Acclaim for first edition: I know of no other work on the subject that collates and curates such a vast armamentarium of depressing, condemning data. Yes, to read this book is to be presented with example after astonishing example of situations that make the reader question, ultimately, how knowledge which is, after all, what is at stake manages to advance in the current academic environment. -- Steven E. Gump, Princeton University, US I found Moosas work to be commendable. This work is an interesting evaluation of modern academia and the problems within the system. I therefore recommend it to all academics. -- Marita Carnelley, North-West University, South Africa Publish or Perish is not a cheerful book, but it is one that all academics should read and consider. -- James Hartley, University of Keele, UK Professor Moosa describes in vivid terms the practical immediate effects and longer-term underlying faults of this [ POP] system. -- Hugh David, R+D Hastings, UK
