Original reviews of The Transformation of Work? ‘Wood’s collection is stimulating and in places excellent.’ British Journal of Industrial Relations ‘This collection makes a valuable contribution to thinking about contemporary work…The diversity of the authors and types of work settings studied are other attractive features.’ Walter R.
