Bright and well-researched. . . . For died-blue-in-the-wool Tar Heel fans . . . UNC A to Z will be a delight.--Gaston GazetteI love books full of interesting facts and little-known histories. . . . This one is a keeper! Even if I weren't a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill I would highly recommend this book.--WRAL
A serious and compelling university portrait. . . . A book, not just for Carolina loyalists, but also for everyone who wants to understand the complex mix of attributes of our first state university."-D.G. Martin, One on One
