Customer Reviews

Good, but I like books slightly more detailed.

I enjoyed this book because it gave good descriptions of unusual jobs. The interviews gave it a personal touch and helped give the articles some extra information which might have remained unknown through normal research. My only complaint was with such fields as anthroplogy. I liked the passage, but they only interviewed a cultural anthropologist, which left out many other fascinating branches of the field.
