Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This guide, based on interviews with professors, graduate students, and administrators, takes a practical, comprehensive look at the ins and outs of graduate work in the humanities and social sciences. Editors Clark (Christian Education, Moody, 1991) and Palattella address every issue that liberal arts graduate students will face, preparing them for everything from the expected course load to financial concerns. The editors are frank about the difficulty of finding a job post-Ph.D., but the book is not without hope, listing plenty of employment possibilities and covering 23 disciplines that make up the humanities and social sciences. Each chapter juxtaposes the history of a given field with current developments and is rounded out by a discussion of that job market. Though the book offers only a simple list of the top ten schools for each discipline, based on the rankings of the National Research Council, this book steps beyond the bounds of most reference guides in offering the reader practical advice in everyday life of graduate school. Recommended. [This is the first book in a new imprint from the award-winning academic magazine, Lingua Franca.?Ed.]?Samuel T. Huang, Northern Illinois Univ. Libs., DeKal.
