Reviews
"...a welcome addition to the school-to-work / career collection." -- Education Libraries
"This is an excellent description of how and what people learn at work. The author argues convincingly that a common misunderstanding about the concept of work diminishes the significance of the workplace as an educational institution." -- Qualitative Studies in Education
