This review is from: Pictures from an Institution (Paperback)
While quite a venerable publication, and in some ways dated, it still rings true as to academic politics and behind the scenes goings on at universities. As a 35 year professor myself, I attest to its exposition of academic silliness, escapades, egos and political intrigue. As the common observation notes, "Academic politics are so vicious because so little is at stake." This book takes a snide look at such goings on. Probably not for the non-academic person, nor for the new generation of young academics, but perfect for us older, cynical, weathered academics. It does, sometimes, lag or lapse into sort of uninteresting side tales, but these are minor and not numerous. The positives outweigh the negatives.
Listmania!
