Higher education, particularly in America, has never been more of a battleground than now. When conflicting systems of political and educational theory dominate life on every campus. What is less often questioned, however, is the underlying value of that education itself, which is at the mercy of economics and a general desire to process as many diplomas as possible, even at the expense of quality. The author understands this predicament well, having served a lifetime of education and teaching in three continents. Comparing the merits and standards of the three systems, he demonstrates the deficiencies of American university education today and offers some simple but far-reaching ideas to reform.

<p>What is the cost of religion in the modern world? Pretty high, is the view of retired philosophy/mathematics professor J. Fang, as he addresses the issue of man's spirituality and the burden of theocratic denomination. Cultural panavision, verbal technicolour and the sharply focussed lens of an academic 'outsider' from the East - now settles in 'enlightened' Virginia -make 'Ecrasez L'Infame' very challenging, very up close and personal for those who espouse the Jeudo-Christian tradition. Yet it's so big in scope, so careful in its analyses, and so firm in its grasp of the history of ideas, that readers of all persuasions will surely enjoy and benefit from Mr. Fang's erudition and insight.</p>
