Kato and Elias present this career text on person- and community-oriented service professions organized into three units. The first unit defines the discipline of family and consumer sciences,
discusses the structural aspects of families and communities that allow one to work at improving quality of life, and the social, environmental, and policy issues that affect such work. The
day-to-day realities and necessary preparation for careers in a variety of relevant fields are then detailed, including food and nutrition, hospitality, apparel, interior design, education,
social work and administration, human development, and resource management. Finally, career development is addressed, covering self-assessment, the research process, job search, and work
attitude. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
