This book is great. It is about mathematicians and their life.
Most of them like teaching and thought about math teachers before knowing mathematics as a profession existed.
There are others that do a lot of administrative stuff. Others like editing. It is also about postdocs, moving from one
place to another because of this or moving from Europe to the US because or WW.
