Google Laurent A. Daloz and a mix of hits come up. I'm very impressed with his quote, "Mentors give us the magic that allows us to enter the darkness; a talisman to protect us from evil spells, a gem of wise advice, a map and sometimes simply courage." – Laurent Daloz, author & educator; which is on the Marylhurst University Alumni Mentor Program page <http://www.marylhurst.edu/careerservices/mentor.php>
Not sure if he is still an adjunct professor at the Teachers College - Columbia University; but I like his scholarly interests posted on the website:

Checking another site for a book review - Daloz is an associate director and faculty member at the Whidbey Institute, a learning center on Whidbey Island, Washington. My home state :-). This site - wiley.com's (owns Jossey-Bass textbook publisher) description:
Revised and updated from the award-winning classic Effective Teaching and Mentoring, this second edition is a practical, engaging exploration of mentoring and its power to transform learning. Filled with inspiring vignettes, Mentor shows how anyone who teaches can become a successful mentor.
"Nowhere else are learning, development, and mentoring so vividly and engagingly written about than in Daloz's book. . . . Already a classic in the field, this second edition updates us all on the awesome power and responsibility inherent in the mentor's role."--Sharan B. Merriam, professor, Department of Adult Education, University of Georgia"Essential reading.... This book will help more of us grow into one of the most life-giving relationships we can have with another person, one that will bring deep fulfillment to our own souls. Daloz has given a great gift to all who teach and learn."--Parker J. Palmer, author of The Courage to Teach
Two heavy-hitter adult ed authors. Two down - eight more to go . . .
