The history of human resource development embraces humankind's
investment in one another's skills, knowledge, and abilities. As
the field transitions into a more mature discipline, there is a
need to understand the philosophies upon which certain theories and
methodologies are based. Providing a historical narrative of HRD
from the beginning of human history through modern times, this book
reveals the consistent interaction between the philosophies of the
time, theories, and methods of people management and how these
philosophies impact what is known as HRD today. Drs. Gosney and
Hughes offer a robust examination of HRD and provide a methodology
for critical thinking to better understand the theories and
assumptions of the field. They provide a model whereby scholars and
practitioners can better understand and evaluate modern HRD through
the context of HRD history.
Latest research on the chivalric ethos of western Europe 10c-15c.
from the practical [houses, armour], to the intellectual [concept
of holy war, loyalty, etc.] These eight papers from the Strawberry
Hill Conference cover a wide area, but common themes emerge. One
group of essays deals with the embellishments of lordship, both
architectural and heraldic, studying residences and also
developments in armour. A second group concerns ideals which
motivated the aristocracy of western Europe, from the late 10th to
the 15th centuries: romances, the Peace movement of Aquitaine, holy
war, and loyalty. Concentration on rationalism and free will in the
writings of the cultural circle which revolved around Sir John
Fastolf is identified as an important element in the development of
the English Renaissance. Professor CHRISTOPHER HARPER-BILLteaches
in the Department of History, University of East Anglia; Dr RUTH
HARVEY is lecturer in French, Royal Holloway and Bedford New
College. Contributors: ADRIAN AILES, JEFFREY ASHCROFT, CHARLES

Human resource professionals are an essential part of an
organization; by helping to establish a rapport between employees
and their managers and providing individual support, they ensure
the overall well-being and success of an establishment. However, in
certain sectors, such as academia or industrial settings, their
role still remains unclear. Bridging the Scholar-Practitioner Gap
in Human Resources Development examines the knowledge breach in the
role of human resources professionals and the pivotal role they
play in an organization. Featuring timely research, future
implications, and practical applications of theoretical
assumptions, this publication is a pivotal source for
professionals, practitioners, academics, and researchers interested
in the impact human resources specialists have in organizational
settings.
