Professor Glanz harks back to an earlier era that was traditional in blending scholarship with current policy developments: The New York School of public intellectuals. This book is timely, written within a tradition of the public intellectual. It can also serve as a manual of how to teach and lead schools despite the ravages of an epidemic and other crises. It is a breath of sanity in a threatening world. -- Maurice R. Berube, Emeritus Eminent Scholar of Educational Leadership, Old Dominion University
