Loewenberg, Gerhard

Gerhard LoewenbergComments from the author about writing: I wrote my memoir to encourage young political scientists who are just beginning their careers to realize that starting an academic career is often difficult but can ultimately be very rewarding.  Then I decided that many beginnings in my life were challenging.  By writing about 12 beginnings, I realized that I would have a way of relating how important episodes in my life gave me the opportunity to pursue an academic career.
