Brabazon (media, U. of Brighton) surveys the teaching end of the academe and finds it sorely lacking, with librarians begging for funds and instructors seeking little more than skill development and generic competencies from their phenomenally bored students. She finds that information is not longer geared for social good but merely packaged for sale. In a series of humorous observations and practical ideas, Brabazon shifts the focus of the university back to learning and includes the benefits of the digital age, but not at the expense of real teaching. He differentiates information literacy and real understanding, flexible learning and wastes of time, popular culture and culture to be transmitted as a part of being a civilization, and the changes that must come to critical literacy in a post-9/11 world. Perhaps the academe wishes to survive and will take notice. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
