Críticas:

"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

Interdisciplinary Mentoring in Science: Strategies for Success is a practical and engaging resource on interdisciplinary mentoring in all fields of science. This book outlines what successful mentoring is, what it is not and how these important concepts relate to scientists today. Chapters include real-world examples, tips, and interviews and content is backed by current evidence and research. This reference discusses the benefits and challenges of building a mentoring relationship and highlights noteworthy topics such as mentoring minorities and women and mentoring to achieve change.
