Very valuable Book
Adds a good reader to our list of recommended books at postgraduate level.
Solid, dependable and refreshing - well written, focused and delivers what you would expect from a book on HRD
An excellent book, straightforward and can be used in the above mentioned course as a reading material. However, the book is not for first year students, it can be used for second or third year undergraduate students.
An essential reading for all students. Clearly explains all relevant to HRD concepts and introduces students and readers to HRD's fundamentals in a very comprehensive way.
Well structured and easy to understand content.
This is a comprehensive and easy to understand text on HRD. It is very useful for students in the early stages of their HRD studies as it will give them a good overall knowledge of key issues and concepts in HRD.
'Dave McGuire has done an outstanding job at clearly linking the old and new in HRD. Combining traditional themes such as adult learning, T&D, and learning organisation, with emerging topics such as creativity, identity, leadership development and (inter)national HRD, he moves our definition of the field forward considerably'
I will be adding this text to the recommended book list for the Human Resource Module. It provides learners with a broad spectrum of HR issues for them to read outside the classroom environment
