Description

Book Synopsis
This 2004 book tells the success story of the modern research university in Europe and its expansion to other continents. By focusing on the freedom of scientific research, teaching and study, the medieval university structure was modernised and enabled discoveries to become a professional, bureaucratically-regulated activity of the university.
