Böcker av Gary A. Berg

This book contemplates what young artists and performers should know when considering an education and career in the arts, and how practical financial needs and self-expression are effectively balanced by artists.

Today women are outperforming men in college attendance and academic achievement. It's time to consider what this momentous change means for higher education and society. What forces are at play? What are the implications for higher education when women are a significant majority of students overall?

Drawing upon the data gathered from the US Census and US Department of Education, this title examines the question of who really benefits from public higher education. It engages with questions of social capital, opportunity, funding and access to education, and presents a discussion of social mobility, and the value of college education.
