Rezensionen
"I enjoyed reading this book and will be recommending it to others who have an interest in managing research programmes...very timely as we all are dealing with many of the issues discussed and could learn a lot more about mentorship." --South African Journal of Science, Sep-Oct-14

".an accessible and useful text for every aspiring and practising scientist truly interested in changing the world through recognising and harnessing diversity, accomplishing scientific goals through a team approach (rather than as isolated individuals) and who has a willingness to embrace mentoring practice." --Chemistry in Australia,July 2014

"Olivero presents this guide to mentoring in the sciences, with a focus on reciprocity of the mentoring relationship, encouraging and being sensitive to diversity, and building effective mentorship programs within institutions. Each chapter provides blank space at the end to record thoughts and additions to the material. The book ends with a short chapter of Jungian metaphors to summarize the processes emphasized,." --ProtoView.com, February 2014
