Books by Herbert I. London

Born and educated in New York, Herbert London knows this city of dreams as few do. The Broken Apple is based on his keen observations of New York's social, political, and cultural life over the critical decade of the 1980s.

The Transformational Decade attempts to show the transformation that took place in American life from the attack on the World Trade Center to the emergence of the Obama presidency. It illuminates a decade that challenged the essence of the free market and contested America's role on the world stage.

This book is a memoir of Herbert London's years at New York University. It follows his personal path from professor and ombudsman to dean of a new 'experimental' college. For anyone eager to learn about the evolution of higher education in the last few decades, this book is indispensable reading.
