Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Human Resource Management   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
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.

2) Too Expensive but there's hope.   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
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.

3) Keep This One on Your Shelf   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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.

4) HR Management Book Review   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
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.

5) Good infos   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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.
