Publisher's Summary:
After a lone eagle was shot on a firing range in Afghanistan, former Army Ranger Scott Hickman and Navy SEAL Greg Wright rescued him and gave him a name: Eagle Mitch. They cared for him for months, but after it was clear hed never fly again, the two worked to find a safer place than the war zone they were in. Barbara Chepaitis was instrumental in coordinating the birds rescue and she recounts the story in her book Saving Eagle Mitch.
Then, imagine yourself floating along a slowly moving, comfortably heated river. Now imagine that youve got a term paper due at the end of the week because youre not on vacation or at a water park, youre at the University of Missouris student recreation center. The center, which has been named by Sports Illustrated as the best in the country, also features a 35-foot climbing wall, more than 100 cardio machines, and dozens of flat-screen televisions. And Missouri isnt alone. As Jeffrey Selingo reports in his recent book, College (Un)Bound, these student perks are part of the complicated landscape of contemporary higher education, where costs are rising, changes are coming, and outcomes are increasingly questioned.
