      Gr 5-8-These two well-designed books describe a variety of careers in these popular fields. Because they help readers assess if these positions are suitable for their personality types and backgrounds, the titles are good choices for career exploration and self-discovery. They are also useful for research and reports. The nine chapters each provide answers to a specific question, such as "Is an entertainment job for you?" Sidebars and full-color photos appear throughout. Following sections furnish career information in different formats. "The Get Your Foot in the Door" sections offer tips for gaining experience and networking. A listing of professional organizations' websites and a "Market Facts" chart that cites the numbers of jobs, growth rate, median wage, and related jobs and skills, are appended. Because this type of information is usually not contained in one source and is challenging to find by other means, these two volumes are solid additions.-Caroline Geck, Newark Public Schools, NJ
