This book is an analysis of the structural, policy, operational, and environmental matters that have contributed to the success of the University of California, what makes UC tick and what approaches have made it tick best. The book can also serve as a reference work, and for that reason many cross-references among chapters have been included, along with a substantial index and many citations in footnotes.--Back cover.
