Articles that for years have delighted readers of Linc. Fisch's column in The Journal of Staff, Program, & Organization Development are now complied in a single source. The author's unusual perspectives, ability to make connections, and highly readable, thought-provoking style have made these articles popular material for reprinting or excerpting in The Teaching Professor and faculty newsletters on many campuses.

According to Wilbert J. McKeachie, these essays "are the best combination of wit and wisdom in all of higher education "
