A Sixty-Year Ride through the World of Education depicts the author's educational pursuits from elementary school to provost.

This short work is a rich introduction to the world of education in the last half-century.

Recensioner i media

Rudy Weingartner takes us on a gentle but invigorating ride through the groves of academe. It is a journey that will be of interest to anyone who has worked in a university, and I think it will fascinate many of those for whom a university education has been an important experience. The book also speaks to the centrality of the humanities in the construction of our higher education. Finally, it will fascinate anyone interested in the Americanization of a talented immigrant boy who makes the most of the remarkable educational opportunities available in this country. It is a wonderful read.
