Recenzii

"Highly recommended. Upper–division undergraduate through professional collections in business, health, and psychology." (Choice, 1 March 2011)

"Though, as may be expected, some chapters are stronger as a review than others, this first volume of a series on contemporary OHP by Nottingham University and Wiley–Blackwell is a commendable initiative." (Scandinavian Journal of Work, 2011)
