Recensioner i media

I recommend this fascinating book which reports wide-ranging research into the ‘how’, ‘when’, ‘where’ and ‘who’ of academic working lives in higher and further education. Amongst many insightful contributors, Ron Barnett deserves special mention for his chapter which addresses the ‘why’ of our workplace, suggesting that pessimists adhere to the perceived inevitable while optimists build change through the interstices of academic life.
