How can students and scholars effectively prepare for—and succeed at—a career as a nonacademic practicing anthropologist? This comprehensive guide, full of practical detail, presents the answers.

Nolan relates how students, recent graduates, and beginning professionals can acquire and use the skills essential for work as a practitioner. A key feature of his book is its comprehensive focus: he systematically moves from preparation, to finding one's first job, to career survival and management. The book concludes with a detailed discussion of how to turn a career in practice into a solid contribution to both the profession and the discipline. The result is an important reference for current practitioners—and a must-have handbook for beginning anthropologists.

Riall W. Nolan is associate provost and director of the Institute for Global Studies and Affairs at the University of Cincinnati. He has worked as a practitioner for a variety of international development agencies, including the Peace Corps, USAID, and the World Bank. He is author of Communicating and Adapting Across Cultures and Development Anthropology: Encounters in the Real World.
