Publisher Synopsis
"The book is bursting with questions that bring on a knowing nod, and the sly Ms Mentor has a lot of cheeky answers, delivered with perfect look-down-her-nose-and-smirk sarcasm."-Times Higher Education Supplement "The divine Ms. M. is back, with realistic and witty advice about life in academia. Required reading."-Elaine Showalter, Princeton University "At last, Ms. Mentor Unplugged, Uncensored, and Unrepentant! This is a great and clear-headed read for junior academics trying to find their way to success through the thicket of professional obfuscation and a good reminder to senior people about just how confusing academe is to the uninitiated."-Cathy Davidson, Duke University "Part Emily Post, part Dame Edna, Ms. Mentor continues to dispense wicked truths in her trademark style. Tucking her professional advice into very funny and frequently appalling stories (I believe every one), she sends encouraging word from the only ivory tower left standing."-William Germano, The Cooper Union Read more...
