Forever New
The collected speeches of Dartmouth's sixteenth president
Finding the Words
James Freedman, the fifteenth president of Dartmouth College, began life in a struggling middle-class Jewish family in a provincial industrial New Hampshire town. By the time of his death from cancer in March 2006, he was one of the most celebrated educational leaders of his generation, perhaps of the twentieth century. Finding the Words is Freedman's account of the first twenty-seven years of this astonishing trajectory in a life made difficult by depression, but sustained throughout by a love of books and learning, a life that would transform the culture of American higher education. His mother's fierce and bruising ambition instilled in him an overwhelming drive to leave his mark upon the...
When Poetry Ruled the Streets
More than a history, this book is a passionate reliving of the French May Events of 1968. The authors, ardent participants in the movement in Paris, documented the unfolding events as they pelted the police and ran from the tear gas grenades. Their account is imbued with the impassioned efforts of the students to ignite political awareness throughout society. Feenberg and Freedman select documents, graffiti, brochures, and posters from the movement and use them as testaments to a very different and exciting time. Their commentary, informed by the subsequent development of French culture and politics, offers useful background information and historical context for what may be the last great revolutionary challenge to the capitalist system.

Tell Me Why I Can't
The United States is at a critical point. Our jobs, the prices we pay for products, and the heart of American entrepreneurship itself are at stake. Those betting against us say that China is outcompeting us, out-innovating us, and not playing by the rules and that, under these circumstances, our defeat is inevitable. In Tell Me Why I Can't, Ron Simon describes how victory competing in the global market is not just possible but also intrinsic to America's capitalist DNA. Both moving memoir and captivating case study, Tell Me Why I Can't explores the limitless potential of US entrepreneurism and its unparalleled ability to reward innovation, creativity, and positive disruption. Simon's rise to business greatness is a testament to the power and possibility of the American Dream.
