The Academic Career Handbook

Three University of Warwick education colleagues cover the range of issues about employment in the dramatically evolving world of higher education for recent graduates, their mentors, and the upwardly mobile. This handbook offers reality checks and guidance on the key career tasks of networking, teaching, researching, assessing, writing, getting published, obtaining research funding, managing, and last but not least, getting promoted. While the data and focus are on the UK, the trends are generalizable. Distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
