A better title (though less catchy) would be How Academics Think. That's really what this book is about--unless you're a PhD candidate, it's not about your professors.

A look at peer review and how professors judge each other in terms of academia. Not so much a look at the culture of professors as a look at how they are forced to act in small groups determining the fate of other professors.

Believe it or not, this is the best book for my socialization into literary studies XD.
