The Pulse of a Malaysian University

«This book provides an inside look at the intellectual fabric of an academic unit in a Malaysian university and in so doing makes a unique contribution to our understanding of higher education in the Asian context. The authors in this edited volume reflect the rich linguistic and ethnic diversity of the Malaysian nation and their intellectual diversity across a broad range of disciplines is particularly refreshing. I find this work highly enlightening...truly a magnificent contribution dedicated to those creating new paths in transnational higher education and research.» (Robert D. Milk, Professor and Director, Division of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies, The University of Texas at San Antonio)
«Rodolfo Jacobson’s edited compilation of research conducted by Malaysian linguists at Universiti Putra, Malaysia brings little known but solid research to the attention of linguists in the west.» (Maya Khemlani David, Professor of Sociolinguistics, University of Malaya)
