What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Even if you think you’re a true Tar Heel, open this book to any page and you’ll learn something you didn’t know, like the actual origin of the term “Tar Heel.” (It was nice to finally have that cleared up.) Wonderfully written, UNC A to Z gives us the nuts and the bolts of Carolina without losing any of its magic. It’s a beautiful achievement.”—Lewis Black, comedian, author, and UNC alum

“Logically organized and, frankly, brilliant. Deeply comprehensive for those who want a broader historical look at the university. I can envision alumni and those with a deep affinity for UNC reading it from start to finish.”—Art Chansky, author of Game Changers and UNC alum
