ABOUT THE BOOK
Authors Ludlow and Kent have crystallized, for serious minded graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members at various stages of their careers, their own outstanding research and teaching background of many decades. They painstakingly describe the virtual A to Z of career-building strategies in meticulous detail about “how to think,” “what to think,” and “why to think” and ultimately exchange their learned strategies toward a more rewarding academic life. Within each of the 11 chapters these authors share their experience, knowledge, and wisdom. The readers today can find answers to virtually every possible important question that will play an important part in the entire span of their careers.
