If you think academia is a prestigious place of serious, erudite professors... think again.Academia Obscura is a glimpse behind closed study doors: welcome to the eccentric and slightly unhinged world of academia... Leave your tweed jacket by the door.Step inside the ivory tower and let Glen Wright guide you on a journey through the weird, wonderful and often bizarre history of academe, from the very earliest injokes of medieval scribes.Learn how one cat tricked some of the greatest minds into awarding it tenure, how Colonel Gaddafi coauthored a thesis and why some rats wear polyester trousers. This irreverent book filled with levitating frogs, defecating penguins and superspecific scientific research shows you the rather sillier side of scholarly life.Academics will never take themselves too seriously again. And neither will anyone else.
