The publication of The Marketplace of Ideas has precipitated a lively debate about the future of the American university system: what makes it so hard for colleges to decide which subjects are required? Why are so many academics against the concept of interdisciplinary studies? From his position at the heart of academe, Harvard professor Louis Menand thinks he's found the answer. Despite the vast social changes and technological advancements that have revolutionized the society at large, general principles of scholarly organization, curriculum, and philosophy have remained remarkably static. Sparking a long-overdue debate about the future of American education, The Marketplace of Ideas argues that twenty-first-century professors and students are essentially trying to function in a nineteenth-century system, and that the resulting conflict threatens to overshadow the basic pursuit of knowledge and truth.

Adorable!
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Black
These little shoes are absolutely adorable! I got my 2 year old daughter the black sparkly ones. I originally ordered a size 6, but had to return & swap for a size 7. Not sure if this shoe runs a little small or if my daughter’s foot is just a little big. They are a soft rubber & they smell amazing (I know that sounds weird but when you receive them you will see what I’m talking about lol). They seem like very good quality & like they will last awhile, especially on a 2 year old who is hard on shoes!
