A Map of the Edge: Coming of Age in the Sixties
Amidst the psychedelic haze and sexual revolution of Southern California in the Sixties, a young soul navigates the edge of innocence and self-discovery. In the sun-soaked dream of 1960s Southern California, A Map of the Edge tells the poignant coming-of-age story of 15-year-old Rick, grappling with family secrets, heartache, and the treacherous underbelly of the counterculture. Abandoned by his mother and trapped in an abusive household, Rick uncovers the truth about his siblings’ parentage, shattering his already fragile world. Rick’s attempt to shield a friend from trouble leads to his arrest for marijuana possession and a stint in Juvenile Hall. When he gets out, he finds an unlikely ally in the spirited Lincoln, a 16-year-old with messianic aspirations. Together, Rick and Linc set out to do their part to forge the new world they believe is on the horizon. They learn along the way that not everyone is intent on the betterment of humanity, and they descend unwittingly into the dark side of the California drug scene, culminating in a violent confrontation that leaves them both scarred.

Surviving the College Admissions Madness
Unconventional. Irreverent. Brutal. Entertaining. Unlike any book written about higher education, Surviving the College Admissions Madness is a complete takedown of a deeply flawed and thoroughly broken system. Kevin Robert Martin argues that elite universities do not care about their applicants. He observes that college admissions is highly undemocratic and dehumanizing. University bureaucracies alienate applicants from their humanity and sense of self. Reading essay advice books might help you get in, but they won’t help you stay sane. Surviving and even thriving depend on digging deep into your beliefs and understanding your behaviors within the broader context of society. This isn’t another Admissions 101 “how-to to write a killer essay” book or a promise of “six easy steps” for Ivy League acceptance. Martin provides helpful advice for avoiding application mistakes, building a reasonable college list, minimizing debt, identifying cognitive errors and distortions, and helping applicants reframe their college applications. This book equips readers with the vocabulary, frameworks, and tools to make sense of America’s broken higher education system, starting with the admissions gatekeepers.
