Philosopher Steven M. Cahn, the author of numerous works about higher education, here offers his most recent thoughts about life in academia. Among the issues he discusses are building a professorial career, motivating one’s students, making strong faculty appointments, choosing effective administrators, and maintaining a commitment to academic ethics. His approach is principled and practical, his writing clear and concise, his illustrations realistic and illuminating. The book is at once a mirror of the academic world as it is and a map to what it should be.
