Princeton Education 2020

Princeton Education

Education We are pleased to present Princeton’s latest education offerings, a list dating back a decade ago to the publication of William G. Bowen and Derek Bok’s now-classic work, The Shape of the River. The current and evolving list includes books on the economics, history, sociology, and philosophy of college and university education as well as new books on scholarly skills.
