I marked this as "did-not-finish" because I only read the Australian chapter and some of the general chapters, due to time constraints. I have listed all the chapters below and marked those read with an asterisk.
1. Setting the scene
2. Student retention: a macro perspective from South Africa
3. Access and retention in Australian higher education *
4. Access and retention in English higher education: a parliamentary perspective
5. Institutional performance
6. Theory: a multiplicity of perspectives
7. Reconceptualising antecedents of social integration in student departure
8. Why students leave their programmes *
9. Succeeding against the demographic odds *
10. Promoting student success *
Some of the text now seems a bit dated (in the Australian chapter), but the content is interesting and useful.
