Young academicians are serious scholars and voracious readers who
are perennially in search of practical and inspiring advice about
their vocation. Their tenure-driven neuroses, combined with an
inherent competitive streak and an understanding of the importance
of public service, engender their quest for advice about life in
the academy. In Letters to a Young Academic: Seeking Teachable
Moments, Guy R. McPherson feeds a sophisticated audience hungry for
practical, inspirational, and witty advice. He begins by answering
the question, 'Why choose academia?,' then addresses the
fundamental nature of the 'life of mind' before addressing
questions that deal with the 'how' and 'what' of teaching. Finally,
McPherson turns to issues of career advancement and professional
service. Each topics is described in a series of personal letters.
This book is a quick read that will evoke laughter, reflection, and
contemplation for all young scholars.
This volume bridges the gap between ecology and natural resource management and, in particular, focuses on plant ecology as a foundation for vegetation and wildlife management. It describes how concepts and approaches used by ecologists to study communities and ecosystems can be applied to their management. Guy R. McPherson and Stephen DeStefano emphasize the importance of thoughtfully designed and conducted scientific studies to both the advancement of ecological knowledge and the application of techniques for the management of plant and animal populations.
