description: Translated by Mary Ryan"Father Sertillanges' book provides a stirring yet discriminating account of the nature and dignity of the vocation to the intellectual life. It is above all a practical book. It discusses with a wealth of illustration and insight such subjects as the organization of the intellectual worker's time, materials, and his life; the integration of knowledge and relation of one's specialty to general knowledge; the choice and use of reading; the discipline of memory; the taking of notes, their classification and use; and the preparation and organization of the final production."--The Sign
