- Summary:
- A new career in academia can be a challenge. Although academia's formal rules are published in faculty handbooks, its implicit rules are difficult to discern.

With humor and insight, leading academics share lessons they learned through their own hard experience. This invaluable guidance will help readers plan, play, and fulfill their potential in the academic career game.
