University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

I think an excellent textbook is one that provides students with an overview of what they need to know to get started in a new field of study, in a friendly way that helps them understand new concepts. This book really helped me start research in the nanoscale heat transfer field, which eventually allowed me and my research group to write exciting journal articles and secure research funding. There is no doubt that this book helped me become a tenured faculty member at Penn State!
