What has gone wrong in our universities? And how do we make it right? 
 
When Amy applied to university, she thought she’d be judged purely on her merits. But she never thought that her family background would have as much impact on her future as her grades. 
 
When KiKi arrived at university, she knew she could be the only black woman in her class. But she didn’t know how out of place she would feel, nor how unwelcoming her peers would be. 
 
When Orry graduated from university, he was told he’d probably land a six-figure salary. But he wasn’t told he’d end up barely scraping a living wage, struggling to feed his children. 
 
Drawing on the stories of hundreds of American students, The Years That Matters Most is a revelatory account of a university system in crisis. 
 
Paul Tough, bestselling author of How Children Succeed, exposes a world where small-town colleges go bust, while the most prestigious raise billions every year; where overstretched admissions officers are forced to pick rich candidates over smart ones; where black and working-class students are left to sink or swim on uncaring campuses. Along the way, he uncovers cutting-edge research from the academics leading the way to a new kind of university – one where students succeed not because of their background, but because of the quality of their minds. 
 
The result is a call-to-arms for universities that work for everyone, and a manual for how we can make it happen.

The Years That Matter Most

Esther Wojcicki

______________________________ 
Being a parent is complicated – but the trick to succeed is simpler than you think. 
 
There are no Nobel Prizes for parenting or education, but if there were, Esther Wojcicki would be the bookies’ favourite. Known as the Godmother of Silicon Valley – or simply Woj – Esther’s three daughters have all gone on to huge success in their professional fields and, more importantly, their personal lives. What’s her secret? 
 
As we face an epidemic of parental and childhood anxiety, Woj has the advice every parent wants to hear: climb out of that helicopter and relax. 
 
Her tried and tested TRICK system will help you: 
 
· Let your child discover their own passions 
· Move on from past parenting mistakes 
· Build rock-solid foundations for a lifelong relationship 
· Be brave enough to give your child freedom 
· Work with your children, not against them 
· Set healthy relationships with technology 
 
Your children are the future. If you change your parenting, you can change the world.
