The Academic's Handbook
"This rather meaty volume, now in its third printing (the first edition debuted about 20 years ago) considers everything a budding academic should know about professorial life. It's aimed primarily at newly-minted Ph.D.s who've just landed on the shores of academe, but it also speaks to graduate students ready to shove off. In this sense, it's both a primer and a warning shot across the bow." --Mark Drozdowski, "Adjunct Advocate"
