Authorities in constitutional law, political theory, and public education policy, the authors of this volume analyze one of the most controversial debates currently facing Americans; the issue of school choice and the potential of vouchers as an alternative to the present public educational system. Choosing Schools explores the issue from many angles and discusses the benefits and pitfalls of the voucher system.
An anthology of 22 seminal and contemporary essays on the art of noir in film, drawing together definitive studies and ruminations on the philosophy and techniques that made movies like The Maltese Falcon classics. The essays include the first English translation of "Towards a Definition of Film Noir," by Borde and Chaumeton, and Paul Shrader's "Notes on Film Noir." Other critical discussions examine narrative structure, lighting, the evolution of the femme fatale, and the neo-noir rebirth of the genre in films like Reservoir Dogs and Gun Crazy. Lots and lots of black and white (of course) photographs make this a film buff's dream collection. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Choosing Schools: Vouchers and American Education
This is a collection of articles/essays by supporters of school choice programs around the world. Most of the articles take a critical look at the "choice" programs in countries where they exist and discuss what separates them from true free education markets. With the exception of the article on Chile's system, there was a widespread lack of school performance data cited, which made the essays somewhat less than impactful. This book provides interesting background information on the education policies in a handful of countries (Sweden, New Zealand, Chile...), but the lasting impression that the book leaves is that America can learn very little from school choice programs in other countries because none of them go nearly far enough. The final article by John Merrifield was the most interesting of the collection.
