About This Item
Stanford, CA:: Redwood Press,, (2017). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket (a new copy.). First printing. A book which makes the argument that "studying for the joy of learning turns out to be surprisingly practical. . . Drawing on the experiences of Stanford University graduates and using the students' own accounts of their education, job searches, and first work experiences, Stross provides heartening demonstrations of how multi-capable liberal arts graduates are. Stross also weaves the students' stories with the history of Stanford, the rise of professional schools, the long-standing contention between engineering and the liberal arts, the birth of occupational testing, and the popularity of computer science education to trace the evolution in thinking about how to prepare students for professional futures." SIGNED on the title page. Notes, index. vii, 291 pp.
