As a member of our Faculty Association Executive, this book was assigned to us in preparation for a discussion with administration. I was more-than-pleasantly-surprised by how helpful this book is. It collects a lot of clear and valuable information about a topic about which a lot of people do not care the least. For those who do care a lot, however, this is a wonderful resource.
