A four-year college is not for everyone, but what options do high school graduates have without a degree? But What If I Don't Want to Go to College? Third Edition provides concrete, step-by-step information for students who wish to pursue alternative career paths or educational opportunities after high school. It examines careers in 16 industry categories and describes the skills and experiences required for each.

In this compelling biography, award-winning author Harlow Giles Unger reveals the epic story of James Monroe (1758-1831)--the last of America's Founding Fathers--who transformed a small, fragile nation beset by enemies into a powerful empire stretching "from sea to shining sea." Like David McCullough's John Adams and Jon Meacham's American Lion, The Last Founding Father is both a superb read and stellar scholarship--action-filled history in the grand tradition.

On December 16, 1773, an estimated seven dozen men dumped roughly 10,000 worth of tea in Boston Harbor. This symbolic act unleashed a social, political, and economic firestorm throughout the colonies. Combining stellar scholarship with action-packed history, American Tempest reveals the truth behind the legendary event and examines its lasting consequence--the birth of an independent America.
