{"product_id":"9780740786549","title":"Monk's Reflections: A View from the Dome","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I am excited to have this opportunity to share some of my experiences and considered reflections. . . . I hope to provide some sense of what the world looks like from my desk as the president of Notre Dame.\" --Father Edward Malloy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book falls into three parts: \"The University President,\" in which Father Malloy explains the president's role; \"Academia and the Life of the Mind,\" in which he examines the practices of teaching and scholarship in the contemporary university setting; and \"The Collegiate World,\" in which he comments on the nonacademic facets of college life, including athletics, residentiality, and religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFather Malloy writes in a warm, personable tone, often touching on his own life experiences. He is not afraid to voice strong opinions, but he does so in a compassionate manner that speaks well of him both as a priest and a president, and that makes for an eminently readable book.  Notre Dame alumni are among the most dedicated and loyal in America, and will enjoy reading about Father Malloy's experiences. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrews McMeel Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106870968560,"sku":"9780740786549","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780740786549_p0.jpg?v=1763632705","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780740786549","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
