|
Author: Nancy Matthews
Brief Description: Reduce the stress, ease the transition, and increase the joy of your next sabbatical. After the professional arrangements have been made, Sabbaticals 101 will guide you through the nuts and bolts of planning and enjoying an academic leave. Issues such as housing, finances, and the settling-in blues are addressed with humor and understanding.

She has supplemented this personal experience with interviews of forty other sabbatical veterans, as well as research on cross-cultural adjustment, travelling with children, living abroad, and returning home. Whether you are planning your first or fourth sabbatical, travelling across the world or just settling into a city nearby, read this book first!
