![]() How the University Works: Higher Education and the Low-Wage Nation (Cultural Front) $23.00 Bousquet's analysis of the "informationalized" university is interesting and rings true. Unfortunately, his sloppy organization and unedited writing result in needless repetition and obscure what would otherwise be a compelling indictment of higher education's exploitation of its educated workforce. He places the blame where it belongs--not on technology or the insignificant employment of "distance learning," but on the public university's adoption of a for-profit, capitalistic mission, top-heavy with overpaid administrators, which in turn creates the need for an informal, "right here, right now" supply of cheap labor. Though he makes his points, the author's long-winded, cluttered sentences and "spiral" organization--he keeps coming back again and again to points already made--detract significantly from his book's effectiveness. ![]() The Sims 2 University Expansion Pack $19.99 It's a good game to play but not so much fun when you cant join your sim in their class and such yet the other stuff isnt so bad but i m still new to playing it as well but i do recommend to get the cheat for money because all the colleges are quite expensive but the only one that doesnt have a soritity is pleasentville the other ones do. ![]() University of Tennessee Mr. Potato Head $16.00 I had no idea this product was out there, I've never seen it before in any of our Vol's stores, so I was delighted when I stumbled upon this find. ![]() University $6.99 Bentley Little serves up another of his signature horror stories with this book. Though it is one of his earlier works, some of his later ones, such as "The Store" and "The Association", have their roots in this book. This book is not for the squeamish, however, due to the sadistic sexual content and extreme violence. As the title indicates, all the fun and games take place at a University, specifically the University of California at Brea. The school has always had a high incidence of violence on its campus, but this one semester, it takes it to the point of no return. Murder, rape, sodomy, sadism, maiming, castration, and animal cruelty are just some of the extracurricular activities to be found on this campus. A small group of students and professors band together to try to stem the tide of evil at the University, and therein lies the tale. The author is a tad self-indulgent, as the book is somewhat repetitious, at times, and the story seems to falter or meander every now and then. Moreover, the characters tend to be somewhat one dimensional. Still, it is a new riff on the classic tale of good versus evil. Diehard Little fans, and I am one, should enjoy it. |
