Academic leaders and policymakers take note: Faculty Career Paths is a book you will want to read sooner rather than later. Bataille and Brown have combined their own considerable experience with informative research about the changing routes faculty take to enter the contemporary academic marketplace. In so doing, they capably raise the questions "Who is the new academy?" and "What factors influence individual career satisfaction and success"?... Each chapter includes compelling commentaries written by experienced practitioners, examples of best practice and concrete recommendations for how leaders and institutions can strategically improve hiring, retention, leadership and work-family practices in order to successfully attract, reward and retain quality faculty. Anyone working with faculty employment, development or retirement policies will find this book compulsory reading.
