Inhaltsangabe

With a long background in tertiary education in Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, Duke offers his insights to people who manage universities at any level or at least, he says, who try and are paid to do so. The project refused to conform to his ideas of a textbook or recipe check-list, so much of the information is embedded in the context that nourishes it. His topics include changing universities, people in postmodern times, cooperation, the academic enterprise, communication and using information technology, and whether the learning university is in fact manageable. The US distribution is by Taylor and Francis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
