Biography
Demick, Jack; Miller, Patrice M.
"This impressively edited book represents a major effort to document the importance of work in the process of human development....the questions addressed by the contributors are uniformly compelling."
—Science Books & Films"This is an eclectic group of studies -- an unusual combination of topics, theories and research methods. The qualitative approaches are refreshing, as are the strong theoretical foundations."
—American Scientist"Clearly Demick and Miller have realized their aspiration to chart a new territory. Their book expands the conception of adult developmental psychology by aptly demonstrating that work can provide the focus for study of development. In so doing, they have produced a unique book, hopefully one that will move psychologists to reconsider the roles of work and leisure in fostering adult development."
