5 out of 5 stars Great book for concept reference.......2001-06-28

This is an outstanding, easy to read, reference guide for the beginning or experienced tax professional. One thing I particularly like about it is that it addresses compliance and procedural considerations for every main topic -- something that's hard to find in any other comprehensive volume. I highly recommend this book as a desk reference.

5 out of 5 stars A must have for any training professional.......2007-01-11

I am not a trainer, but a curriculum designer. I attended Bob Pike's Boot Camp (another MUST) and was given this book at the seminar. The Boot Camp is amazing and anyone involved in training (adult or child education) needs to attend.

This book is amazing. Bob Pike is clear and effective. The book isn't filled with a ton of "fluff." Each and every page offers value. Every page gives you ideas of things you can (and should) start doing immediately.

I enjoyed it so much, I ordered one for every single employee in our department and now we are doing a sort of "book club" where we all read a chapter and discuss.

If you don't buy any other book on training - buy this one. You will learn more about how adults learn, how to evaluate training (and non-training needs), how to present your evalation and solutions, how to set up an effective classroom, etc.

BUY IT! You won't regret it!

5 out of 5 stars Lots of Content Here.......2004-12-08

Pike packs in the content here. Thorough and updated, this book should be a part of any trainer's library.

4 out of 5 stars Turn nervousness into confidence.......2004-04-14

I am an independent corporate trainer and saw this book praised in a variety of places. I bought it and read it from cover to cover. While I was reading it, I kept saying to myself, "Isn't this stuff kind of simple?" When I finished reading it, I felt like I had not learned enough to justify the high price. These first impressions were not lasting impressions. Here is how I can tell: Whenever I feel nervous about a new training assignment, I open this book and quickly find solutions that turn my nervousness into confidence. I grew to understand that the simplicity I observed during my first reading is actually the result of skillful winnowing by an expert.

Because of its price, I rated this book 4 stars instead of 5 stars. I understand the marketing justification for the price. Some stuff in the book is provided for HR professionals who train trainers. These people are usually buying the book with someone else's money. The publisher knows that and banks on it. But, given how much I continually get from this book, I figure at least the author has earned the extra money.

5 out of 5 stars The best book I've read on the subject.......2002-11-11

I've had a bit of a hard time finding books on training the trainer to train and I feel that this is THE book that does it best. I work for a new company and ended up doing most of the training of new employees. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and this book helped me to be more effective at it. I love the 'instructor led, participant centered' idea that he presents. It allows me to treat the trainees as adults but we still have fun. Being new to training I didn't feel that he was talking over my head. It was to the point, useful information that I was immediatly able to put to good use.

2 out of 5 stars a couple of good ideas but practically limited.......2002-08-14

i bought this book as it was a a suggested read by a big american design software corpoartion for whom i was an authorised trainer.
having picked up most of my training techniques from teaching or other teachers, or indeed practically picked up, i was intrigues to refine my techniques or expand them.
But, i found very little here of use to me, i think this is much more useful to people eho train in the vaguer sense of the word, as i was running professional training courses, i actually found a lot of the material given i disagreed with in practice, to be honest you just could not run a prodessional graphic design course like this.
maybe the ideas of teaching in England are a bit more quirky and persoanlity based, but these ideas are either common sense or patronising of the audience.
maybe if you are in some kind of business arena and completeley new to the whole field theres something for you.
I got nothing out of it really, and ive been a professional trainer for ten years.

5 out of 5 stars Educational Trainer .......2006-11-10

This book is IDEAL for anyone who is going to train or teach anything. How to cut the fluff and deliver the required facts.

5 out of 5 stars A refreshing approach to learning and training--I highly recommend it..........2006-11-03

I am not a professional trainer by trade. However, I was recently appointed training coordinator for my department. The Accelerated Learning Handbook has definitely helped me approach my job with a fresh perspective. The information, ideas, and techniques presented have enabled me to more effectively train those in my department as well as those in other functions. Before reading the AL Handbook, I thought all that was needed to effectively teach someone was simply to make sure all of my PowerPoint slides were logically put together. I now have a broader view of how people learn and a sold framework to use when putting together training materials on any topic. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to engage the audience and create meaningful, effective training presentations.

