Sommario/riassunto

<P>All too often a culture of silence permeates academia, where faculty and administrators ignore or misunderstand difficult situations. <I>A Faculty Guide for Succeeding in Academe</I> is a practical guide for prospective and current faculty that addresses real, complex issues that are too often left unexamined. Chapters explore typical aspects of the faculty career and life cycle-such as appointment, tenure, promotion, incivility, plagiarism, teaching, online delivery, interactions with chairs and deans, and performance appraisal-but focuses on the prickly issues as well as the routine. </P>
