| Summary: | There are not many academic texts which mention the problems of university car-parking. This stimulating book does so a number of times, perhaps as a running joke yet also as a salutary reminder that, whatever else they may be, universities are human organizations constrained and affected by mundane practices and concerns. The focus of this text, though, is on the ‘so much more’ of what universities at their best can be. That it addresses its topic in a way that does not merely assert an ideal but respects aspects of lived practice, and that it is fruitfully informed by a discipline with which much secular discussion about higher education does not currently engage, is to the author’s great credit., The book is divided into two parts. |
