Publisher's Synopsis
In producing this book, Gerald Mars has drawn upon his practical experience as a worker in over thirty jobs in the ten years before he entered university and of twenty years' experience as an academic researcher and management consultant. This book is therefore much more than just a consumer guide for the unwary, a warning for the gullible, though it is certainly that. But it redraws the map of occupational studies and in so doing will prove an invaluable guide to all who are concerned to find new answers and an understanding of old problems.
