An awesome book to read. Depending on the mood you are in, it can b an easy read or you could roam into serious thinking. It's a joy to read this book.

Amusing and serendipitous memories of Gervase Phinn's first year as County Inspector of Schools in North Yorkshire. The children he meets seem to be little adults, full of the language and prudence of their mostly land-worker parents; able to hold their own on the finer points of animal husbandry and farm management. "Don't yer know yer sheep then?" asks a serious little boy, aged six, whose reading...
I bought this just after I got the job, and it would have come in really handy for the interview, if only I'd known!
Unlike most educational books, it's not filled with nebulous ideas, jargon and rubbish in-jokes. Instead, it's just practical, unpretentious, informative advice on every page, nothing extraneous, no agendas being followed.
This book is a great resource for the graduate student who is interested in learning about counseling and vocational guidance. The ease-of-useage and the writing style are not the best of any textbook I have ever seen but it is definantly better than average.
