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. In his short essays, Fisch spans a broad range of topics: from the first day of class to cross-country trucking, from coaching to teaching calculus, from seven great truths of teaching to Mozart -- and a multitude more of interest and value. According to Wilbert J. McKeachie, these essays "are the best combination of wit and wisdom in all of higher education!"
