About this title

About the Author:

Adam Sutherland is an experienced writer of nonfiction, specializing in popular culture, current affairs, and new technology.

From School Library Journal:

Gr 5-8-This set looks at glamorous, exciting, and artistic jobs. Information is arranged in brief paragraphs that seem to bounce around the pages, mimicking a fashion-magazine layout. Each title has a glossary near the beginning listing pertinent vocabulary called "The Lingo." In the spirit of the magazine feel, there are "Real-Life Story" features and "Poster Page" sections that highlight notable people from that career. The final "Get More Info" page in every title lists useful and entertaining print and Web resources. Given the somewhat scattered format, the brief index in each book give helps to find information. Good selections for browsing and for students who might be considering out-of-the-box careers.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
