Description

Book Synopsis
This book provides a valuable overview of higher education from a multi-dimensional perspective. The authors argue that different parts of an academic institution constitute six different "cultures.

Trade Review
The approaches suggested are appreciative inquiry and the ironic perspective, applying paradox and polarity to theory. (The Journal of Continuing Higher Ed, 06/08)
