Booklist Review

Books in the Essential Careers series offer overviews of employment opportunities in their respective fields. Looking at many possible jobs within each category, every book introduces various career paths, the education and training required, and the rewards offered. Even in volumes where the jobs may seem specific, such as cosmetologist or dental hygienist, there are actually a variety of options open to interested students. Most double-page spreads include one or more color photos, drawn from a variety of sources. Sidebars supplement the text. Dental Hygienist presents the education, practices, and tools of the trade as well as career options. One section considers the prospects for men entering the field. This is good introductory information, competently presented.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2010 Booklist
