Publisher Synopsis
For everyone who has ever wondered "how on earth" or "why in the world" people do the dirty work of prison guards, cops, community police, long-distance truck drivers, secretaries, nurses, HIV/AIDS/addiction caregivers, forensic pathologists and their technicians, or even cultural ethnographers in the academy, this book will be a tantalizing, provocative, enlightening, and entertaining read.
--H.L. "Bud" Goodall, Jr., Director and Professor at the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, Arizona State University
