PERIGEE Trade Paperback May 2013THE POCKET SCAVENGERKeri Smith

From the creator of Wreck This Journal:

an exploration into chance and the

creative process.

Keri Smith has encouraged users of her books to get

creative, get messy, and re-imagine their worlds. Now, with

The Pocket Scavenger readers are urged to go out exploring and

embrace possibilities and accidents. Here’s how it works: Readers

are instructed to collect a spectrum of quirky items: something that

is miniature, a stain that is green, something from the year they

were born, a used envelope, and more. Then, once their quarry is in

hand, they’ll apply an alteration dictated solely by chance: create a

funny character, make it into a building, conceal it, add polka dots,

and so on.

By incorporating the unexpected and unpredictable into creativity,

readers will be drawn out of habitual ways of thinking or acting,

discover new connections, and try things that they might not

have done on their own. The beauty is that each version of

The Pocket Scavenger will be unique, dependent on time, place,

and the reader’s own visions.

An irreverent jaunt through medical history’s

most dubious ideas, bizarre treatments, and

biggest blunders.

The ancient Egyptians applied electric eels to cure migraines. Medieval

dentists burned candles in patients’ mouths to kill invisible worms

gnawing at their teeth. Renaissance physicians, by law, timed surgical

procedures with the position of the stars, and instructed epileptics to

collect fresh blood from the newly beheaded.

Highlighting bad science, oafish behavior, and stomach-turning

procedures that hurt more than helped, Strange Medicine presents

extraordinary but true facts and an honor roll of doctors, scientists, and

dreamers who gave a whole new meaning to clinical trials!

A celebration of the worst writing imaginable, Wretched Writing

passages from novels, bombastic and confusing speeches, moronic

oxymorons, hyperactive hyperbole, wildly inappropriate imagery

in ostensibly hot sex scenes, mangled cliches, muddled metaphors,

prose, including ever-horrible examples from purple prose “expert”

Amanda McKittrick Ros and overly prolific science fiction writer

R.LionelFanthorpe;misfiresfromtrulygoodwriterslikeJaneAustenand

Now in paperback—the highly praised,

unflinching, and “hilarious” (People magazine)

account of what happens when a parent

becomes a teacher.

In The Year of Learning Dangerously, popular blogger, author, and former

child actor Quinn Cummings recounts her family’s decision to wade

into the unfamiliar waters of homeschooling—despite a chronic lack of

discipline, some major gaps in academic knowledge, and a serious case

of math aversion. Trying out the latest trends, attending key conferences,

and recounting the highlights and lowlights along the way, Cummings

takes her daughter’s education into her own hands, for better and for

worse. Part memoir, part social commentary, and part how-not-to guide,

The Year of Learning Dangerously will make you laugh and make you

think. And it may or may not have a quiz at the end.

“Not your typical education book (for starters, it’s funny)...Cummings

remains inquisitive, thoughtful, and a little unsure of herself in a

refreshingly humble way—precisely the qualities a parent should look

for in a teacher.” —TIME Magazine

“Outrageously entertaining...A must-read.”

SUGGESTED ORDER

The only guide to college admissions that offers

an alternative gateway to getting into the nation’s

top-rated schools.

According to U.S. News & World Report, Ivy League schools on average

reject about 90 percent of applicants. But there is another way to gain

admittance to the top colleges in the U.S.—a back gateway—that will

enable motivated students to come out the front gate with an Ivy

League diploma.

Open the Gates to the Ivy League is a Plan B that uncovers alternative—

and often less expensive—ways for getting into the eight universities

of the Ivy League proper, as well as the so-called “second tier” of elite

universities. Some of these back gateways are virtually unknown and

all but secret, while others are just under-used. From extension schools

to special programs for working students to online studies, the range of

fairandlegitimatebackgatewaysisremarkableforlevelingthefieldfor

students of all stripes.
