Review
The strategic nature of HRM is presented with a functional approach. The textbook is easy to read, is illustrated well, and is appealing to students. The ancillary package meets my expectations.

I asked several HR Master students to review 4 or so texts and yours was unanimously selected. Congratulations! I especially like the web links and the special charts of hot topics.

The material is covered at an appropriate level for undergraduates. The material is presented in a more interesting fashion (for undergraduates) than is the case in other texts. The topics are covered at about the right level of breadth vs. depth -- and all the major areas I focus on are covered.

Thank you for your professionalism, and quick service.

Human Resource Management
This book was endlessly useful because I was taking an HR Management class online and the textbook provided was an ebook. I have trouble reading books on my computer due to eye strain, so this book got me through my class.

Too Expensive but there's hope.
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.
