An Unlikely Academic

This book describes what really happens at universities (or what happened to me). I show how recurring themes in academic institutions have evolved since I was a student in the 1960s. Institutional changes have combined with changes in the attitudes and behaviour of students and lecturers. I hope this book is both entertaining and thought‑provoking.
