Abstract
THIS book is a thoroughly competent piece of workmanship which to some extent breaks new ground in that, unlike most 'careers' books, it indicates the trend of numerous occupations for university-trained men and women in industry and attempts to demonstrate the opportunities for service to the community which lie therein. In this his first objective, Dr. Dunsheath sets out deliberately to overcome some of the prejudices against entering industry which, according to Sir Lawrence Bragg and others, are sometimes manifest among students. While thus endeavouring to satisfy the ideals which often influence such students, Dr. Dunsheath remains essentially factual and has assembled a considerable amount of information not otherwise accessible in one volume, which should make his book of real value to the university appointments boards and to the higher appointments officers of the Ministry of Labour and National Service.
