You are likely to find this book deeply disturbing. You can find out more about Perelman's thinking from his interview with the Journal of Bionomics (September 1996 at http://www.bionomics.org) and from his own web site (http://www.cris.com/~Kanbrain).Google Scholar
- In Post Capitalist Society (Harper Business 1993), Peter Drucker lays out a vision of what teaching and learning for the knowledge worker will entail. This expands on an earlier version of his vision in The New Realities (Harper & Row 1989).Google Scholar
- Beginning with Charles Sykes's ProfScam (St Martin's Press 1988), various authors have written best-selling, iconoclastic books about disease and corruption in the academy. Even if you don't accept the premises of these books, they were best sellers and hundreds of thousands of people paid $24.95 to own one or more of them. If nothing else, they give good insight into what ails the current business design of universities.Google Scholar
