"Everything that Russell Jacoby writes is well worth reading. He's smart, independent, lively, well-informed and alive with the joy of intellectual combat. Agree with him or not-he makes you think and think hard about any and every subject he takes up." (Mark Edmundson, University Professor, University of Virginia, USA)
"For over fifty years, Russell Jacoby has been one of our most relentlessly contrarian critics. In lucid and punchy-ok, often snarky-prose, he has lamented the decline of genuine intellectuals, exposed the pretenses of academia, and challenged pieties on both the right and left, while all the time refusing to give up on utopian ideals. Gathering his scattershot efforts into one resounding blast of critical energy, Intellectuals in Politics and Academia is easy to argue with, but hard to put down". (Martin Jay, Ehrman Professor of European History Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, USA)
"Russell Jacoby is one of America's very finest essayists and this collection shows his masterly combination of style and substance. His illuminating investigations of leading thinkers and his biting critique of academic conceits are alone worth the price of the book. Its range is exceptional and, as always, Jacoby shows respect for the utopian imagination and those intellectuals who defend it. These essays are provocative and, just as important, a great read. Don't miss this book!" (Stephen Eric Bronner, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, Comparative Literature, and German Studies, Rutgers University, USA)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
