Written in a conversational yet critical way, and full of recognizable vignettes, The Mentor′s Guide is a wonderfully helpful compendium of ideas and resources that can be read profitably by novice and experienced mentors alike."
Stephen Brookfield, distinguished professor, University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis

Victoria J. Marsick, Teachers College, Columbia University
