Their ability to identify and explain abstract concepts and then apply them rigourously to specific examples of career research is truly impressive. This book deserves to be a landmark in career studies and beyond - at last we have something that achieves what many of us careers academics have been calling for but have not delivered. The Social Chronology Framework deserves to become a key reference point for careers researchers in designing and interpreting their work, and in incorporating new ideas into their thinking.' John Arnold, Loughborough University 'This book ought to be read by every scholar who studies careers . It is a demanding book, but the deeper you go the more you will be rewarded. The authors carefully sequenced propositions, models and illustrative examples promote a rich appreciation of how career scholars can integrate and gain greater respect for one another's work. Moreover, the book provides a point of departure for conversations with scholars who study other topics - such as identity, role and leadership - which can also benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. We need more books like this if social science is ever going to fulfill its potential.' Michael B. Arthur, Emeritus Professor, Suffolk University, Boston 'HG and WM, as they call themselves in this book, offer us a historical and a sometimes detailed/sometimes witty perspective of careers scientific field studies, searching for better definitions, mapping connections between theories and presenting SCF as a device for tackling careers studies.'
