  Advanced Placement Human Geography, 2020 Edition Product details Publisher :  Perfection Learning; Illustrated Edition (August 1, 2019) Language: :  English Michael Smith 1 .0 out of 5 stars   Don't waste your money buying this book. Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2020 Verified Purchase As someone mentioned in a previous review, this book does NOT provide an answer key or suggested answers. Rather the company "sells" a separate book, with the answers, only to educators. There are other review books with better reviews from third parties that are available for sale on Amazon at a lower cost.

The Coddling of the American Mind

  The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure FREE READ or DOWNLOAD The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure The generation now coming of age has been taught three Great Untruths: their feelings are always right; they should avoid pain and discomfort; and they should look for faults in others and not themselves. These three Great Untruths are part of a larger philosophy that sees young people as fragile creatures who must be protected and supervised by adults. But despite the good intentions of the adults who impart them, the Great Untruths are harming kids by teaching them the opposite of ancient wisdom and the opposite of modern psychological findings on grit, growth, and antifragility.   The result is rising rates of depression and anxiety, along with endless stories of college campuses torn apart by moralistic divisions and mutual recriminations.    T

Academia Next: The Futures of Higher Education

  Academia Next: The Futures of Higher Education FREE READ or DOWNLOAD Academia Next: The Futures of Higher Education The outlook for the future of colleges and universities is uncertain.

Alexander then looks beyond these trends to offer a series of distinct sce

The Merit Myth: How Our Colleges Favor the Rich and Divide America

The Merit Myth: How Our Colleges Favor the Rich and Divide America FREE READ or DOWNLOAD The Merit Myth: How Our Colleges Favor the Rich and Divide America Colleges fiercely defend America’s deeply stratified higher education system, arguing that the most exclusive schools reward the brightest kids who have worked hard to get there. But it doesn’t actually work this way. As the recent college-admissions bribery scandal demonstrates, social inequalities and colleges’ pursuit of wealth and prestige stack the deck in favor of the children of privilege. For education scholar and critic Anthony P. Carnevale, it’s clear that colleges are not the places of aspiration and equal opportunity they claim to be. The Merit Myth  calls out our elite colleges for what they are: institutions that pay lip service to social mobility and meritocracy, while offering little of either. Through policies that exacerbate inequality, including generously funding so-called merit-based aid for already-wealthy stud

The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students

  The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students FREE READ or DOWNLOAD The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors―and their coffers―to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In  The Privileged Poor , Anthony Jack reveals that the struggles of less privileged students continue long after they’ve arrived on campus. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This bracing and necessary book documents how university policies and cultures can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why these policies hit some students harder than others. Despite their lofty aspirations, top colleges hedge their bets by recruiting their new diversity largely from the same old sources, admitting scores of lower-income black, Latino, and white undergraduates from elite
