Descripción de contraportada

"This engaging book is blessed with a special chemistry. It is, first, a

revealing story of one of the most intelligent, adaptive, and creative

leaders in the history of the University of California. It is, second, a

superb account of the knottiest problems--affirmative action, relations

with the national laboratories, for example--faced by the University during

the Atkinson presidency. It is, third, remarkably enriched by Patricia Pelfrey's talents, long experience, keen judgment, and objectivity as the storyteller."--Neil J. Smelser, Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley and author of Reflections on the University of California

"This book has a wide range of appeal, from University of California loyalists to scholars of public higher education, its governance, administration and politics."--Karl S. Pister, Chancellor Emeritus, UC Santa Cruz and Dean and Roy W. Carlson Professor of Engineering Emeritus, UC Berkeley
