Everyone comes to this book with different perspectives -- and count me in as someone who appreciated both tracks of this two-track narrative. I very much liked Michaele Weissman's perspective on a long-lasting marriage where both partners are fundame ...more |

of
The Passage of Power (The Years of Lyndon Johnson, #4):
"Robert Caro’s The Years of Lyndon Johnson might be the great historical project of our time. These days, publishers seem to prefer everything to be contained in one volume. Thus, even topics as grand as the Second World War get crammed into a single "

“What’s so poignant about this mismatch is that a winning campus-to-career alliance is within reach—if only the combatants could talk about their values, needs, and achievements in a shared language that makes sense to one another. Instead, scholars, students, and employers are at odds because of an agonizing translation problem.”
