Recenzii

The book's research is excellent and it is full of detailed footnotes that others will undoubtedly find helpful. . . . This book not only presents well researched factual information, but it also contains legal analysis. . . . To my knowledge, this is the first book on how 9-11 has changed the world of higher education. This book will be available around April 30th and you can pre-order it now . . . You will be glad that you did.'
At its core, the book is optimistic and encourages American educational institutions to take advantage of a market now defined by globalization and increased competition.
