"""Personally, I love it when I fi nd an up-to-date research book on a subject I am really interested in. Cost aside, I feel that sometimes I get so much more from one of these collections than I ever do from a dedicated book by a single author... [The book] contains a valuable trove of information and ideas backed up by data and references."" - inTuition Magazine (Society for Education and Training)"
