- catalog abstract ""Land-grant universities and their Cooperative Extension Services are unique facets of higher education in the United States. The original purpose of extension, bringing applicable solutions from the science and research of the land-grant institution to the people of the home state, may be in peril as the needs of the public evolve. In Land-Grant Universities and Extension into the 21st Century: Renegotiating or Abandoning a Social Contract, George McDowell presents a concise history of the land-grant universities and their relationships with extension; then he examines possibilities for the future. From this basis, he then suggests specific action steps for maintaining the value and viability of extension's service to the people." "University and extension administrators and staff, educators, and policy makers will find that the scope of these perspectives makes this book an illuminating resource."--Jacket.".
