Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the characteristics common to America's higher education system that define its uniqueness and purpose. The author's perspective stems from extensive travel and observation of American institutions and their role in the country's distinctive educational ethos. The text argues that America's universities notably differ from their European counterparts in their emphasis on practicality over abstraction and their commitment to providing comprehensive education across a wider spectrum of the populace, especially in science and the arts. A historical analysis of this approach emphasizes its pragmatic origins, while also highlighting the evolving nature of America's vision for higher education. Ultimately, the book illuminates America's conviction that an educated citizenry is not only vital for national progress but lies at the very heart of a robust and equitable democratic society.
