DESCRIPTION:
Not sure what the audience is for this book. Not sure where this book fits, the theory part is on the beginner level, the application part is conceptual, the interviews are for like people in high school thinking about careers. Would be a ok book for "smart" teens interested in a general understanding of the field. Overall disappointing considering the background of the people involved. It's priced as a college level textbook, which I hope it would not be used as.
