Review
Suitably emollient on the whole, though with sharp edges in places, this compendium of low living and high thinking, of student press and Nobel Prizemen ... will enjoy a wide readership. --The Times Literary Supplement
Chock-full of images and bursting with contributions from a veritable Who's Who of twentieth-century Cambridge alumni, Pagnamenta's book is entertaining, informative, and up-to-date. Four stars. --Varsity

This lavishly illustrated, beautifully designed and produced hardback volume traces the University's growth and developments from its small beginnings to tomorrow's aspirations. The book features expert, informative and entertaining contributions from leading Cambridge figures of every generation, and takes in every part of extra-curricular life from rowing and rugby, political involvement and the Union, to writing, acting and directing. It is illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photography alongside a rich selection of images from university archives. Themes and topics in the book: Foundation of the University, Growth of the Colleges, Philosophy and Classics, Humanities, Mathematics, Science and new disciplines, New directions in research, Opportunity and admissions, Architecture old and new, Libraries and museums, Drama and performance, Music and arts, Sporting achievements, Spiritual Cambridge, Remarkable personalities, University government and finance, and Future plans and revision.
