Review:

An interesting and scholarly review of the factors involved in becoming a college teacher and researcher today....The author presents an ethical approach to the major decisions associated with one's career. (Career Opportunities News)

How I wish someone could have given me Victor N. Shaw's Career-Making in Post-Modern Academia.... It's the type of book you want to thrust into the hands of every student who sits in your office and says, 'I'm thinking of getting my Ph.D.'.... Shaw's book provides exactly the kind of insider knowledge every graduate student and faculty member must know to negotiate the often inscrutable academy...Good professional advice like this only come by way of a competent and caring mentor.... (Eric J. Anctil, Assistant Professor, College of Education, Washington State University The Review of Higher Education)
