Wolfpack Ramblings - Larry A Nielsen - Bog

Here''s something special for the entire Wolfpack family! Larry Nielsen, professor emeritus at NC State, offers 32 entertaining stories about all aspects of life at the university, everything from the marching band to the Free Expression Tunnel and the joys of having a twelve-foot python in class. Nielsen, who was a college dean and the university''s provost as well as a distinguished undergraduate teaching professor, provides his unique insights--and humorous style--to tell about the people, places and events that have shaped NC State over the decades. He is author of two recent books, Provost (2013) and Nature''s Allies (2017). Most recently he has created the website Today in Conservation (todayinconservation.com), which includes stories from the history of conservation and the environment for every date of the year.Widely beloved for his nearly 300-student class on Conservation of Natural Resources, Nielsen continues to give back to the university: He will donate $1 from the sale of every book to a scholarship fund at NC State.
