| General note |
If you think academia is a prestigious place of serious, erudite professors... think again.<br/><br/>Academia Obscura is a glimpse behind closed study doors: welcome to the eccentric and slightly unhinged world of academia... Leave your tweed jacket by the door.<br/><br/>Step inside the ivory tower and let Glen Wright guide you on a journey through the weird, wonderful and often bizarre history of academe, from the very earliest in-jokes of medieval scribes.<br/><br/>Learn how one cat tricked some of the greatest minds into awarding it tenure, how Colonel Gaddafi co-authored a thesis and why some rats wear polyester trousers. This irreverent book filled with levitating frogs, defecating penguins and super-specific scientific research shows you the rather sillier side of scholarly life.<br/><br/>Academics will never take themselves too seriously again. And neither will anyone else.<br/><br/>Notes:<br/>This text is proof that the university life isn't all stuffiness, elbow patches and greying old men. Researcher Glen Wright takes an irreverent look inside the ivory tower, uncovering the amusing and often bizarre world within. Cats and dogs writing scientific papers, real life nutty professors and super-specific scientific research that might just change your life. |
