sold book that was a review copy
Seller sold a copy of this book online when it clearly states on the inside pages, as well as back of book that it is a review copy and that it is NOT to be resold!! The seller sold this book and never once advertised that it was a review copy and charged me the same price as the original sold at my university's bookstore of around $96.00. Don't buy this book if you plan on reselling!

GOOD SERVICE
I received this book earlier than expected, I needed it for school and I didn't have to worry about not having it on time

Information is Lacking - Way Over Priced!
First of all, there is no justification for the price of this book. This is a $15 paperback at best. Unfortunately, the professors at any given educational facility seem to endorse this kind of rip-off. Aside from giving a basic overview of the laws with regard to Human Resource Management, this book lacks any meaningful or valueable information. Much of the information presented is obvious and poorly supported. To get a basic understanding of HR Management, as this book presents, I would recommend finding a much cheaper alternative.

Excellent Customer Service
I had a hard time getting a hold of the customer service reps at first, but once they finally got back in tough with me they were helpful and went out of their way to make sure my situation was resolved.

Satisfied
Good quality used book. Was exactly what it said it was going to be. Excellent condition; shipped quickly. Pretty expensive, though.

just a textbook for class
has a lot of details for a person trying to begin learning about human resources.

Extremely Quick Shipping
Purchased this product expecting it to arrive in a week or two.But was extremely satisfied when it arrived just four days after purchase.Excellent seller.

Expidited shipping ???
I figured when I selected expidited shipping it wouldn't take 14 days to get to me. I paid extra for the service. Maybe amazon should detail out how long there shipping takes. And not jest leave it at standard quick and expidited.

great
This buyer has made my experience of purchasing online very pleasurable. The ability to rely on service that is professional and efficient makes ordering this product hassle free. Its like using a microwave. Click it on and don't worry about it until what's inside is finished. That is exactly what happened when I ordered this product.

On time, great book and price
The book was on time.Because it is an older edition it was a little worn.However, I cannot complain because of the cheap price.

Human Resource Management, 12th Ed.
This book was in new condition - not missing any parts or pages, and fits my need for the class I am taking. As far as the text, I have not gotten far enough into the book to make any assessment, but so far it seems fairly easy to read, flows well, and relates to the instructor's course work. I am pleased with this purchase.

Great service!
The book arrived quickly and was in great condition. Thanks for the speedy delivery, and the quality product.

Disappointed
The product was in great condition and the price was phenomenal however it was not the addition I put in my search and the description never indicated that it as the 3rd edtion of series that is now in its 12 edition.Of course I was seeking the 12the edition. Needless to say I was very dissapointed.

Great book teaching the basics and more of HR
This book is amazing. It makes learning the basic of human resources so easy and interesting. Before I read this book, I was unaware of how many aspects of HR there was. It really helps anyone learn the basics. The text brings up real-world examples and scenarios that really make it fun to read.

If you are an instructor, please do your students a favor and choose this book. The price is really high for such a small book but it really is worth it due to how well it explains the material. Oh yeah, I have no affiliation with the publisher and am basing this review on the twelfth edition. ... Read more

great book.
Great book. I have 10 years experience in HR but i've always thought its a good idea to refresh the basics. Its easy for a HR professional to get caught up in a company's culture and do things the way the company has always done them regardless of how wrong they are...but i think its necessary for me to come back to the basics every once in a while.

The book is nice, but the CD doesn't work fine.

Fundamentals of Human Resource Management
Considering what I paid for this book it was acceptable.The book itself was in rough shape some pages were stuck together and then the binding came off and pages fell out.I'm not sure I would buy again from this seller.

Exactly what I needed
The book arrived quickly and in excellent condition. It was available for more than half the price that it was being offered by my school! I could not have found a better deal.

Book provides a solid overview of the elements making up an HR function and the reasoning behind the elements.Good book.

Good reference but doesnt suffice
As an HR Professional this book was a little disheartening. I used this book as a reference in studying for my PHR exam. It really didnt provide the relevent information I needed concerning the laws and idnt touch much on best practices in my opinion.

Excellent Reference Guide
I purchased this book from Amazon as an additional reference and study guide, as I am going to be taking the PHR exam this winter.While it's not the ideal study guide for the PHR, I was very impressed with the book.It packs a lot of content and real-world examples into one slim volume. It gives you checklists you can quickly put to use and I have already made use of the behavior-based interview question examples in chapter 2 on recruiting. I also plan to use the vendor selection criteria used in chapter 11 on technology, since we are in the market for a new applicant tracking system.The book consists of chapters written by various HR subject matter experts, who are currently practicing in the field.They understand what it is to be an HR practitioner in a constantly changing and challenging field.I am keeping this book on my shelf at work for future reference.My biggest pet peeve with the book was the high number of typos it contained.A better job of proofreading for the misspellings and typos would have benefited the book greatly.

Awesome Book!
Great Book! I recommend this book to anyone who's in need of any help of some great advise to future HR professionals!

Essential, Elegant and Easy to Access
If you are a new or seasoned manager(supervisor, etc.) this could be a required handbook for you. Unlike trucks which beep as they back up, warning you that there coming your way and a crash may be imminent, most human resource issues come out of the blue. In addition, to further complicate things many times there may be a time crunch creating a sense of urgency and a need for an answer now. In situations like this, The Essential HR Handbookis incredibly useful as the information is concise, relevant and easy to access. Finally, for those times when your human resource classes seem almost like a figment of your imagination, this book can provide the information to make your day flow without any "beeping" along the way.

