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.

Offers a description of the arrangement of O'Connor's manuscripts in the Flannery O'Connor Collection in the Ina D. Russell Library at Georgia College & State University and notes that they illustrate how she "often produced dozens of variants of single episodes."

Discusses in particular the large number of drafts that exist for her last two stories -- "Parker's Back" and "Judgement Day" -- and indicates that they "suggest the amount of rewriting that O'Connor normally did [for her stories] and, consequently, how many of the drafts for her other fiction are missing."

Entries in the catalog "describe the physical appearance of the manuscripts in the folders and files, and the plot, characters and stylistic and formal characteristics of their contents." Details the arrangement of the 905 folders in 297 files and how they are cross-referenced to other related files. Provides an index which "shows the order of the files and folders...[and] how [Driggers'] file numbers differ from Dunn's. Also included is a timneline indicating dates O'Connor is believed to have worked on each piece of fiction.

I am from another part of the world and I did enjoy reading of the book and found many common with the ideal leadrship design everywhere in the world. If you are really into business of higher education administrationa dnare thinking about your unievsrity, you'd better get the book and read it thoroughly. I have been just 'collecting' the books about CEOs of American universities and this book is another bright constituent of my library. I would grade the book with 10 stars as it is a must for everyone involved in this business. Dr. Clark is the person who endured the troubled times of American higher education and he experienced it himself. So, the book is not written by someone for whom this business may seem just a theoretical judgment, it is rather sharing your thoughts with a practician who occupied the seat of the president for many years at one of America's biggest universities at one of the most troubled times in the US history.

This book is a must for anyone who has served in the military and wants to attend college---the pages are packed with valuable and useful information. As I read through the pages of "Marching to College", I found I could not put it down, it kept me captivated from cover to cover as I gathered significant and indispensable information; truly an enlightening, wonderful and educational find.

Sean-Michael Green has a unique writing style; a genuine gift with a clear passion for his work and it shows in every word, personal story, and chapter provided within these pages. His book is a must for anyone who is interested in attending college, getting through it and finishing it. This book is overflowing with a vast wealth of knowledge, creative outlook, along with a sense of humor that makes for a highly understandable, enjoyable and hands-on usable tool. He provides very detailed solutions and direction to the common questions and every day problems that we, as college applicants, face everyday. This book is highly effective and will leave you motivated to get out there with your newly acquired knowledge that you can start to use today (and everyday)...to succeed!

I bought this book as a gift. When it came my daughter was out of town. I thought I would just glance through the content to see if it met my expectations. I could not put it down. I read it from cover to cover. It exceeded my expectaions. The phone numbers of hotels was very conveient and used to book our accomidations. Our choice of restaraunts and shopping were directly chosen from this book. I highly recommend this book. I plan on getting these as graduation gifts for her friends.

Even though I was a student at Marshall U. from 1967 to 1971, an advid supporter of M.U. sports, and even tried to play a little football there in 1967, I was really surprised to learn what exactly went on at Marshall in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The recent movie WE ARE MARSALL, did not touch on some of the real problems MU was having in its football program along with its other sports. This book explains why the faculty and others wanted to drop the MU football, not the the story-line as presented in the "Hollywood-version" "true story" movie. I was their in that time frame, and I did not remember some of the details as displayed in the movie, but when I read this book all those rumors I really heard in 1969, 1970, & 1971(that I had forgotten about over time), came back to me, and finally made sense.
This book is great and I wish it had come out before the movie. This books presented a better story-line, as it dealt with the truth, and if filmmakers were so inclined, this story would have probably made a better movie.

This book is a great comprehensive history of a college that had to overcome tremendous odds to get back on its' feet and survive. I was a student at Marshall during these difficult times and I found the book a great history of what happened and a tribute to the spirit of a great school. Marshall has a great legacy....We Are Marshall...
