Great book and a must have for any fan of Louisville Athletics and fans of NCAA football. Gives great insight in the difficulties the program has gone through and the amazing strides it makes yearly.

In an era when novels usually deliver sex, cruelty, and violence in blunt and brutal prose, it's a pleasure to read this fluent, allusive, witty, and thoroughly enjoyable prose about sex, cruelty, and violence. George Stade blends a realistically low estimate of human aspirations with an energizing enthusiasm for enjoying them, and it's impossible not to enjoy them along with him.

Lower Moments in Higher Education tells selected stories of the author's experiences throughout his higher education career. The true stories provide a framework which tactfully leads to the question of ethics related to the story. I liked the way each story had a message. This book is a must read for the novice and seasoned alike. The book would also be a great required reading for higher education students as well as sitting executives

This novel surpasses all Lentricchia's other efforts thus far. Playful, but obsessively serious, this book teaches us more than anything else. For this the professor comes through, as well as my understanding.

Major in Success can be misleading if you buy by impulse. It WONT teach you how to study or how to have great grades. However, it will do more than that - it WILL teach you to be successful and get your dream career.

What if you don't know what your dream career is? Well, you are not alone! Before reading this book I didn't know either, but the first part of the book will guide you in learning all your interests and then mix them to discover the perfect job for you.

And if that wasn't enough, you will then learn how to actually get it: break your fears, enrich your life, and have fun in college, while building the curriculum and getting the connections that will get you there.

This book changed my life and totally inspired me. It also has some wonderful cartoons and inspiring stories about real people. And toward the end has a wonderful manual, The Rules of Being Human, that our soul certainly read before dropping on earth but which, according to the last term of the contract, it forgot.

A refreshing attitude toward college, wonderfully written and inspiring, Major in Success is more than a book about success in college; it is a book about success in LIFE - all aspects of it.

PS: In case you didn't get the message: *buy it*; it will change your life!

I came across this book at a library whiledoing a paper for class about the struggle for integration at Ole Miss. This is one library book I wanted to steal.An invaluabe resource to those wanting to read on the history of Mississippi higher education. Along with Nadine Cohodas' The Band Played Dixie, history doesn't get any better or easier to read than this.

Impressive analysis. Conclusions are objective and based on in-depth research. Reuben's work is pointed toward the serious reader and thinker who is concerned with the climate within our educational and cultural institutions. Her work is an historical study that draws attention to the modern imbalance of a society that has asked materialistic science to be a savior while dismissing the role of morality in maintaining boundaries that insure intellectual, emotional and spiritual health. The book is the best of this genre that I have read. Very readable. I strongly recommend it.

Maher's book was a classic from the moment it was released. As an archivist in a theological school library, this guide has been indispensible to me. The book covers a variety of subjects: description, arrangement, records management, electronic records, student workers, etc. Maher's discussions are never too technical, yet they avoid being over simplistic. His discussion of classification guides and provenance should be read by all academic archivists.

With today's increased employment of part-time faculty members, it is critical for institutions to install programming that maximizes their effectiveness. This book focuses on sound orientation practices, development of teaching and classroom management skills, ethical and legal issues, and other key factors impacting the success of adjunct faculty. It's a must for deans and department chairs who rely on part-time faculty members to deliver a significant component of their instruction.
