This Fifth Edition of the underground classic
This Book Is Not Required: An Emotional and Intellectual Survival Manual for Students breaks new ground in participatory education, offering insight and inspiration to help undergraduates make the most of their college years. This edition continues to teach about the college experience as a whole—looking at the personal, social, intellectual, technological, and spiritual demands and opportunities—while incorporating new material highly relevant to today’s students. The material is presented in a personable and straightforward manner, maintaining Dr. Inge Bell’s illuminating writing style throughout, and invites students to take responsibility for, and make the most of, their educational experiences.
