• Sommario/riassunto: This book contains humorous recollections of the messiness and confusion that fill the days of a pre-tenure academic - from graduate school through the post-doc, and into the assistant professor days. The stories recount the experiences of pre-tenure academics in the thick of things and trying - perhaps unsuccessfully - to make sense of it all.
