Description: Originally published in hardcover in 1998 by Syracuse University Press.
Review Quotes: John Short has written a 'baffling geography, ' appealing to all who know that the word 'student' is always an honorific, and to those who revel in their own, multiple, and self-aware 'positionalities'. Short's essays on the academic world will produce laughter in some and scar tissues on others. This is a book to be enjoyed with chuckles between moments of deep and serious reflection.-- "Peter Gould, author of Becoming a Geographer"
