Book Reviews of The American Community College
Book Review: Poor service from UPS via amazon
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book for any study of community colleges.
I paid for express shipping from amazon and UPS and was left waiting.
UPS gets the address wrong, ships it back and forth to their facility.
Not good. There should be a choice of shipping agents on amazon.
If UPS provides poor service then by association so does amazon.
Summary of The American Community College
Praise for The American Community College"Since 1982, The American Community College by Cohen and Brawer has been the authoritative book on community colleges. Anyone who wants to understand these complex and dynamic institutions--how they are evolving, the contributions they make, the challenges they face, the students they serve, and the faculty and leaders who deliver the services and the curricula--will find The American Community College both essential reading and an important reference book."
--George R. Boggs, president and CEO, American Association of Community Colleges
"I have been a community college president for over forty-one years and a graduate professor for three decades. This book has been an inspiration to generations of students, faculty members, and administrators. It has become the classic of the field because it has great 'take-home' value to us all."
--Joseph N. Hankin, president, Westchester Community College
"In this latest edition of The American Community College, the authors continue to manifest their unique, highly knowledgeable perspective about the community college. This book is must-reading for all who desire to understand one of the most important educational institutions in the twenty-first century."
--Barbara K. Townsend, professor and director, Center for Community College Research, College of Education, University of Missouri-Columbia
"Cohen and Brawer's classic work is the touchstone for a comprehensive overview of the American community college. This is a seminal book for graduate students as well as seasoned professionals for understanding this uniquely American institution."
--Charles R. Dassance, president, Central Florida Community College
