Rutgers University Press Rutgers Since 1945 A History of the State
Book Synopsis In the 1940s, Rutgers was a small liberal arts college for men. Today, it is a major public research university, a member of the Big Ten and of the prestigious Association of American Universities. In Rutgers since 1945, historian Paul G. E. Clemens chronicles this remarkable transition, with emphasis on the eras from the cold war, to the student protests of the 1960s and 1970s, to the growth of political identity on campus, and to the increasing commitment to big-time athletics, all just a few of the innumerable newsworthy elements that have driven Rutgers’s evolution. After exploring major events in Rutgers’s history from World War II to the present, Clemens moves to specific themes, including athletics, popular culture, student life, and campus dissent. Other chapters provide snapshots of campus life and activism, the school’s growing strength as a research institution, the impact of Title IX on opportunities for women student Trade Review"Rutgers since 1945 achieves two high purposes with distinction and eloquence: it richly recounts how an institution whose origins were private and pre-Revolutionary emerged in the late twentieth century as one of America’s best public research universities, and it deepens our understanding of the momentous developments that shaped and propelled all of higher education in the modern era. Professors and presidents are well represented in Paul Clemens’s book, but its distinguishing feature is an extensive, insightful portrait of students and student life, topics that are often neglected in college and university histories." -- Richard L. McCormick * President Emeritus-Rutgers University *Rutgers at 250: Professor chronicles university's triumphs and scandals [http://goo.gl/1drxxa] * The Star-Ledger *Scarlet Stories: Two new books present insider perspectives and previously unpublished photography in celebration of Rutgers’ 250 anniversary [http://goo.gl/uQL09P] * Rutgers Today *‘Rutgers since 1945’ book chronicles pivotal events in recent University history [http://goo.gl/5AgMTN] * The Daily Targum *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments 1 Becoming a State University: The Presidencies of Robert Clothier, Lewis Webster Jones, and Mason Gross 2 Rutgers Becomes a Research University: The Presidency of Edward J.

The University of Alabama Press Bringing Montessori to America S S McClure Maria
Book SynopsisTraces in engrossing detail one of the most fascinating partnerships in the history of American education - that between Maria Montessori and S.S. McClure, from their first meeting in 1910 until their final acrimonious dispute in 1915.Trade Review“Exploring information heretofore overlooked, the work studies how Montessori education was influenced by the relationship between S. S. McClure and Maria Montessori, as well as what might have been had the two not experienced their dispute regarding control of the process and resultant feud.” - CHOICE“Bringing Montessori to America is a fascinating book about Maria Montessori and S. S. McClure, the man who brought her to America. This work reads like a novel. There is intrigue, deception, great highs and very low lows in the relationship befitting a great drama.” - Vitae Scholasticae, 2016“Bringing Montessori to America is one of the first and perhaps only treatments of the relationship between S. S. McClure and Maria Montessori—a relationship that, had it not gone awry, could have institutionalized Montessori’s promising ‘auto-education’ theory in the United States. This study should be a staple and case study for communications departments across the United States.” - Karen L. Riley, author of Schools Behind Barbed Wire: The Untold Story of Wartime Internment and the Children of Arrested Enemy Aliens“The Guteks provide a unique view of McClure’s and Montessori’s power struggle over how to present Montessori’s method, leading to a better understanding of the split between the American Montessori Society and the Association Montessori Internationale. Scholarly without being dense, this engaging book will appeal to a wide range of readers.” - Martha May Tevis, professor, Department of Education, University of Texas–Pan American

Johns Hopkins University Press The Higher Learning in America The Annotated
Book SynopsisWith a detailed chronology, suggested readings, and comprehensive notes identifying events, individuals, and institutions to which Veblen alludes, this volume is sure to become the standard teaching text for Veblen's classic work and an invaluable resource for students of both the history and the current workings of the American university.Trade ReviewRichard F. Teichgraeber III (a professor of history at Tulane University), has prepared what's bound to remain the standard edition of the text for a long time to come. His extensive yet unobtrusive notes 'identify-when identification proved possible-events, institutions, persons and publications alluded to or mentioned,' and he glosses the literary quotations and biblical references embedded in Veblen's wild and sometimes woolly prose. The timeline of Veblen's life and the recommended-readings list benefit from the past three decades of Veblen scholarship. -- Scott McLemee Inside Higher Ed A coherent and bracing critique of higher education at the dawn of the twentieth century. -- Siva Vaidhyanathan The Baffler A must read for any student of higher education... The book is 100 years old, but the arguments made are regularly heard on 21st century college campuses. Teichgraeber and Johns Hopkins are to be congratulated for bringing this book back to people's attention, and every academic library should have a copy. Choice The introduction and annotations by Teichgraeber (Tulane Univ.)are likely to ensure that this will be the standard edition of Veblen going forward; given the degree to which it presages modern criticisms of academic institutions, it is a must read for any student of higher education. In addition, it is affordable enough to sit on the bookshelf of anyone with administrative responsibility on a college campus. The book is 100 years old, but the arguments made are regularly heard on 21st-century college campuses.

Johns Hopkins University Press Teaching Teachers

In telling that story, they also highlight reform efforts inside institutions that are all too often overlooked—places like Montclair State, in New Jersey and the University of Indianapolis . . . meticulous readers will pick up on the old divide between policy and politics.

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewSearching for answers to this and other mysteries of Planet Academe, I found some excellent responses in a new book, The Great Upheaval: Higher Education's Past, Present, and Uncertain Future, by Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt.—Ann Kirschner, CUNY, ForbesIf you're looking to understand the future of higher education, you couldn't do better than to look at The Great Upheaval. What makes this book so interesting is not only its review of past changes in higher ed, but also its careful look at what has happened in leading industries such as movie-making, filmmaking, and newspapers as they've been disrupted by the online world.—Barbara Oakley, Oakland University, McMaster University, Barbara Oakley, PhDI have never doubted that higher education was on an unsustainable path and after reading The Great Upheaval by Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt, I'm more sure of that than ever.
