Trembling in the Ivory Tower: Excesses in the Pursuit of Truth and Tenure    by Kenneth Lasson
Price: $6.99 USD. 67780 words. Language: English. Published by Bancroft Press on June 16, 2010. Nonfiction » Politics and Current Affairs » Public affairs.

Lasson uses his sharply pointed pen to skewer both the powerful and the petty, from perpetually outraged law professors and would-be literati to ethnic hatemongers with tenure.
