This series is a collection of books dealing with various aspects of working in academia. It is based on my popular blog. There is currently only one book in this series: Writing effective promotion applications, but new books will be added regularly, so do check back! Books are reasonably priced to make them accessible for individual academics, as well as universities who would like to bulk-buy books for their staff members. However, for those for whom this price is still a barrier, similar information can always be accessed for free from my blog.
