College Composition and Communication, v 54(4), pp 666-669

Abstract
Louise Wetherbee Phelps discusses the difficulties in crossing "the bright line between faculty and administration, scholarship and leadership" (12), and many contributors address what David Schwalm calls the administration "puzzle ... paradox" (126): how people who often conceive of themselves as teacher/researchers fare when they become administrators. The book offers effective advice about problems, addressing ethics; aggressive students; legal considerations; and hot political issues, including working with literature faculty, managing part-timers, and how the universal composition requirement factors into WPA work. Bloom says the book offers "a combination of theory and specific information on a wide range of topics that can be translated into institutional scholarship" (xiii); as Meg Morgan says, "I prepare my GTAs to teach in this program" (394).
