A Sixty-Year Ride through the World of Education depicts the author's educational pursuits from elementary school to provost. Learning is followed by teaching and writing and, soon, academic administration. Interspersed among these thirty-three short autobiographical sections are fourteen others that deal directly and practically with educational topics. This short work is a rich introduction to the world of education in the last half-century.
Rudolph H. Weingartner emigrated to New York from Nazi Germany in 1939. He earned his doctorate in philosophy from Columbia University. His career as a teacher and scholar has included chairing three philosophy departments, serving as dean at Northwestern, and as provost at the University of Pittsburgh. He has written books and articles on numerous topics and has variously pursued his strong interests in music and art.
