An interesting and accessible narrative.

--Mark Hulsether "Teaching Theology and Religion"

Faculty at all levels will recognize their own experiences somewhere in this short, perceptive, and ultimately entertaining account of academic life.

I would not be surprised if [Life on the Tenure Track] became one of the texts distributed by teaching and learning centers to new assistant professors at orientation workshops. It would serve them well.

Lang is a wonderfully engaging writer . . . he's obviously deeply committed to the craft of teaching and the craft of writing.

Offers a lively report on how it looks and feels to shoot the academic rapids today.