RECEIVED WRONG BOOK
My order shows the exact book I need for class and the correct edition however the book I received today is not even remotely close to the book I need and I cannot find how to contact seller or amazon in order to get the book I ordered!! I am very disappointed.There is also a receipt/invoice w/ my book I received today and it shows yet a different title of book than the one sent or the one ordered. What is going on Amazon.Please contact me to fix this problem before my class starts and to give me a refund!!! this book was expensive!

great buy
I saved around $100 on the purchase of this book. It was mailed quickly. Thank you for this service.

Does the job!
The book is an easy to read type of book, with case studies in every chapter, and seems up to date. My graduate class in general seem to like the book also. My teacher who does HR consulting for a living likes the book. The book is down to earth, and applicable. The only thing negative was how long I had to wait to get my book since it was in back order. Also, no indication on how long I would have to wait to get my book was sent to me. But once it was out on its way, it was easy to track where my book was. Still no regrets ordering through Amazon. 60% cheaper than my college bookstore.

Great customer service and Great Product
I order a book for school and the book was in excellent condition.On top of the the seller was extremely helpful with answering my emails and accommodating my need for the book with the start of my class.It was great all around from the seller.Defiantly buy from them.

Disappointed
Six months after the first review regarding wrong edition was posted in February 2010 we ordered the book assuming that Amazon had corrected this issue.

Sad to say, the book pictured on the order page is not consistent with the book shipped (International Edition: Not for use inside the US).

To make matters worse, my last two orders (placed over 2 weeks ago) no longer appear in the history and the Order ID Search did not recognize the ID.

At least the phone interaction was satisfactory with the customer service rep.

If you had updated the web page with the correct information or shipped the book as advertised we would not have had to had called.

At this point we are forced to go with another option.

I received the book promptly.It was highlighted a lot but that is okay

Poor text for HR
This was the text for my HR class in 2003. I am pursing my Masters.I found the text to have good examples of HR practices however, to be unorganized in fashion. It was not an easy text to follow as it jumps around a lot. It also introduces many ideas and then tells the reader that it will address the idea in a later chapter. This was very distracting. The practice test from the website are very helpful.

Product came quickly, no problems!
Text came before the due date, always a good sign.What can you say about a text book?It only works if you read it.

Easy Read
I bought this used but it showed up in brand new condition, which may say something for the book. It's extremely easy to read and offers good information about HR but is fairly elementary. It reads like a high school text book; that can be a good or a bad thing depending on the student.

An Instructor's Viewpoint
Human Resources Management for Public and Nonprofit Organizations: A Strategic Approach (Jossey Bass Nonprofit & Public Management Series)

This book has the essentials, but for the price is not worth the money for my students.There are absolutely no instructor or student supplemental materials with this book other than a file that's called an instructors manual that is a digital copy of Joan Pynes' syllabus. This textbook was the wrong choice to engage undergraduate students.

Too dense to hold students' interest

This text is incredibly thorough in its review of the public restrictions on human resource management but much less thorough in the needs of nonprofits.While the chapters cover all the essential elements of an introductory graduate class in human resources, it did not hold the interests of my students when I used it.There were too few examples and those that were included were designed more as exemplars of how human resource concepts used and not problem-focused in such a way that would engage the students in discussion and problem-solving.There were too few illustrations of important concepts and it would have helped to have more links to current issues and nonprofits that those in their twenties like.On the up side, the text is well written and provides substantial details about how to implement protocols and policies.I would much rather not write a review of a book that doesn't work for me but I think that the existing reviews here gloss over some of these issues.

Good book
I like the book because it is simple in its explaination and illustrations, written in simple english where everyone that reads it will comprehend which is the most thing i love in the book.

Great for Expat Issues and Intro to Global HRM
I got this book for my "Intro to Global HR" course, undergrad and it gives a good look at how a company grows from one country to multiple countries to global, as well as an excellent step by step look at expat relationships and the choices that a firm must make. It is complex, but comprehensive.

Boring
Without previewing this book, I ordered it as the primary textbook for a graduate level course I was teaching in International HR Management. The table of contents looked comprehensive and since it was written by a couple of Australians, I thought it had to be good. Not so.

I was very disappointed with this product.First of all it did not have the hardcover that was shown when placing my order.It came in a solid baby blue cover instead of the rock patterned cover shown in this review.The book binding is really bad. You can see the strings that are running through the book pages and it is not held to the book cover except on the flat sides. I have to really push down to see the full page when I have the book open and am trying to read. The text is the same as my other classmates, but the cover and binding are not good. ... Read more

upset customer
I ordered my book and I paid for my book, but I never recieved my merchandise. I had to purchase my book from the campus book store for the original price $136.00 when I already paid Wiggles book on line $72.00. I would like a refund. I ordered this book 1/24/2009 and it is now 3/4/2009. I do not recommend ordering from them.

Great Textbook
I really like this text book. I love the evidence-based approach. It is helpful and interesting to see how real organizations are responding to current issues and applying the concepts outlined in the text in their organizations.

Best freakin' book ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazon is asking for a review of what is obviously a textbook about 3 weeks after I received it.The class hasn't yet begun, so I can't give an accurate review. However, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

More than Pirsig, Hesse, Maugham, Vonnegut, Salinger, Kerouac, or even the Bible, THIS book has changed my life & made me the man I am today!!! The way the subtle nuances of HR Management are described here will forever alter the way I navigate through life!It's a real page-turner!I couldn't put it down!

Seriously, the book looks fine, Archive Books in Edmond, OK got the book to me very quickly & in excellent shape, & Amazon is more of a pain in the neck than a drunken one-night stand that won't quit calling(but they're cheaper than the campus bookstore). ... Read more
