This fifth edition of A Handbook for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is a thoroughly updated version of this popular and influential work.  As always, the book provides not only a firm foundation in the field required by those new to the profession; it also offers thought-provoking materials that are of interest to teachers more established in higher education.
