This review is from: Eliminating Professors: A Guide to the Dismissal Process (Hardcover)
As a former college teacher who has seen much of the academic dismissal process that Professor Westhues delineates, I must give high praise to this book. It is as informative as any such text should be, and as true to fact--but the reader will find as well a graceful, tongue-in-cheek style that entertains as it educates. This is a daring book of its kind--very clearly written, deeply personal in part, full of humor, and containing many aspects of a narrative story. Some might criticise the informality, but to my mind this is the way some, at least, of the best academic books should be presented. Westhues appeals to all legitimate aspects of rhetoric to prove his case, and he succeeds brilliantly. This is a book for young scholars to read, providing as it does a needed antidote to the pretension, moral aimlessness (and sometimes intellectual emptiness) of too many post-modern texts.
