"California exceptionalism is a very real thing, but its essence has always been elusive. Not so in the case of John Douglass' treatment of California higher education. He has captured brilliantly the economic, political, and social roots of that remarkable system. His work will help us all."--Neil Smelser, Director, Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford, California"For those interested in the University of California, in higher education throughout the state, and--above all--for anyone concerned about life in this country's higher education systems, John Douglass' book is a must read. He brings history, thoughtful perspective, and marvelous creative intelligence to a very tricky set of issues, and we will be leaning upon his insights for many years."--Barry Munitz, President, The J. Paul Getty Trust, and former Chancellor of the California State University system
