"The effect of this book is to communicate extremely well what it was like for each writer to move through the experience of understanding their own professional insights — their curriculum for being. This has never been done before (to my knowledge) in a group context and with the intent of exhibiting the formal method of research by which this was done. It is at once personal, fascinating, profound, dramatic, and instructive." — Edmund C. Short, The Pennsylvania State University"The book fascinates in that it really does invite the reader to extend the metaphors and to elaborate her own associations on 'turnings' and 'makings.' We really see reflective teaching and scholarship at work here." — Jo Anne Pagano, Colgate University
