Reviews
From the reviews:
“The authors seek to integrate a differentiated base of knowledge in the three important areas of occupational, organizational, and public aspects of health. … The audience varies from academics in public health, engineering, and medicine to a broader audience. … The audience may include those who study and act upon improving society relative to work stretching along micro-, meso- and macro-scales. This would be my pick for university leaders willing to sponsor large scale debates and dialogue about society’s future in terms of work models.” (J. Thomas Pierce, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2014)Authors and Affiliations
