BOSTON, MA – New Word City LLC announces the publication of What the Ivy League Won’t Teach You, a new eBook by William Deresiewicz, essayist, book critic, author of A Jane Austen Education, and former Yale University professor.
Never before has admission to elite colleges been so sought after. Parents spend a fortune trying to get their kids in; kids spend their high-school years preparing to fill in every blank on their applications. But what, in the end, does it get them? asks Deresiewicz. The elite college system, he writes, produces highly skilled and specialized young people who are poorly equipped for life. And these are the people who will one day run the country. Here, in this eye-opening eBook, is what every parent, student, and citizen needs to know.

BOSTON, MA – New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Imperial Congress, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming.

Today’s spectacle of Congress boldly defying the president of the United States – be his name Barack Obama or George Bush – is unsettling to many Americans. But it should not come as a surprise. Congress, writes Fleming, has sought to seize power for itself – and diminish the presidency – since the earliest days of the republic.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Thomas Fleming is one of the most distinguished and productive historians and novelists of our time. He has written 20 nonfiction books that have won prizes and praise from critics and fellow historians, many focused on the American Revolution. He has also written 23 novels, many of them bestsellers, which explore the lives of men and women in vivid narratives that range from the raw America of the 1730s to the superpower that confronted World War II and endured Korea and Vietnam.
