′The first thing I really love about Paul Dowson's hugely comprehensive book is its clarity; he takes complex themes and turns them into accessible learning outcomes. The other thing to love is its humanity - it is insightful and borne of a deep concern about how students transition from higher education to working life and citizenship.′ - Jane Artess, Director of Research, Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU), UK
