Beskrivning

Mentoring has always been an important factor in life and particularly in academia. Although the tips in this monograph are designed for helping all individuals who are interested in pursuing the study of science and science careers, a special mentoring focus is on those students who have not expe- enced the advantages of the privileged class.

From the reviews: "In this fourth volume in the Mentoring in Academia and Industry series, the focus is on mentoring to develop as well as maintain a diverse scientific community. ... The book is clearly directed at students, but raises important points for advisors as well. ... would certainly provide the basis for excellent guidance sessions. ... much of the advice about finding mentors and maintaining relationships, as well as the information on choosing careers, will be of benefit to any student." (Marion C. Cohen, Doody's Review Service, January, 2010)
