Laurence A. Weinstein's "Moving a Battleship with Your Bare Hands: Governing a University System" is a critical exploration of the complexities involved in managing a university system. Published by Magna Publications, Inc. in Madison, Wisconsin, this 1993 hardcover first edition provides insightful case studies from the University of Wisconsin System. Weinstein, an experienced academic, delves into the challenges faced by college administrators, offering a unique perspective on governance and administration. This edition is particularly significant for its focus on the attitudes and strategies within Wisconsin's educational institutions. The book is ex-library, with a stamp from the Board of Regents, University of Colorado, indicating its previous use in academic settings. Its scarcity as a first edition makes it a valuable addition for collectors interested in educational governance.
