At last...the public hearing she was denied...These essays reveal keen powers of analysis applied to some of the most obdurate problems that bedevil electoral politics. Anyone who cares about the mechanisms of democracy should be engaged by her tough-minded explorations. It doesn’t matter where you think you stand: it’s all here, to argue or agree with. -- Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Lani Guinier’s fascinating book is a prophetic intervention into a public conversation we desperately need to rejuvenate.

Affirmative action originated as a plan to correct the historical disadvantage of women and people of color?to make the system more fair. Yet, for over twenty years, it has been repeatedly attacked for being unfair to whites, and even un-American. Guinier and Sturm begin with a critique of affirmative action as it stands now, arguing that a system of selection that determines "qualification" from test scores and then adds on factors like race and gender doesn’t work?either for the people it includes or the people it leaves out.

Ever since Albert’s sister was born, people keep telling him what a big boy he is. But how big is he really? He is definitely bigger than the ants in the garden, and he seems to be bigger than an airplane flying above his head. But then again, he also can be smaller than a sunflower and he is much, much smaller than the sky — so is he big or is he small? Albert³ is a delightfully simple, yet sophisticated look into fundamental philosophical questions. The book’s unaffected, child-like artwork makes learning enjoyable for young readers.
