About this title

Review:

‘The papers it contains make compelling reading on the problematic nature of defining service activities and occupations, and the difficulty of accounting for the growth in service employment given the evolution of the broader economic system of which services are a part and the heterogeneity of the sector itself. . . . The structure of the collection has been carefully thought through and coheres well. . . . brings together a set of important articles from a diverse range of journals, the scope of which is likely to be represented in only the largest of university libraries’ holdings.’ Author: Niall Majury, Progress in Human Geography
