Not only was this textbook in great condition once I purchased it, but it was very helpful in understanding the class I was taking. It contains well outlined material along with online bonus material and a CDROM was included.

This book was required for my online class. However despite the hardship I faced with the class, this book is great to explain the Human Resouce functions and what to expect. I suggest watch the videos in addition to the case studies.. That have lots of information on it. This is a beginner book on Human Resource therefore, keep in mind, you most probably have read some of the concepts else where. None the less its a great book to learn more about human resources.

The book is received in extremely good conditions. It has very good and interesting topics. Perfect for anyone who is searching for material with great tools to use at work.

All managers and HR professionals should have a copy of this textbook on their shelf. I used it for a graduate MBA class and liked it so much that I kept it instead of selling it back on this site--the true mark of a quality textbook. The examples used follow many current headlines, so it's worth picking up the latest edition available.

I found the international version for over 1/2 the price on ebay on through Amazion resellers. The lone diffs between both editions are the end of chapters exercises such as Case Studies and Film examples are missing. Hence, after chapter 1, pager #s are different. No big deal. I also liked the softcover edition since it weighs far less. Page quality / stock / ink is excellent.
