Klappentext Coming to Terms: The Collected Works of Jane Blankenship, is an edited collection from Jane Blankenship and Janette Kenner Muir which provides a deeper understanding of how an academic life is composed--how ideas begin as simple seeds, germinating into a fully blossomed life; how career pathways often start by chance, by being in the right place at the right time; and how one must take risks while moving toward the future. These lessons reveal a brilliant career of a woman deeply committed to the life of the mind and the fostering of future generations.
