How to Survive Getting Your Kid Into College
Getting into college has become an obsession — and not just with anxious students. Parents, too, are intensely involved in all aspects of the search and application process. “Expert” advice is easy to find, but nothing beats the hard-won wisdom of those in the front lines — the parents of recent high school graduates who ran the application gauntlet and lived to tell about it. In this handy, upbeat guide, hundreds of parents discuss their thoughts, strategies, struggles — even their failures — in navigating this tricky process. Filled with tips, tricks, humor, and horror stories, it's a book to help parents help their kids — and themselves — succeed. Compiled by admissions consultant Rachel Korn, the book includes do’s and don’ts, common sense psychology, valuable perspectives, and much more. How to Survive Getting Your Kid Into College tosses a lifeline to every stressed-out parent of a prospective collegian.
Bruno Schulz and Galician Jewish Modernity
In the 1930s, through the prose of Bruno Schulz (1892–1942), the Polish language became the linguistic raw material for a profound exploration of the modern Jewish experience. Rather than turning away from the language like many of his Galician Jewish colleagues who would choose to write in Yiddish, Schulz used the Polish language to explore his own and his generation's relationship to East European Jewish exegetical tradition, and to deepen his reflection on golus or exile as a condition not only of the individual and of the Jewish community, but of language itself, and of matter. Drawing on new archival discoveries, this study explores Schulz's diasporic Jewish modernism as an example of the creative and also transient poetic forms that emerged on formerly Habsburg territory, at the historical juncture between empire and nation-state.
