'The ''civic university'' is due for a comeback - if it ever went away. Historically, of course, it formed the bedrock of higher education - the great Victorian foundations in the north and midlands of England, the land-grant universities in the United States. But more recently they (or, more accurately, their values) have been shouted down by the drumbeat discourse of ''world-class'' universities. This book offers an overdue correction, a celebration of civic and community engagement as a fundamental responsibility of the contemporary university.'
