本期刊的读者不需要介绍1980-2004年期间的五次英国工作场所就业关系调查（WERS）。每一份调查报告都载有对当代工业结构、进程和成果的新见解，并产生了大量的进一步分析。调查中的时间序列元素也同样具有启发性，2000年，米尔沃德、布赖森和福斯的《工作中的所有变化？使用前四次调查的证据来论证英国的劳资关系体系发生了重大转变。本卷（以下简称《进化》）是Millward等人的继承者，因为它旨在利用WERS中的时间序列元素来绘制一段时间内的趋势。它涵盖了广泛的主题，包括员工代表，人力资源管理，冲突，平等和多样性，以及薪酬，仅举几例。有丰富的数据，近120个图表，其中许多将证明讲师无价。然而，《进化论》在三个重要方面与其前身不同：首先，它是一本编辑过的文集，有22位撰稿人提供了15章。第二，这些章节既要解释，也要描述，
Readers of this journal will need no introduction to the series of five British Workplace Employment Relations Surveys (WERS), spanning the period 1980–2004. Each survey report has contained fresh insights into contemporary industrial structures, processes and outcomes, and generated a substantial body of further analysis. The time series element of the surveys has proved equally illuminating, and in 2000, Millward, Bryson and Forth’s All Change at Work? used evidence from the first four surveys to argue that there had been a major transformation in the British system of industrial relations. The current volume (hereafter Evolution) is a successor to Millward et al. insofar as it aims to exploit the time series element in WERS to chart trends over time. It covers a wide range of topics, including employee representation, HRM, conflict, equality and diversity, and pay, to name just a few. There is an abundance of data with almost 120 figures and tables, many of which will prove invaluable for lecturers. Evolution differs from its predecessor, however, in three important respects: first, it is an edited collection with 22 contributors supplying its 15 chapters. Second, the chapters are concerned both to explain, as well as describe,
