A Jolly Jingle-Book

“. . . A call for academics and public figures to reclaim the idea that America is based on a social contract, and for the exchange of critical ideas through debate and dialogue. A wonderful read. Highly recommended.”
—CHOICE

"Giroux may be our best champion of youth and here he paints a stark picture of the complicity between corporate greed and governmental abandonment that continues to leave our children vulnerable. In Politics After Hope, Giroux brings a nuanced but strong call for President Obama to live up to his rhetoric of hope and democracy and reminds the rest of us to hold the President to his promise. This may be Giroux's most accessible book, probably his most timely, and it's certainly his most powerful." 
-Richard Quantz, Professor, Social Foundations of Education, Miami University

"Giroux's book reminds readers that while Obama has already become a captive of the Presidency as an institution in American politics, his campaign rhetoric had offered an opportunity to revisit the vigor of radical ideas and democracy as an ideal in contemporary America. Focusing upon the linkages among, youth, citizenship, education and social change, Giroux offers a rich array of analysis and ideas that could help to transcend the politics of failure that has increasingly defined American life since the 1960s." 
-Cary Fraser, Penn State University, Associate Professor of African and African American Studies and History

"Henry A. Giroux has been tracking the war on youth and decline of education and democracy throughout the Bush-Cheney era. In Politics After Hope Giroux tracks out how problems of youth, race, education, militarism, and the decline of democracy are rooted in the previous era and provide serious challenges to the Obama administration. Grounding himself in Obama’s politics of hope, Giroux sees early problems and failures concerning Obama’s response to key issues and provides challenges for the Obama administration to match their rhetoric. A timely look at current political and pedagogical issues that should be of concern to educators and citizens alike."
-Douglas Kellner, UCLA, Author of Media Culture (1995) and Media Spectacle and the Crisis of Democracy (2005)

“Mark Rossman has been a rigorous guide and friend to generations of students. His biases come through loud and clear—the most successful students ‘own’ their education. They seek to shape their educational experiences to their own unique needs, rather than passively accept whatever is ‘thrown their way.’ This guide to graduate study is both practical and very thorough. It will take the mystery out of the process. Mark shares with his readers the importance of parsing the tasks, breaking them down into its component parts, each to be dealt with in its own time. You don’t have to read it cover to cover—just the well-labeled ideas that apply to you. My favorite: ‘Becoming a Self-Directed Learner.’”
—Dwight Allen, Eminent Scholar of Educational Reform, Emeritus, Old Dominion University and former Dean of the School of Education, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

"Knowledge is power. In this book, Dr. Rossman fully discusses and explains all aspects of the graduate school process, including the program of study, finances, delivery systems (online and on campus) the committee process, comps, the proposal and how it is connected to the thesis/dissertation. With this clear and succinct information, the graduate student is in a much better position to develop an advanced degree program that will fully and adequately meet personal and professional goals and objectives." 
—Craig Swenson, Chancellor, Argosy University System

“Built upon his forty-plus years of experience as faculty, administrator, and graduate student advisor, Dr. Rossman’s new book amplifies and extends his earlier work, the nationally recognized and applauded Negotiating Graduate School, and brings to graduate students a compelling and re-assuring vision of the path to their degree. As a long-time colleague at two universities and as former president of an innovative online graduate institution, I am proud to endorse Graduate School and Beyond and to recommend it to every prospective graduate student.”
—J. Bruce Francis, Distinguished Senior Faculty, Capella University

Students Say:
“I completed reading your book tonight in one setting. The book totally engrossed me, as the information was so captivating. I just could not put the book down as it has a wealth of information and answered so many questions I’ve been wondering about. I will refer to [the book] again and again during the course of my degree program; it answers many questions I’ve been wondering about and some I hadn’t thought about.”
—Lisa R. Jones

“Dr. Rossman’s guide is a succinct yet thorough tool that not only explains the hurdles of graduate school but also provides practical wisdom to finish the race. From making the decision to attend my graduate program through submitting drafts of my dissertation, this book has been a constant companion as I have negotiated each phrase of my doctorate, and I know that I will continue to reference this resource as I defend my dissertation and move forward in my professional life after graduate school.”

From the reviews:“This valuable handbook begins with basic physics theory, moving to radiobiology from high-energy radiation interactions and ending with radiotherapy procedures and case management protocols in modern clinics. … It is intended as a desk reference for radiation oncologists, physicists, and biologists, as well as medical students and fellows. Radiation oncology residents can read this book to gain an understanding of important techniques and protocols. … This book is good for both refreshing clinical knowledge and studying for exams.” (Jack Yang, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2010)
