Description:
Written with passion and understanding, Land-Grant Universities and Extension into the 21st Century: Renegotiating or Abandoning a Social Contract is an assertive story of the system's success and as-of-yet unmet potential. The text includes a concise history of the Land-Grant universities, providing the context for the author's standing. Backed up by case studies and a vision of what might have been, the book not only points out the program's flaws but also provides possible solutions. Land-Grant Universities and Extension into the 21st Century acknowledges the benefit of the Land-Grant and Extension system but recognizes the danger of becoming obsolete. This ground-breaking text will help rethink and reshape the university extension system and its function for the future.
