Book Description
When a down-on-his-luck educational administrator arrives into the makeshift bus shelter of Cow Eye Junction, he finds a drought-stricken town and its community college on the precipice of institutional ruin. Struggling to navigate this strange world of bloated calf scrota, orgiastic math instruction, and onrushing regional accreditors, Charlie must devise a plan to lead Cow Eye Community College through the perils of continuous improvement to the triumphant culmination of world history. Iconoclastic, wry, and ambitiously constructed, Cow Country is Adrian Jones Pearson's most American work yet, deftly blending the lunacies of contemporary academia with the tragic consequences of New World nation-building. A must-read for anyone who has ever worked at an institution of higher education, or attempted to straddle partisan lines, this insightful novel offers a poetic requiem for the loss of our humanity - and our humanities.

Cow Country Essay's and a Little Slantwise Logic

Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781523257768
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Cow Country Essay's and a Little Slantwise Logic takes a hard hitting look at the failings of our Land Grant Universities to understand how profit on cattle operations is derived. They have been swayed by technology to attempt implementing technological solutions into the industry while ignoring the environment WHICH is our industry. We can no longer separate the environment from our industry. It is one and the same. Without a true understanding of the environment we are stumbling in the dark. The Land Grant Universities have failed to look around and see that the true innovators are close to the land, not sitting in front of computers perusing thousands of numbers that have little to do with what counts in profitability or reviving our grassland environments. This book contains the philosophy and direction that is lacking in university teachings. The knowledge contained herein is a combination or research and observations from the land. The natural world must be observed to learn how to manage within its parameters. Numbers alone cannot do this. University research is designed to pull out the variables to give a clean result. The person on the land has to work with the variables. They have to be observed and added into daily planning. The environment is a living, being, thing, not an abstract figment to be set aside until a later date. The Cattle Industry has to face up to the challenges of the 21st Century. There is no other choice.
