I was very impressed with this book. I was in the process of ordering another copy when I was electronically offered the chance to share my thoughts on it with you. I see this as a very appropriate text for adults that are considering a return to school. The language is simple. The style is straight forward. It speaks with appropriate examples to illustrate points. It says the kind of things that I have been saying to "under-educated" adults, with whom I come in contact as a career counselor, for a long time. My thanks to the author for bringing this together in a basic and very usable package.

Blended Learning: How To Integrate Online And Traditional Learning by Kaye Throne (organizational development specialists and the Founder of "The Inspiration Network") is a timely and authoritative guide to the latest trend in workplace training in the wake of the on-going digital revolution. Diverse ways to incorporate online learning with assimilation through more traditional teaching techniques make for a handy and well-rounded guide which is particular recommended for anyone responsible for corporate sponsored and/or governmentally authorized organizing training programs.

"Metcalfe's book is an excellent reference for those students having difficulty getting their research started...By orientating the researcher's mind to what tehy really want to say and how they are going to say it, Metcalfe provides them with the confidence to venture into such areas. In terms of recommending a research methods text to new researchers, Business Research Through Argumetn by Mike Metcalfe represents a very safe choice."

Essential for business students, graduate and undergraduates alike. Helps you write professional reports and term papers. Many graduate schools require it.

The book is very useful. It shows you the beginning of all business subjects. It's a great fundamental business book

I had to write a resume for a business communication class at UTSA, but since I was interviewing for a job I read ahead and without instruction made a kick-butt resume that helped me land a great job.

It also has good tips for all aspects of building a career and the steps to take along the way whether you're a collge student, a homemaker re-entering the job force, or changing careers after a tenured position.

Thanks Ms. Johnston for the help.

It's about time! Someone has finally written a career development textbook that is enjoyable to read. I loved this book and recommend it to anyone interested in learning about career development interventions.

The world of work has changed dramatically in recent years. This book takes this as its starting point and offers practical advice to all wanting to take charge of their careers and make them a success. A catalyst to action - lessons that are ignored at your peril

I wish I'd had a book like this when I graduated high school and wasn't quite ready for college. Fortunately, this book is available to my kids--it gives confidence, courage, clarity, and loads of information. And, it promotes flexible thinking, allowing them to see graduation and beyond as the next step to adulthood. This author really cares about kids.

Trainer, teacher,employer - we all want to make best use of our resources! This small, compact book is stuffed with information and a CD loaded with music to help you and your group be creative, energetic, reflective... to work happily and to produce more.

Sure we've heard the teens say they study better with their walkman, and if you've been in Long's Drugs or the Body Shop recently maybe you've noticed that it's *not* muzak, but "music." Brant and Harvey explain clearly how music affects our bodies and brains to bring us to a state of concentration that will promote creativity, energy, reflection. We have examples from history and from current research which back up the intuitive feelings that most people have about how music can help or hinder them in their daily tasks. So this book is a great resource for any trainer, especially with the CD - instead of carrying around 20 difference disks, I now have it all on one disk - 75 minutes of well-chosen music that takes my group from 'welcoming', through 'creativity - energizing -reflecting ' to 'departing.' They loved it! We had a very successful session, but the questions raised about the music made the participants not only appreciate my efforts as a trainer, but also it made them think about the music choices *they* could make when working on their own - which of course, is always the long term goal of the trainer.

If you are an NLP practitioner, then you will be familiar with the use of music for accelerated learning, but Choosing and Using Music in Training is a useful resource, and certainly should be a textbook for any 'train the trainer' workshops. The authors also cover how to use music, the importance of silence!, choosing equipment, licenses, and a useful FAQ section.
As a memeber of ASTD, I would say this is all you need to get you on the right track!
