Zustand: Sehr gut. 252 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Rubbed jacket, otherwise very good and clean. / Beriebener Umschlag, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - Amid the scores of recent jeremiads on the present state of higher education, The Price of Excellence is a unique book. It is unique in that here we have an account of what went wrong with the great experiment to educate America. It is unique in that though the story bears a negative charge, it also conveys hopeful messages of faith in the future of higher education. And it is unique in that it offers an objective historical analysis of the rise and fall of higher education by a researcher trained in the 1980s, and by a senior scholar who was both participant in creating the golden age of American higher education and victim of its dissolution. - Jacob Neusner is a widely honored and published scholar. He has served on the National Council of the Humanities and Arts, and is Distinguished Research Professor of Religious Studies at the University of South Florida. Noam M. M. Neusner is a reporter for the Tampa Tribune and a graduate of Johns Hopkins University. He studied at the Poynter Institute for Journalism.
