Book Synopsis


Trade Review
Worth reading. Summing Up: Recommended. * CHOICE, January 2008 *
Independent scholar Fisher has startling facts and figures and asserts that at least part of the problem in attracting and retaining new scientists is that women are openly discouraged in the classroom, in the lab, and in the boardroom. He finds that filling the "scientist gap" requires taking a hard look at universities that cater exclusively to white males and a "publish or perish" academic system in which having a female first name will guarantee you will perish. * Scitech Book News *
