The Grammar of Our Civility
For the academic reader, this is a fine book. For both the general reader AND the academic, Postman's "The End of Education" is perhaps more accessible, and therefore more practically useful.

A Post-modernists View of Classics
I was a bit disappointed after reading through this book. How do you make classical studies more utilitarian? I think you have to have some sort of moral compass or else it all seems rather trivial. I'm afraid I came to this book with high hopes, but was left wanting.
