Mentor in a Manual guides the new assistant professor (or the recent Ph.D. recipient) down the winding and often complex road toward earning promotions and, ultimately, tenure. The authors cover the tenure track from start to finish, in a book that's as close to being a living, breathing mentor as any book can be. (Princeton University English Professor Elaine Showalter, called Mentor "the professional handbook that I most wish I could have had 30 years ago.") The book also devotes full chapters to teaching, research, and service - the three mainstays of promotion and tenure - as well as getting published in respected journals.
