Treating careers as a subject area in its own right, Understanding Careers will provide you with a broad and holistic understanding of the careers field. Unique in bringing together both individual and managerial perspectives this book focuses on the relevant and emerging ideas within careers allowing you to fully understand the most current issues and relate these to everyday practice. New to this edition: * Includes new input from highly-regarded new co-authors Nicky Dries and John Arnold * Brand new chapter on Careers in Context allows you to understand the contemporary environment of careers post the economic crisis * Packed with real life international examples relating theory to practice * New Companion website provides both lectures and student resources This is a wonderful resource on careers for students, practitioners, and academics - a rich mix of current research, cases, practical examples, and creative lenses (metaphors) for seeing careers in a new way. It is equally accessible and stimulating for all levels of reader and it's all presented in lively, clear, and compelling writing - an extremely reader-friendly book! -- Douglas T. (Tim) Hall In this timely update of an iconic book, the authors deepen our understanding of career by inspecting its meaning from multiple perspectives on work lives. The innovations and elaborations in this second edition maintain Understanding Careers' reputation as a fundamental text in vocational and organizational psychology as well as keystone volume in career counseling. -- Mark L. Savickas A really valuable contribution...very effective in integrating the different branches of career studies. Very clear, and well argued. Right on the mark! -- Gareth Morgan Understanding Careers is the essential career studies textbook for general college and university-level courses. As with the first edition, the writing is crystal clear with a highly impressive range of scholarship skilfully marshalled from a number of disciplines relevant to career studies. I have used this excellent book for several years in my teaching and find it helps students easily make sense of the career studies field by linking images with contemporary case studies and exercises. This is a superb introductory text for career development professionals and their clients. This wonderful book has revolutionised the design and content of career management programmes in schools, colleges, university and the workplace. -- Phil McCash In a series of fourteen highly readable chapters, Kerr Inkson and his colleagues present a metaphorical approach to careers. The result is a series of insightful and contrasting views, each informative in its own right, and together a call for further conversation. Readers will be both entertained and enlightened by this book. -- Michael B Arthur A wonderfully original, rich, thoughtful, intelligent and helpful exploration of the complexities of making one's way through life, with excellent practical advice on how to go about doing so. The authors recognize the complexity of career, but use Inkson's framework of career metaphors to provide ways of making sense of it without trivializing as so many books about career do. Anyone using this book to teach or to learn about careers will find it immensely useful, rewarding, and enjoyable. -- Hugh Gunz
