A sudden change in tenure requirements sends an assistant professor on a search for a quick research project, one that comes with big conflict of interest. Second printing. Gently bumped.

Jacket shows light wear at the edges, spine a bit sunned, in Brodart.. Inscribed By the Author. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
