Synopsis The Missing Professor by : Thomas B. Jones
Fresh out of graduate school and desperate to pay off her student loans, Nicole Adams joins the faculty at Higher State U, a small university with a dubious past located in the middle of the Midwest. On her second day of classes as a new assistant professor of philosophy, still flustered and disoriented, Nicole is plunged into a campus-wide mystery. Someone has ransacked the office she shares with the ill-tempered R. Reynolds Raskin, the department's senior professor, and he has since disappeared. Two weeks later, with Raskin still missing, Nicole receives a threatening phone call . . .Read one way, this is an entertaining parody of an academic mystery and a humorous take on academic life. Turning the book upside down reveals another purpose. Each chapter is constructed as an informal case study/discussion story, as is made manifest by a series of discussion questions intended for faculty development, new faculty orientation, and conversations among faculty, administrators, and academic staff. As the mystery unfolds, each chapter finds Nicole encountering challenging situations—such as, the first day of class, student incivility, teaching evaluations, peer observation, academic assessment, the scholarship of teaching and learning, faculty and student rights and responsibilities, core curricula, and tenure standards. This little book can be read and used both ways: as pure entertainment and as a series of informal case studies, spiced with humor, to help break down academic barriers and promote spirited discussions

Synopsis Conducting Business with Professor Spice by : Daniel Lafferty
Every Thursday, Gerald Gladwell visits Professor Anson Spice's tobacco shop. Gerald gives the professor an envelope from his employer, Mr. McGulliver, and Spice gives Gerald a small velvet pouch of tobacco. In almost two years of completing this weekly errand, Gerald has never questioned the contents of either the envelope or the pouch. But one particular Thursday, a question from a friend piques Gerald's curiosity: 'When have you ever seen Mr. McGulliver smoke a pipe?' This seemingly innocent question convinces Gerald that there may be more to his timid employer than he had previously suspected. When he discovers his missing sister's diary in Mr. McGulliver's office, he is unwittingly drawn into a world of adventure, mystery, and magic. If Gerald ever wants to see his sister again, he'll have to face ugly truths about those he trusts most. In a twisting, extraordinary series of trials that tests his loyalties and limits, Gerald learns that he'll need all the help he can get to deal with the consequences of Conducting Business with Professor Spice.
