Bailey's Autobiography,
By
This review is from: The American Pageant Revisited: Recollections of a Stanford Historian (Hoover Institution Press Publication) (Hardcover)
Thomas Bailey writes in his autobiography that "one should remember that those who are laughing are not snoring." His scholarship directed at high school or university students are lively, engaging, and cover important themes like any dry textbooks. This autobiography explains and details Bailey's life and career from aspiring to attend Stanford at an early age, being introduced to presidents very early in life, teaching in Hawaii, Berkeley, and finally at Stanford, as well as points above and beyond. The bulk of this work is Bailey's chronicles as a university instructor and covers each of the universities at which he has been an instructor or professor. Any teacher, whether entering their first day or entering the first day of their thirtieth year, can find a gold mine of professional development material in this book. Students, especially those interested in teaching or those enrolled in university, can glean from this a better understanding of the essential and elemental composition of a teacher and use this as inspiration somewhere toward becoming a teacher.
