Despite being immensely popular - and immensely lucrative - education is grossly overrated. In this explosive book, Bryan Caplan argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skill but to certify their intelligence, work ethic, and conformity - in other words, to signal the qualities of a good employee.

Each of us struggles with the existential questions of meaning, purpose, and responsibility.

There are many books that teach you how to self-publish on Amazon. Yet few talk about how to make money as an author. There's a good reason for this.

Wie denken und wie lernen Erwachsene? Zwischen einem 20-Jährigen und einem 80-Jährigen gibt es augenscheinlich Unterschiede. Doch in welchem Alter hört das Gehirn auf zu reifen? Worin zeichnet sich Weisheit bei einem alten Menschen aus? Ist es tatsächlich für einen 40-Jährigen schwieriger, eine Fremdsprache zu lernen, als für einen 20-Jährigen? Klar ist, dass das Nervensystem eines Kindes wächst, aber bedeutet das im Umkehrschluss, dass ein Erwachsener geistig abbaut?

"Mit 66 Jahren fängt das Leben an", sang Udo Jürgens in den siebziger Jahren und nahm damit als Künstler vorweg, was die Wissenschaft Jahre später bestätigte. Immer mehr Menschen bleiben auch im hohen Alter gesund, körperlich und geistig fit; immer mehr erreichen ein Alter von einhundert Jahren. Findet der geistige Verfall also nicht statt, wie man oft hört? Hat das "alternde Gehirn" auch Vorteile, wie Hirnforscher immer öfter aufzeigen? Was verändert sich im hohen Alter im menschlichen Denkapparat? Kann man die geistige Flexibilität fördern und degenerative Krankheiten verhindern?

After all the testing and touring and applying, your child has been accepted to college. Congratulations! Now what? Distilling lessons and sharing stories (some cautionary, some entertaining, all helpful) from her long college advisory career, three-time Ivy League Dean Monique Rinere presents a unique month-by-month road map to a college experience that is rich, rewarding, and successful for teens and parents alike.

Getting in is only half the battle. The Privileged Poor reveals how - and why - disadvantaged students struggle at elite colleges and explains what schools can do differently if these students are to thrive. 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.

Higher education faces a looming demographic storm. Decades-long patterns in fertility, migration, and immigration persistently nudge the country toward the Hispanic Southwest. As a result, the Northeast and Midwest...expect to lose five percent of their college-aged populations between now and the mid-2020s. In Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education, Nathan D. Grawe has developed the Higher Education Demand Index (HEDI), which relies on data from the 2002 Education Longitudinal Study (ELS) to estimate the probability of college-going using basic demographic variables.
