Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Randall Stross celebrates the importance of a liberal education with its emphasis on critical thinking, communication skills, and ability to master new subjects. He makes a strong case that such an education provides the best foundation for life, both in the workplace and beyond. I agree with him 100%!" -- John L. Hennessy, President Emeritus * Stanford University *
"With demand for engineering talent at an all-time high, the need for critical thinking and liberal arts–educated leaders is more relevant than ever. A Practical Education provides an engaging perspective on this crucial topic and proves that investment in the humanities pays dividends in the long run." -- David Kalt, CEO/Founder, Reverb Holdings * Inc. *
"A liberal arts education prepares you to be a lifetime learner and is timeless in its applicability to modern life and business. This is wonderfully brought out by Randall Stross in his most recent book, A Practical Education: Why Liberal Arts Majors Make Great Employees." -- Kevin P. Shields * University Bookman *