5 out of 5 stars Practical ideas for facilitators.......2006-02-21

I have worked with adult learners for more than fifteen years and have always tried to incorporate whole-brained, participative learning. This book provided some excellent theoretical background as well as a lot of new instantly usable ideas. I wasn't even all the way through before I applied a couple of the techniques and got an excellent response from my client.

5 out of 5 stars excellent training tool.......2003-07-06

I was getting ready to prepare a training program for 44 persons when I read this book. Immediately! after I used the guidelines to prepare my session. Preparation was fast and easy -and fun! I really couldn't believe that it was that easy to apply and it has been one of my best sessions to date. I refer to it when I need a refresher or a new perspective. I definately reccomend this book for trainers who need to keep their material fresh and interesting (esp. in-house trainers).

4 out of 5 stars Accelerated Learning Handbook.......2002-01-02

Finally, teachers and administrators have a useful tool to recharge their classrooms/schools. We have become so test oriented that many times we forget that the process of learning comes from the doing. The statement comes to mind that we utter with new approaches," When do I have the time to get it all in?". That is where the problem lies! We are so pressured with these new demands that we loose sight of what is important, the process. This book will give us a clearer picture of how we can recharge our teaching and can provide the key so we can use the ideas to change the way we teach or approach the students' learning who are in our care.

                  I thought this book would be just my cup of tea, as I am an aficionado of medical curiosities, but this is the dullest book, of this type, that I have ever read. I regret buying this book

                  4 out of 5 stars Hmm... Rather strange..........2000-11-26

                  Well, Mr. Youngston obviously spent a lengthy amount of time researching this book. It's evident from page one, when he sheds light on a little known and often misunderstood topic; that being the medical history. In this book he clearly shows that much of what we think in terms of medical advancement is lacking.

                  From the onset, and all the way through, this is an exercise in material that will make your jaw drop in surprise. The strange things the human race has done in the name of science is quite astounding in this context- or in any context for that matter.

                  If you thought modern doctors were full of it, just wait until you see this! I'm actually considering calling my doctor and thanking him for not being like this- though I suppose that statement is overdoing it a bit, but I remind you- it's just a LITTLE bit.

                  Entertaining, sometimes shocking, occasionally funny- this is quite a book!

                    Book Description

                    Over twenty years since the appearance of volume 1 of this prestigious series, the rare earths continue to perplex, if not mystify us. There is no doubt that in the next breakthrough to a higher level of human understanding of nature, the rare earth elements and their compounds will play an important part in its elaboration. The reviews contained in this 26th volume continue this quest.

                    Three of the chapters deal with various aspects of the magnetic behaviours of the lanthanide metals and some of their compounds, while the fourth is concerned with the photoelectron spectroscopy of the anomalous f (heavy fermion) systems in cerium and uranium compounds.

                    The first chapter presents information and results gleaned from X-ray scattering studies on the magnetic lanthanide metals, intra lanthanide alloys, a few intermetallic compounds, intra lanthanide superlayers and thin films.

                    Chapter two is concerned with the use of static pressure and alternating mechanical stresses and their effects to study the magnetic properties of the lanthanide metals, alloys and compounds.

                    This is followed by an examination of magnetic systems which are close to the critical conditions for the appearance of magnetic ordering. The authors note that itinerant electron metamagnetism was predicted over 35 years ago, but that the major advances were only discovered over the past decade.

                    One of the prime research tools for understanding 4f and 5f systems is photoelectron spectroscopy and early work is this field was plagued by the lack of single crystals, the poor quality of polycrystalline samples and inadequate theories to interpret photoelectron spectra. This has however changed, and new developments are reviewed in the last chapter.
