Найти книгу: "Researching Abroad"

The plane has landed, the boxes are unpacked, and you're finally doing what you prepared for years to do, teach in a distant classroom. This preparation- aside from a decade or more of post high school education-included conferences, extensive research, advice from seasoned travelers, interviews, and hours of family discussions and prayers. One notable omission was likely made in your preparation, an omission that may go unnoticed until sitting at your new desk five thousand miles from home: practical advice on how to conduct research abroad. This brief, encouraging, and easy-to-read book provides advice, with down-to-earth tips and tools, for professors in the arts and humanities who aspire to research and write while living internationally.

The book details a journey by the author, with his friend Harris (a character created for the book, and based on his closest friend, Joseph Twichell), through central and southern Europe. While the stated goal of the journey is to walk most of the way, the men find themselves using other forms of transport as they traverse the continent.

A great writing by Mark Twain based on the short story of classic humour.
