Is a career as a professor the right choice for you?  With a perpetually tight job market in the traditional academic fields, the road to an academic career for many aspiring scholars will often be a rocky and frustrating one.  Here, three distinguished scholars--with more than 75 years of combined experience--talk openly about what's good and what's not so good about academia, as a place to work and a way of life. Quoted from the University of Chicago Press website (www.press.uchicago.edu).
	Building and Sustaining Learning Communities Sandra N. Hurd and Ruth Federman Stein		Successful Beginnings for College Teaching Angela Provitera McGlynn
Learning communities are small groups of students who come together with faculty and student affairs professionals to engage in common learning experiences.  In Building and Sustaining Learning Communities, the authors, along with many of their colleagues, describe the rationale for learning communities...the process for setting them up; and reflections on the unique environments. Quoted from the backcover (Bolton, MA: Anchor Publishing Company, Inc., 2004).

Quoted from the backcover (Madison, WI: Atwood Publishing, 2001).
