There are several excellent book reviews in the latest American Scientist. Check them out for reviews of Dennett and Collins books, if nothing else, but the one that caught my eye was the review of Academic Charisma and the Origins of the Research University by William Clark, which I will, just because of this review, put on my Amazon wish list. It is a history of academia and how it got to be organized the way it does today.
