多年来，当我们跟踪人们的职业生涯时，我们能学到什么？约瑟夫·C·赫尔马诺维奇专门针对科学家提出了这个问题，并在这里通过追踪55名物理学家在全国多所大学的不同职业阶段回答了这个问题。他探索了这些科学家对工作不断变化的看法，以揭示他们在工作中投入的意义，他们在何时何地找到了满足感，他们是如何成功和失败的，以及他们的工作节奏是如何随着年龄的增长而变化的。与此同时，他对受试者的坦率采访揭示了职业目标实现和未实现的方式、学术职业的挫败感，以及一旦确立，人们将如何应对可能出现的无聊和停滞。赫马诺维奇对美国高等教育专业人士进行了深入研究，通过他们自己的语言雄辩地讲述了这一点，他对机构如何塑造职业生涯的敏锐分析将吸引任何对学术界生活感兴趣的人。
What can we learn when we follow people over the years and across the course of their professional lives? Joseph C. Hermanowicz asks this question specifically about scientists and answers it here by tracking fifty-five physicists through different stages of their careers at a variety of universities across the country. He explores these scientists' shifting perceptions of their jobs to uncover the meanings they invest in their work, when and where they find satisfaction, how they succeed and fail, and how the rhythms of their work change as they age. His candid interviews with his subjects, meanwhile, shed light on the ways career goals are and are not met, on the frustrations of the academic profession, and on how one deals with the boredom and stagnation that can set in once one is established. An in-depth study of American higher education professionals eloquently told through their own words, Hermanowicz's keen analysis of how institutions shape careers will appeal to anyone interested in life in academia.
