Description

The Academic Revolution by Routledge examines the rise of professional scholars and scientists within American society. This work traces their growth from leading universities into broader social spheres, providing a unique perspective on how academic power has shifted over time. Rather than providing a standard history of American higher education, this book offers a specific theory regarding its development and current status. It provides a deep look at how institutions function and how they shape the world around them. Readers will gain insight into the structural changes that have defined modern academia. Through firsthand observations of various colleges and universities across the country, the text explores the different types of institutions that exist today. It examines the distinctions between colleges for the wealthy and those for the upwardly mobile, as well as the differences between vocationally oriented programs and those focused on intellectual and social development. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history and sociology of American educational systems.
