institutional relationships and the Agency’s working environment. This revised and updated edition adds substantial new chapters examining EPA enforcement during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. Its treatment of issues of civil service decline and the applicability of captive agency theory is also new and original.   The first published work to treat the historical evolution of EPA enforcement, this book provides a candid inside glimpse of a crucial aspect of the work of an important federal agency.   “Explores the agency’s strengths and weaknesses . . . With insight and intimate knowledge of enforcement and compliance, Mintz relates an interesting story.” —Ecology Law Quarterly

Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Michael Lewis's The Undoing Project:A Friendship that Changed Our Minds includes a summary of the book, Review, analysis & key takeaways, and detailed About the Author section. PREVIEW: Michael Lewis, the author of the successful book-turned-movie Moneyball, found inspiration for his new book in a review by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. Writing in The New Republic, Thaler and Sunstein argued that the ideas in Moneyball were not original. Rather, Moneyball was a good illustration of ideas that had originated from two Israeli psychologists named Daniel (Danny) Kahenam and Amos Tversky. Lewis had never heard these names before and he was intrigued. Lewis then introduces readers to our main protagonists, Danny and Amos. First, Lewis discusses Danny Kahenman. Danny had survived World War II, par
