Reviews
“David Culver is sui generis and that is what makes reading this book such a pleasure. Consistently persuasive, in part because of the richness of detail, Expect Miracles is both highly instructive and inspiring. A truly outstanding book by an amazing human being.” William G. Bowen, president emeritus, Princeton University and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
