504 0 0 |a In Pursuit of Knowledge is an insider's dissection of university life, written with crispness and clarity. This nicely balanced, but never namby-pamby, account eschews ideology for critical analysis. It makes essential reading for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on such contentious questions as the caliber of college teaching, the uses and abuses of academic freedom, and the capacity of today's academic managers to lead their institutions effectively.
