[Jeff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Required for 2nd-level college course on an introduction to HRD, this seemed quite comprehensive, but very dry and bland to read through. There is an incredible amount of information, lists, and bulleted points. The chapters each have objectives at the start and rather concise but complete summaries at the end, which both help enormously.

That HRD book? Pure gold. It turned buzzwords into real strategies I can actually use.
