CHOICE Review

Editors Rowley (City University London) and Jackson (Univ. of London) have assembled a valuable collection of original essays covering 50 of the most fundamental concepts in human resource management. The contributors are uniquely qualified; e.g., Charles Fay, author of the section titled "Compensation Strategies," served on the Federal Salary Commission, chaired the American Compensation Association, and wrote several influential books on compensation. The excellence of the contributors permits the editors to fulfill multiple objectives: the book is succinct yet comprehensive, and written in a rich, engaging style that avoids jargon and overly technical treatments. Each of the 50 concepts is clearly defined and explained, with only a few charts and graphs to illustrate key points and relationships. A particularly helpful feature is the cross-referencing of related topics at the end of each section, along with suggestions for further reading. This book offers a useful counterpoint to traditional introductory texts such as Robert Mathis and John Jackson's edited Human Resource Management (12th ed., 2008). Summing Up: Highly recommended. Primarily lower- and upper-level undergraduates, but useful for all graduate students, researchers/faculty, and researchers interested in human resources. J. C. Gottfried Western Kentucky University
