Lily Orland-Barak offers us a breathtaking work of science ?ction.
Or perhaps I should say 'science and ?ction. ' The science side of
the equation employs sophisticated technique for observing and
describing interpersonal and intrapersonal dynamics among
professionals in education. Both dramatic and seemingly ordinary
episodes in the lives of teachers in relational tension with one
another are analyzed with scienti?c care, precision, and insight.
The scienti?c study of mentoring is like the scienti?c study of
soap bubbles - their formation, growth, and sudden exit from the
visible world with a nearly soundless 'pop ' Scienti?c and
intellectual tools can be used to describe and predict the behavior
of soap bubbles, to study their colors, shapes, surface tension,
and tiny mass. The same is true of the study of mentoring. But in
both cases, the greatest care must be taken to avoid popping the
almost m- ically elegant form - to avoid destroying the delicate
relationship by rushing in, by heavy attempts at control, or by
premature dissection, or even by paying attention too intensely to
a private, personal relationship. Mentoring is best studied by
being still, by listening with authentic interest, and by using our
peripheral vision. The science and the scientist have done their
best work here. The ?ction side of this ?ne book gives life to
telling examples of mentoring in action.
