Glowing Reviews and Other Opinions
This work by a University of Chicago professor was a bestseller in cloth. According to PW, ``marred by the author's biases, this jeremiad laments the decay of the humanities, the decline of the family and students' spiritual rootlessness and unconnectedness to traditions.'' - Publisher's Weekly
