'The mindless focus on centres of learning as corporate entities,
in which publication for its own sake, tenuous tenure and narrow
research is the order of the day, is producing an intellectually
dead environment in which bureaucratic zombies are sucking the life
out of teaching and learning'
*David Canter*
'This volume utilizes the metaphor of the zombie to explore what it
means to learn and teach within a system bereft of genuine
animation, vitality and free will.'
*Canadian Association of University Teachers bulletin*
