They famously shuttle coffee in a thousand magazine offices, legislative backrooms, and Hollywood studios, but they also deliver aid in Afghanistan, map the human genome, and pick up garbage. \u003ci\u003eIntern Nation\u003c\/i\u003e is the first expos  of the exploitative world of internships. In this witty, astonishing, and serious investigative work, Ross Perlin profiles fellow interns, talks to academics and professionals about what unleashed this phenomenon, and explains why the intern boom is perverting workplace practices around the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe hardcover publication of this book precipitated a torrent of media coverage in the US and UK, and Perlin has added an entirely new afterword describing the growing focus on this woefully underreported story. Insightful and humorous, \u003ci\u003eIntern Nation\u003c\/i\u003e will transform the way we think about the culture of work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ross Perlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844678830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844678839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Ross Perlin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938927706367,"sku":"9781844678839","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f3425823-aec3-46e3-9a51-265dd8640c55.jpg?v=1681438501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intern-nation-ross-perlin-9781844678839","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
