  In the 101 Things I Learned series, expert professors (with the help of author/illustrator Matthew Frederick) distill the fundamentals of their graduate programs into fascinating morsels of bite-sized wisdom. With a conversational style, real-life examples, and helpful illustrations, two-page spreads in each title define common terms in the featured discipline, explain basic philosophies and evolving trends in the field, refute commonly held misconceptions, offer tips for everyday success, and feature advice and insightful quotations from industry experts. Almost as good as getting the advanced degree-- and a lot cheaper!--these clever little books are perfect for future, current, and former entrepreneurs/chefs/designers/filmmakers, as well as all perpetual students of life.
