"Reconstructing the University is one of the most interesting books
on changes in higher education that I have come across. By sampling
university course catalogues from countries in Europe and the
Americas to those in the Middle and Far East, Africa and Oceania,
Frank and Gabler are able to map broad convergences in the fate of
the humanities, social sciences and sciences over the course of the
20th century. The changes they demonstrate--especially, the
phenomenal rise of the social sciences--suggest that it is more
than plausible to think of universities as constituents of a
worldwide republic of learning."--Gerhard Casper, President
Emeritus, Stanford University
"The broad sweep of this study, both chronologically and
geographically, is unprecedented in this area of research. The
general pattern of findings--expanding social sciences, declining
humanities, steady natural sciences throughout the world--and the
specific findings for particular disciplines will be eye-opening
for many specialists and professionals. This is a landmark study of
the structure of organized knowledge."--John Boli, Emory University
