Book excerpt: From award-winning higher education journalist and New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Selingo comes a revealing look from inside the admissions office—one that identifies surprising strategies that will aid in the college search. Getting into a top-ranked college has never seemed more impossible, with acceptance rates at some elite universities dipping into the single digits. In Who Gets In and Why, journalist and higher education expert Jeffrey Selingo dispels entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the admissions game, and reveals that teenagers and parents have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a “good college.” Hint: it’s not all about the sticker on the car window. Selingo, who was embedded in three different admissions offices—a selective private university, a leading liberal arts college, and a flagship public campus—closely observed gatekeepers as they made their often agonizing and sometimes life-changing decisions. He also followed select students and their parents, and he traveled around the country meeting with high school counselors, marketers, behind-the-scenes consultants, and college rankers. While many have long believed that admissions is merit-based, rewarding the best students, Who Gets In and Why presents a more complicated truth, showing that “who gets in” is frequently more about the college’s agenda than the applicant. In a world where thousands of equally qualified students vie for a fixed number of spots at elite institutions, admissions officers often make split-second decisions based on a variety of factors—like diversity, money, and, ultimately, whether a student will enroll if accepted. One of the most insightful books ever about “getting in” and what higher education has become, Who Gets In and Why not only provides an unusually intimate look at how admissions decisions get made, but guides prospective students on how to honestly assess their strengths and match with the schools that will best serve their interests.

Get Real and Get In is designed to ignite an essential mindset shift in students: stop trying to just “get in” and start figuring out exactly what you want from life and how to get it. Stop managing the impressions you make on admissions officers and start defying impressions.

Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The alternate history first contact adventure Axiom's End is an extraordinary debut from Hugo finalist and video essayist Lindsay Ellis. Truth is a human right. It’s fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that the US government might have engaged in first contact. Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess, since the force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn’t spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the press, the Internet, the paparazzi, and the government—and with him in hiding, that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father’s leaks are a hoax, and wants nothing to do with him—until she learns just how deeply entrenched her family is in the cover-up, and that an extraterrestrial presence has been on Earth for decades. Realizing the extent to which both she and the public have been lied to, she sets out to gather as much information as she can, and finds that the best way for her to uncover the truth is not as a whistleblower, but as an intermediary. The alien presence has been completely uncommunicative until she convinces one of them that she can act as their interpreter, becoming the first and only human vessel of communication. Their otherworldly connection will change everything she thought she knew about being human—and could unleash a force more sinister than she ever imagined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " I cannot imagine happiness without this man by my side, if he is not nearby, I lose calmness, I need to see him as I'm feeling so bad…" You wake up anxious, you are anxious at the office too, you talk to the people but anxiety remains, later in the evening you are anxious at home too…everything turned into chaos! Your heart beats stronger at the only thought about him. Your thoughts quickly develop and you already imagine your next date. You suddenly postpone any other engagements just to see him and to make your agenda free. Suddenly, you are not interested in meeting other men. Now you are focused only on him. You wonder what to do in order to develop faster your relationship. You try to make him discuss subjects like "what he would do in the situation x", taking into consideration that you want to make your relationship special as soon as you can. While you think about all this, he wonders if it is worth contacting you again. Ironically, even if you think about serious relationship, his reaction is running away. " I'm not feeling ready yet", "you're amazing girl but I don't want a serious relationship","I was very busy at work and was unable to contact you". Let's say it directly: all these are lies! But the strangest fact is that we women do accept it. Instead of feeling later abandoned or humiliated, it would be better to start from the beginning again. It is high time to put an end to this vicious circle! If he does not treat you well, do not try to hide this thing and realize this in order to have the possibility to change the things.
