3.0 out of 5 stars
A Matter of Principle,
By A Customer
This review is from: Career Discovery Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
This 6 volume reference (published in black and white) clearly describes 500 careers: what people do; what education/training is required; how much people earn; where to get more information (although more web addresses are needed). I especially liked this resource's highlighting of how specific careers are interconnected. My main reservation is that the photographs in this resource could cause children to feel excluded. Only 41 of the 500 photographs (each career has a picture) showed African Americans in a leading role (17 of the 41 depicted manual skills) and only 5 photographs showed Asian Americans in a leading role (a computer programmer, a computer networker and an acupuncturist account for 3 of the 5). In the Index I found "School principles. See school administrators." Startling for a children's encyclopedia. |
