...quest for answers has been hindered by doubt: is dreaming a mystery worth solving? Science has long had an uneasy relationship with our nocturnal imaginings. While some brilliant practitioners have worked-and do work-in the field, its links with mysticism and Freudian theory have repelled others like a bad odor. Everybody dreams and most people talk about theirs now and again. But once, as children, we learn to distinguish these delusions from reality, dreams usually become no more than a sideshow, sometimes disturbing, occasionally poignant, but mostly something to be forgotten, quickly and completely, if they were remembered...
...weight” as research in deciding professorial salaries. Effecting her and her task force’s recommendations will be critically important in the face of many professors’ tendency to devote scant attention to pedagogy in favor of research, writing, and publication. Though scholarship is no doubt vital to any modern research university, it cannot function as such without quality instruction from devoted researchers.

No, such a book would surely be condemned as sexist writing and exiled to the shelves of some backwater bookshelf...
Harrowing stuff. But what is it for, all this looking back? No doubt, Mak's obsession with recollection is enhanced by another war raging in the Balkans in the late 1990s - a sharp retort to anyone who contends that Europe had put brutality and tribalism behind it. It was Dutch peacekeepers, after all, on whom fell the shame of Srebrenica, when they failed to prevent the massacre of 8,000 Bosnians at a U.N. safe area...
