Summary:
"Recent developments in academic mentoring have challenged long-standing conceptions of the mentor-mentee relationship as a top-down, wisdom-bestowing proposition. There is growing awareness that for the majority of their working lives, academics are both mentors and mentees, and have shifting needs and obligations as their careers progress.

This book offers theoretical and practical tools to help them on their way and indicates how institutional resources can be mobilized in support"--Back cover.
