    This is a masterful pulling together of the available knowledge about career research and practice, written in a lively and practical manner. All people who have, plan to have, or study careers could profit from reading this book.

    The management of careers is a critical issue for both individuals and organizations these days. This work provides a much needed textbook that can be of great help to instructors, students, managers and practitioners, and to everyone who is or will be in employment. Baruch, a well-known careers scholar himself, manages to achieve the balance between maintaining high academic standards and providing a useful resource for non-specialists.
