This is a genuinely helpful, approachable and timely contribution to the field of mentoring, which is rightly gaining recognition for its benefits to Higher Education in the UK and internationally. The book is oriented towards practical usage by individuals who are looking to develop and hone key aspects of their skills for a variety of professional reasons (at all stages of their academic careers) and also Higher Education Institutions, not least in respect of the provisions that are made for staff (and doctoral researcher) development and training.
This book is an essential aid for anyone interested in how researchers can be supported too develop through mentoring. It not only tells us, it shows us, how mentoring can be applied as a range of programmes and practices to enable researchers to build their awareness and confidence, and to move towards the career outcomes they choose for themselves.
This is the definitive playbook for researcher mentees, mentors, and those who support their development. If you are considering or embarking on a mentoring relationship in the research environment (and beyond the hallowed halls of the academy), then you will gain considerably from the guidance and advice that this book has to offer.
