*CHOICE*
The annotations are detailed and informative, as is the preface
that thoroughly explains the underlying links between human work,
communities, and society identified by the authors. This
bibliography is a useful research, reference, and collection
development tool.
*American Reference Books Annual*
Healthy Work is recommended for academic libraries supporting
graduate or undergraduate programs in occupational health,
industrial technology, industrial psychology, business
administration, or industrial design and for special collections or
departmental libraries in those areas. Certainly libraries holding
the previous bibliographies in this series will want to add this
one. Corporate libraries with active or proposed wellness programs
would find this title a useful addition in keeping with
Vanderburg's stated purpose.
*Medical Reference Services Quarterly*
...the authors examine typical workplace conditions and locate
literature that addresses possible causes. The literature is listed
alphabetically by author, but listings include key words and
phrases which are the basis of the vitally important keyword index.
Some of the issues the literature addresses include equality,
psychology, management, morale, professional culture, stress,
alienation, work design, and unions.
