Excellent Guide!.......2006-06-15

I'm an independent trainer and often look for resources that can keep me on top of my game. I have a library of training books -- some very comprehensive; some with only a few chapters of information that I can use. This book concisely covers mostly everything that I need to know as an experienced trainer. It's also a useful guide for new trainers or those who facilitate learning. Every bit of it was useful. If you need a good book to add to your own reference library, I would highly recommend it.

Not bad for novices.......2002-02-10

A good resource that covers everything from Facilitation to Techniques passing through evaluation and personal development. If you are a beginner or you are asked frequently to help other beginner-level trainers, then you would probably benefit from this book.

The Book is written in an easy and simple style that takes the reader through the different aspects of training logically and smoothly.

Solid, If Dry, Guide for the First Time Trainer.......2000-10-29

This is a reasonable summary of current techniques and strategies for training. The writing is a bit dry, and I got the feeling that this book was oriented towards human resources professionals. There is nothing wrong with that, but my preference is for a less academic style of writing. Still, it's not a bad choice, just not one of my favorites.

Reader.......2005-11-05

A very well written book on a subject that I often find "boringly" presented. I plan on using it as a complementary text for my graduate course in Instructional Design. It contains enormous amounts of information so well explained in a mere 190 page book. The concepts of training - from needs assessment to evaluation of the program, from principles of learning to concepts of motivation, from facilitating groups, presentation skills, planning and conducting a successful meeting ... the book is truly a gem. The book is unassumingly plain and small - no frills, just plain good and well presented information about organizational learning and training.

A must for teachers of adults!.......2000-03-26

Being an adult trainer for 10 years, I have always wanted to find a book that gave me the best advice on teaching adults. Well here it is! This books talks of so many important things when teaching adults, especially the chapter on motivation and Maslow's theory. To have it written so simply and so clearly, has been fantastic for all of my uni assignments. I use quotes from this book in almost every assignment I do on adult learning. Well done Authors, a fantastic training resource!

This book is a good overview of what is needed to effectively train staff. It covers everything from adult learning to evaluating programs. It doesn't offer depth on any topic, but if someone needs to learn about training quickly and easily than this is an excellent source.

Human Resource Development: The New Trainer's Guide
Edward E.; Donaldson, Les Scannell
Manufacturer: Addison-Wesley Pub Co
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: B000VXO3FO

Book Description

Both soil and air teem with microbes, many of which affect plant growth and health through symbiotic relationships ranging from the clearly beneficial, e.g. mycorrhizas and rhizobial infections that supplement plant nutrition, to the clearly harmful, e.g. pathogenic infections that reduce crop yield or destroy forests. Modern molecular approaches make it possible not only to identify all the organisms that comprise complex microbial communities but to understand their interactions with plants. Researchers with expertise in different symbiotic systems were able to share such knowledge at the First New Phytologist Symposium held in York, November 1995. The collected papers illustrate the molecular techniques available now and describe those being developed for the future. They present up-to-the-minute information in a style that makes it accessible to final year students and postgraduates as well as to those actively involved in researching symbiosis.

Customer Reviews:

Que lastima! It's really a romance!.......2007-07-05

The premise sounded good--a gritty mystery based in New York with a strong female ADA. Instead, this book is a female-in-jeopardy romance with some gratuitous violence thrown in. The strong female is bullied, successfully, by her obnoxious female boss. She continues to make stupid moves and bad decisions while decrying the possibility of the same from her teenage witnesses. Oh, and every once in a while, the author reminds you that the protagonist is Latina by having her think in Spanish phrases. This is a great title for those who love romances and have a strong stomach.

Just not up to snuff.......2007-04-25

I gave this book two stars because the writing is good, but....make no mistake, it's a romance. The author TRIES to make it a mystery, but there are just too many mistakes. Right off the bat, on page 10 the heroine walks into a room that, "reeked of vomit, feces and spoiling meat". I naturally assumed the bodies had been there for several weeks - nope. They'd only been dead a few hours! Bodies do not start to rot that fast - especially when the windows of the room were open and it was winter! Okay, I gave it a pass, and kept reading but found the characters totally unbelievable and not the least bit professional. On page 47 we had both Bridgit and Bernadette! Oy, why not just call them both Mary? With a darth of names to choose from, why on EARTH didn't the author find two at least a wee bit different? I immediatley got the two women confused. By page 52 we were in a full-fledged romance with sweating palms, heaving breasts and trobbing members. Okay I made that last part up but it was pretty bad. I gave up and went on to read a real mystery.

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-04-10

Michelle's second book was even better than the first! I'm not completely finished reading it but the excitement is almost coming to an end. I can't wait to read the next one.

Solid, fast-paced romantic suspense.......2007-03-14

When two overpriveleged, popular white teenagers wind up dead from a heroin overdose, Federal Prosecutor Melanie Vargas gets a call from her boss in the middle of the night wanting immediate results. One of the girls, Whitney Seward, is the stepdaughter of an important politician who is currently running for Senate. Melanie is expected to find the drug dealer who sold the girls the heroin, and bring him to justice swiftly and quietly. But to Melanie, this OD case isn't as open and shut as it sounds.

For one thing, the dead girls were students at the elite Holbrooke school, a wealthy private school. On the night that they died, another student went missing as well--a scholarship student, Carmen Reyes. Carmen's father is the janitor in the building where the girls were found, and she seemed to have no connection to the other girls. For this reason, Melanie finds it hard to believe when the same heroin the girls overdosed from is found in Carmen's locker. It all just seems a bit too easy, and Melanie is determined to get to the bottom of things. She wants to find out what really happened to the dead Holbrooke girls, and to bring Carmen Reyes home alive--sooner rather than later.

At the same time, however, she's been assigned to a task force with her ex-love interest, Dan O'Reilly. Dan is a third-generation cop with a body made of steel who Carmen almost dated awhile back. When he winds up on the same case as her, she wonders if she'll be able to stop thinking about his body long enough to get her work done. When these two get together, they have to work to keep their minds out of the past and their feelings for each other, and instead focus on the case at hand and figuring out who would have wanted to murder two innocent teenagers--who it turns out might not be as innocent as they appeared.

The Finishing School is the second book in Michele Martinez's series about Federal Prosecutor Melanie Vargas. I never read the first book in the series, Most Wanted, but had no problems following the story without it. Their are a few ends left untied (like how Melanie and Dan met and their past history) but most of it is covered pretty well in flashbacks. I thought the story was fast-paced and entertaining, even though romantic suspense generally isn't my thing. I can usually figure out the endings of these sorts of books pretty early, but that wasn't the case with this one (I did figure it out, but only in the last 50 or so pages). I'd recommend The Finishing School for anyone in the mood for fast-paced and entertaining romantic suspense.

Reads like a romance novel.......2007-03-03

The story was good, but a bit far-fetched. However, the further I got into the book, the more difficult it was to actually finish it (which I eventually did). The problem was that as the story progressed it became more and more like a trashy romance novel, making it difficult to enjoy the story itself.

Unless the author can get away from her emphasis on the childish behavior of the heroine, I doubt I would ever pick up another of her books.
