Career Change Without Starting Over

Pivot at 30, 40, or 50: map transferable skills, test a new field cheaply, and explain the switch to employers

The European Union (EU) is marked by historical connections, socio-economic interdependencies, and shared challenges in labour market development. Despite these commonalities, the region is also characterised by significant diversity in economic structures, demographic trends, political contexts, and educational systems.
This volume responds to the urgent need for a nuanced, comparative understanding of employability across the EU - in the face of digital transformation, demographic shifts, and post-pandemic economic recovery.
The purpose of this publication is to provide a multidisciplinary and evidence-based exploration of the key factors shaping employability across the EU. It critically engages with issues such as skills mismatches, youth unemployment, gender disparities, informal work, and migration, offering insights into both persistent challenges and emerging opportunities. By drawing on case studies, policy reviews, and regional data, the book presents a rich mosaic of experiences and diverse approaches to workforce development.
Contemporary Studies in Economic and Financial Analysis publishes a series of current and policy-relevant themed volumes within the fields of economics and finance. Both disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies are welcome.

Life Skills for the Reluctant Grown-Up

Adulting Made Easy

An empowering guide to the many ways of noticing, connecting with, and documenting the world around you, based on the renowned workshop that Kristin Link has been leading in remote Alaska for over a decade.&nbsp;​ For over 15 years, artist and illustrator Kristin Link has taught everyone from children to experts to draw everything from a single acorn to a breathtaking mountain vista. Now her popular field sketching course is available as a guide that anyone can use.&nbsp; Discover the Art of Field Sketching is a nature illustration book for artists of all skill levels. It starts with the basics of pen, pencil, and watercolor, then introduces more advanced techniques for complex landscapes and animals in motion. It features visual subject matter for wherever you live: you can learn to sketch a night sky, a backyard bird, or a squirrel in the park as well as a rugged mountain wilderness. The book includes 30 step-by-step lessons, and many more&nbsp;inspiring examples of finished products. It also focuses on the meditative and philosophical aspects to field sketching, like slowing down, presentness, and learning to love nature of all sizes.&nbsp; Discover&nbsp;The Art of Field Sketching is just as informative on why to get into field sketching, as it is on how to make the most of your projects.

Pop-Up Playtime Masks

A board book that turns into a dinosaur, for the age when everything has to be loud.
Every spread has a pop-up mask and a lift-the-flap reveal, with handles built into the board so small hands can hold the book up to their face and become the thing on the page. The text invites stomping, growling and roaring, which is either the point or the problem depending on the hour.
Underneath the noise it is doing real work. The onomatopoeia supports early speech, the flaps and handles build dexterity and motor control, and the whole thing is made for siblings, friends and grown-ups to play together.
Sturdy enough for toddlers, good for playdates and rainy afternoons, and an easy gift for a preschooler who already knows more dinosaur names than you do.
<ul>
<li>&nbsp; Pop-up masks and lift-the-flap reveals on every spread</li>
<li>&nbsp; Sturdy board book with built-in handles</li>
<li>&nbsp; Made for group play and pretend play</li>
</ul>
Look out for the rest of the Pop-Up Playtime Masks series, including Monsters, Spidey and His Amazing Friends and DC Krypto and Friends.

Epistemic autonomy worth valuing requires epistemic dependence on others, as well as on tools and technology. In How We Govern Our Minds Through Others, J. Adam Carter and Neil Levy argue that epistemic autonomy worth valuing requires various kinds of epistemic dependence on others, as well as on tools and technology. Challenging the Cartesian ideal of self-sufficient knowledge acquisition, they show that epistemic dependence is both inevitable and beneficial. Self‑governance is mediated by social relationships and institutions; we manage our beliefs and attention through collaborations, trust, and the influence of others. What emerges is a reconceptualization of epistemic autonomy as deeply social and deeply scaffolded. Integrating insights from philosophy, cognitive science, AI ethics, and media studies, the authors offer a positive, socially scaffolded conception of epistemic self‑governance. The topics they explore include epistemic autonomy in connection with hijacked attention, intellectual collaboration with others in group settings, artificial intelligence, first-hand insight, nudging and questioning, epistemic feedback loops, and adaptive control. Their arguments have ramifications for educators and designers of digital platforms, as well as those working in the emerging landscape of AI law, digital rights, and mental privacy.
