Selling Hope and College

Merit, Markets, and Recruitment in an Unranked School

By: Alex Posecznick

It has long been assumed that college admission should be a simple matter of sorting students according to merit, with the best heading off to the Ivy League and highly ranked liberal arts colleges and the rest falling naturally into their rightful places. Admission to selective institutions, where extremely fine distinctions are made, is characterized by heated public debates about whether standardized exams, high school transcripts, essays, recommendation letters, or interviews best indicate which prospective students are "worthy."And then there is college for everyone else. But what goes into less-selective college admissions in an era when everyone feels compelled to go, regardless of preparation or life goals? "Ravenwood College," where Alex Posecznick spent a year doing ethnographic research, was a small, private, nonprofit institution dedicated to social justice and serving traditionally underprepared students from underrepresented minority groups. To survive in the higher education marketplace, the college had to operate like a business and negotiate complex categories of merit while painting a hopeful picture of the future for its applicants. Selling Hope and College is a snapshot of a particular type of institution as it goes about the business of producing itself and justifying its place in the market. Admissions staff members were burdened by low enrollments and worked tirelessly to fill empty seats, even as they held on to the institution's special spirit. Posecznick documents what it takes to keep a "mediocre" institution open and running, and the struggles, tensions, and battles that members of the community tangle with daily as they carefully walk the line between empowering marginalized students and exploiting them.

Hope Springs Eternal: 2007-2019

By: Alex Tuttle

Every year on Opening Day of the Seattle Mariners baseball season, superfan Alex Tuttle sends out an email to his friends and family entitled "Hope Springs Eternal" which meditates on the nature of hope. Tuttle employs inspirational stories from World War II, Greek mythology, presidential races from half a century ago, Amazonian and Antarctic expeditions, but always brings the reader back to the dugout in the end. As Tuttle points out, on Opening Day, every team is tied for first place, and there is always hope that this is the year the Mariners will make it to the World Series. This book collects the first baker's dozen of Tuttle's emails, and is perfect for any baseball fan who can't help root for their home team, even against seemingly insurmountable odds.

Poetry of Love & Hope

By: Alex Montez

There is an old expression which states, “write what you know”. That is exactly what this young, new author has done. In his first book, Poems of a Wounded Heart, Alex used his own pain and heart ache he experienced on his road to find true love as his muse. Alex is now in a loving, committed relationship and now his heart sings with joy and happiness. His newest book, Poetry of Love & Hope was born from his new found love and outlook on life. Alex believes we were put on this earth through the love of God and that giving and receiving love is what all humanity has in common. Love is the one thing no one should live without.

Blood and Sand

Suez, Hungary, and Eisenhower's Campaign for Peace

By: Alex von Tunzelmann

A revelatory popular history that tells the story of the Suez Crisis and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956—a tale of conspiracy and revolutions, spies and terrorists, kidnappings and assassination plots, the fall of the British Empire and rise of American hegemony under the heroic leadership of President Dwight D. Eisenhower—which shaped the Middle East and Europe we know today. The year 1956 was a turning point in history. Over sixteen extraordinary days in October and November, the twin crises of Suez and Hungary pushed the world to the brink of a nuclear conflict and what many at the time were calling World War III. Blood and Sand relates this story hour-by-hour, through an international cast of characters: Anthony Eden, the British prime minister, caught in a trap of his own making; Gamal Abdel Nasser, the bold young populist leader of Egypt; David Ben-Gurion, the strong-willed founding prime minister of Israel; Guy Mollet, the bellicose French prime minister; and Dwight D. Eisenhower, the American president, torn between an old world order and a new one in the very same week that his own fate as president was to be decided by the American people. This is a fresh new account of these dramatic events and people, one that for the first time sets both crises in the context of the global Cold War, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the treacherous power politics of imperialism and oil. Blood and Sand resonates strikingly with the problems of oil control, religious fundamentalism, and international unity that face the world today, and is essential reading for anyone concerned with the state of the modern Middle East and Europe.
