World of Work series.
This book covers a wide range of career opportunities in the fashion industry--from window display design to cosmetology to modeling--and includes sections on education, training, and how to find a job. The pedestrian text is informative, but the photographs are dull--disappointing in a book about fashion. A list of related addresses and websites is appended. Bib., glos., ind.

World of Work series.
The text-heavy pages of this book's nine chapters explore topics from a firefighter's duties and educational requirements to possible future influences of technology. A few interviews with current firefighters offer a realistic view of the vocation, including its special challenges for women. The language is clear if pedestrian. A number of photos, mostly black-and-white, illustrate the volume. Bib., glos., ind.
