SELECTION
PERFECTION: The Grownups' Essential Guide to Giving Children
the Best Gifts
Every adult
who gives a child a present used to be a child who received presents.
But this fact is no assurance that you'll feel comfortable making
choices for today's kids, whether they are yours or someone else's.
SELECTION PERFECTION will provide gift-givers with the tools to choose
right every time.
SELECTION
PERFECTION will focus on the gift-giver, not product reviews and
rankings. It will explore gift selection criteria, how to delegate gift
giving to friends and family, how to help kids shop at holiday shops
where they'll buy gifts for you, your role in sibling to sibling and
other child to child giving scenarios, how to stockpile presents, what
to do with duplicates, how to locate and buy refills and how to store
the bounty.
SELECTION
PERFECTION will include bonus sections on where to find gift ideas,
where to shop and forms for tracking gift-giving information. Finally,
its eighty unique Gift Categories, listed once alphabetically and once
by attributes such as indoor, outdoor, quiet, noisy, sport, etc., will
enable any adult who feels overwhelmed by advertisements and children's
wish lists to achieve selection perfection for any occasion.

OYA SAXA: When Being Jewish Includes
Being Georgetown
Why would anyone choose to attend college where
they knew they would be a minority and knew they would be surrounded by
symbols that reflected concepts they'd never heard of, didn't
understand and would never accept? Think of Catholics at Brigham Young,
Protestants at Brandeis, Muslims at Southern Methodist University.
And Jews at Georgetown.
This part memoir-part history will reveal the
complex and surprising entanglement between the first Jesuit college in
the United States, its efforts to entice and accommodate a Jewish
student population after Vatican II and the inevitable conflicts that
arise. If you've ever felt like a stranger in a strange land, desperate
to make sense of the paths you've tread as well as the paths before
you, you will want to read OYA SAXA and discover that even the most
unfamiliar territory can provide the greatest comfort.
