Quote:At the moment a university that chooses to use its means to reach out to the general audience, shoots itself in the foot.On the contrary, I think/hope: they will make a lot of money and have an awful lot of "soft publicity" if they invest in good books.
If I look at the costs and profits of my own books, and if I look at what those page-sized advertisements in the newspapers cost, I think that universities should spend their money on nice and good books, and earn money instead of spending it on advertisements...
Quote:I am in disagreement where Tom Holland and his so called danger is positioned by Jona.He has not read the books he claims to have read, and has made himself -perhaps unintentionally- a parrot, repeating propaganda claims of the late Shah. Whatever you think about narrative history, it may never become tainted with politics.
