Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From Eva Moskowitz, the outspoken founder and CEO of the charter school Success Academy, comes a frank, feisty memoir about the rough-and-tumble battles to reform America's education system. Eva Moskowitz is a fighter with a reputation for having "sharp elbows"-- if that's a synonym for getting the job done, she'll take it. A born and bred New Yorker, former City Councilmember, and "charter czarina," Moskowitz has taken on powerful unions and politicians to establish and grow her astonishingly effective and popular charter school program in four of the city's five boroughs. In this unabashedly candid memoir, Moskowitz tells of how she became a forward-thinking education entrepreneur and her fight to establish nearly four dozen schools--activism that has made her into one of the most polarizing figures in New York City and beyond. Now, having established a remarkable, even unprecedented, track record for guiding the city's most disadvantaged children to high academic performance, Moskowitz addresses the battles she has won and lost, writing candidly about the people who seek to undermine her work--most notably New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio--and celebrating the powerful allies who have aided her cause, including former Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Governor Andrew Cuomo. Moskowitz's insightful memoir is a deeply felt personal story and an impassioned call to action that bluntly identifies failing policies and the alarmingly powerful forces arrayed against improving an education system that is both deeply dysfunctional and prejudiced. The Education of Eva Moskowitz is sure to galvanize supporters, enrage her opponents, generate headlines, and urgently impact the national conversation on education. This candid look inside the fight for school choice reveals: The Battle for Charter Schools: A behind-the-scenes account of taking on powerful politicians like Mayor Bill de Blasio and entrenched unions to establish dozens of schools for disadvantaged children. A Leader's Memoir: The personal journey of a former City Councilmember who earned a reputation for "sharp elbows" as she became one of the most polarizing figures in New York. Inside Urban Education: A frank look at the rough-and-tumble politics of improving a dysfunctional public school system from the founder of Success Academy. Educational Policy in Action: An impassioned call to action that exposes failing policies and the forces arrayed against giving parents better educational options for their children.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. From self-esteem talk on "Oprah" to self-help books like "Negaholics and Your Sacred Self", we live in an age fixated on emotional well-being. Rich or poor, black or white, male or female, straight or gay, Americans share a belief in the therapeutic gospel. As Eva Moskowitz argues, Americans today turn to psychological cures as confidently as they once petitioned the Lord with prayer. How did the land of the free become obsessed with self-fulfilment? Has America gained or lost by placing so much emphasis on personal well-being? Taking a historical approach, Moskowitz explores the country's tendency to find psychological explanations - and excuses - for nearly everything. Beginning with the example of a "Mind Cure" developed by mid-19th-century clockmaker Phineas P. Quimby, Moskowitz explains how Americans' growing fascination with therapy led them to adopt new kinds of reform - including, at the turn of the 20th century, provisions for psychological services in prisons, courts, hospitals and schools. Depression-era divorce rates prompted colleges and high schools to offer courses on marital happiness and produced a new marriage-counselling industry. During World War II, Moskowitz shows, the army devoted unprecedented energy to a soldier's "psychological readiness for combat". Moskowitz also explores more recent developments, including Cold War-era psychological assumptions of magazine campaigns that targeted unhappy housewives. She confronts the social protest movements in the 60s and the explosion of 70s self-help fads that continue to the present. In a study that encompasses all aspects of American society, from television talk shows to the criminal justice system, from office politics to world politics, Moskowitz identifies a debilitating "sense of self" that is intimately bound up with the major developments of the 20th century.…
