Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

This book breaks new ground in human resource management through focusing on specific themes written by a range of European experts drawing on a common survey. As such it is a major progression from previous texts that lack a coherent, cross-national database. Representing a truly collaborative European project, it includes themes such as flexibility, training and development, industrial relations, regional aspects and the problems of organising and undertaking comparative human resource management research.

Industrial Relations in Sub-Saharan Africa provides an overview on the state and nature of industrial relations in tropical and southern Africa, encompassing theoretical and comparative perspectives and country studies.

Human resource management is increasingly recognized as having an important "European" face. Breaking new ground by focusing on new developments through specific themes, this text represents a truly European approach written by a range of European experts drawing on a common European survey.

This book identifies and discusses the key features of human resource management at the turn of the century from a northern European perspective (particularly referring to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland and the UK). The authors' approach reflects the fact that these countries have become increasingly critical of the universalist model of SHRM common in the USA.

The early chapters of the book address differences in concepts and practices in HRM in the region; these are followed by chapters that explore topics seen as particularly relevant in northern Europe. The conclusion looks at the usefulness and future of the notion of HRM as a result of these discussions. Based on the authors' own research and studies in Denmark and the UK, the book also draws particularly on empirical data from surveys by the Cranfield Network for the Study of Human Resource Management in Europe and on contributions from researchers in Sweden, Ireland, and Austria.

Researchers and students will find here a useful summary of the challenge posed by northern Europe to universalist concepts of HRM.

On the road to find out is a thought provoking memory emoting read for a generation that lived it and for those younger and wise enough to want to discover what it was like to live in the moment. It is rooted in the time period of 1967 to 1974 and unfolds mainly in the seaside resort town of Wildwood New Jersey. It's a story of heartbreak and discovery. It's a wild ride through America as seen through the eyes of this young Canadian as he digs deep inside his self in the hopes of recapturing the one thing he lost and means everything to him, true love. The people and situations in it are real and unfolded as I and others remembered them. Though it reads like fiction the story is true in every sense. It is a photographic memory of a special time and place that screamed to be documented.
