Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS 2°5 remuneration and satisfaction resulted for them. Since its context is current anxiety about the "brain-drain", the study reports the movement of the graduate subjects away from and back to Britain. Its style is lucid, its form manifestly orthodox. A questionnaire, lengthy but capable of precise responses, was sent to a well-nigh complete population of subjects whose response rate was about 70%. The methodology and data take nine analytical chapters, I I I tables, five appendices and a couple of diagrams to present. Their objective posture does not prevent the authors revealing a shrewd subjective intelligence about their topic; nor does it diminish their concern that, in this sector where universities are growing so fast, they are not catering effectively for the increasing proportion of their post-graduate students who must seek employment outside the university (especially in technology and in the schools) but are fostering attitudes about research appropriate only for the decreasing proportion who can expect university appointments.
