Book Reviews of Write to the Top!: How to Become a Prolific Academic
Book Review: Excellent for a new faculty member, mentor, department chair, or Dean
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish this book had been writen 25 years ago when I began my academic career at midlife. The practical recommendations on how to become a journal article powerhouse producer are on the money. However, more significantly are the suggestions on how to set goals and to accomplish then in order to become a "University Professor" are even more important in the long run. A top ranked university expects excellence in teaching, research, and service. But the ONLY activity that really counts for tenure and promotion are research articles. Excellent teaching counts for little (teach well enough that your students do not want to run you out of the classroom). Service is less than nothing unless it develops your national and international reputation as a scholar in you field. Faculty mentors will certainly benefit from reading the content more than once.
I also strongly suggest that all chairpersons and Deans should read this book also. The book tells how to nuture the new scholars in order that they actually achieve success in academics. I hope to create a study group around this extrodinary book in order that that all of young faculty members can achieve success both professionally and personally.
