Childress, Herb

This well-written, effective work will be appreciated by graduate students hoping to become faculty, as well as high school guidance counselors, parents of college students, and those researching higher education administration.

The occasional personal biases notwithstanding, the book provides a balanced viewpoint and a wealth of valuable information that will benefit anyone considering or pursuing a higher education faculty or administrative career. General readers interested in what goes on behind the hallowed (and enigmatic) walls of academia will delight in this well-written, witty, and thought-provoking compendium.
