Binge: Campus Life in an Age of Disconnection and Excess, by Barrett Seaman
Binge: Campus Life in an Age of Disconnection and Excess
by Barrett Seaman
310 pages (hardcover)
Genre: Nonfiction/Education
An interesting enough book, again, if you happen to enjoy college research. It doesn't live up to the inflammatory title and is actually a documentary-like open look at college life. Seems impartial, too, with admitted and minimized biases (Seaman is an alumni and trustee of Hamilton College, one of the schools covered). Twelve diverse colleges and universities are examined in a neat extended journalism piece. From the title, you should be able to tell if you'd be interested; Binge obviously appeals to a certain specialized audience.
