About this title

Synopsis

“To achieve and maintain the excellence they desire, American universities and colleges increasingly recognize that they must recruit and retain the best faculty, staff and students. One significant way of doing this is by providing innovative work-family policies and practices. This groundbreaking book by Jaime Lester and Margaret Sallee documents the advances made by leading colleges and universities to become genuinely family-friendly campuses and in so doing position themselves on the path to excellence.”―Kathleen Christensen, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

This book documents the “best practices” currently in use at institutions across the United States so readers no longer have to develop practices in isolation, and without evidence of their effectiveness.

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on standard-sized books weighing up to 4 LB, or 1.8 KG. If your book order is heavy and/or over-sized and the shipping address is OUTSIDE of The United States, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.

At Mahler Books, we make no attempt to over-charge for shipping. Sometimes International buyers are surprised to discover the high cost of shipping heavy or over-sized books.
If you are located OUTSIDE of The United States, and you are ordering a heavy or over-sized book, the shipping costs are estimated to be about 42 US dollars. This is the cost of the Global Priority Flat Rate Box. I agree that this shipping cost seems excessive, but this is what the Postal Service charges me, and this is the cheapest rate I have been able to locate for large books weighing over 1.8 KG.
