HIGHER ED: The Journal of Professor Grover C. Hammonds by Frank Strier offers an insider's look at what really goes on behind the closed doors of an ordinary college

ROLLING HILLS ESTATES, Calif. (MMD Newswire) August 25, 2010 -- HIGHER ED: The Journal of Professor Grover C. Hammonds by Frank Strier follows the personal and professional misadventures of a zany college professor.

In HIGHER ED Professor Grover Hammonds is caught in a bind. Should he take on a new, more challenging job at a think tank with more pay and give up the tenured security of his 25 years as a college instructor at Cablinasian State University? Racked with indecision, he begins to keep a journal of his experiences and imaginative fantasies.

Satirizing the world of college, HIGHER ED strives to target everyone from the faculty, students and administrators, to the book salespeople and the teachers' union. Vying for the reader's funny bone are details of Grover's home life, including his hormone-oozing teenage children, sharp-tongued octogenarian mother and suicidal cat. Grover finds the humor in an abundance of larger world subjects, too, including overzealous political strategists, doctor's office visits, misguided TV producers and silly language quirks. HIGHER ED shares Grover's insights into the esoterica of many historical events, where readers can learn how Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin decided on what to have for dinner at their conferences, and about Moses' post-Mount Sinai career in the major leagues.

"For every Harvard and Stanford, there are thousands of schools like Cablinasian State University," says Strier. "HIGHER ED is a long term insider's take of what most likely transpires in the numerous run-of-the-mill colleges and universities throughout the country, massaged gently for comedic effect."

HIGHER ED: The Journal of Professor Grover C. Hammonds is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
