New York: W. W. Norton & Company, (2015) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - A book which is even more necessary now than when it was first published, as attacks on liberal education continue. "Zakaria argues for a renewed commitment to the worlds most valuable educational tradition.. . [he] expounds on the virtues of a liberal arts education - how to write clearly, how to express yourself convincingly, and how to think analytically. For example, engineering is a great profession, but key value-added skills you will also need are creativity, lateral thinking, design, communication, storytelling, and, more than anything, the ability to continually learn and enjoy learning precisely the gifts of a liberal education." SIGNED on the half title page. Extensive notes. 204 pp. ISBN: 978-0393247688.
