Book Description
The increasing dominance of distance learning and Web-based training means employees no longer have to schedule a class weeks in advance to learn something they need to know immediately. And with so much learning taking place outside of the classroom, it's more important than ever for trainers to focus in on individual employees.
Based on groundbreaking original research, The Workplace Learner gives trainers the insights and tools they need to implement real-time individual learning. Renowned training expert William J. Rothwell explains the competencies of effective workplace learners, and how the trainer can:
* Identify the drivers and barriers to effective learning * Develop the ability of individual employees to learn * Target training programs to the individual trainee's level of learning competence
Featuring checklists, worksheets, assessment instruments, and other practical tools, The Workplace Learner helps trainers make their innovative programs all the more successful.

This is like a whack on the side of the head.......2003-01-06
No matter what your role in training and developing the workforce, "The Workplace Learner" is as essential to your toolkit as a measuring tape is to the carpenter. If you're like me, we've spent so much time developing and measuring all other aspects of our training and development, that we've neglected the recipient of our labors-the LEARNER. To me, this volume was like a whack on the side of the head.
What I especially like about "The Workplace Learner" is the logical, easy-to-follow layout of the contents. First, Rothwell's introductory discussion of training, learning, and performance in the workplace plus the discussion of the free agent learner and learning theory all provide a thorough grounding in the "as is" and the "to be's" of our profession.
Step-by step, Rothwell sets the stage for easy understanding and the building of individual learning competence by defining roles, competencies, and outputs of the workplace learner and then explains how to apply them. Next, the focus is on the all-important organizational climate and why it must be "workplace learning-friendly." Rothwell and several contributors do a magnificent job in explaining what the organization must do in order to make workplace learning a certified success. The last segment is a most essential "how-to" transform a training department into a LEARNING department.
In addition to the Rothwellian style of "demystifying" all the terms and concepts, what really brings value to this book are the more than 50 exhibits that turn this text into an actual workbook...with tons of worksheets, too. As a recognized "workplace learning and performance" guru and author, this text is Rothwell at his finest in converting the seemingly complex into an easy-to-read living blueprint for building your working knowledge of the workplace learner...complete with all the tools to apply it in your organization.
Book Description
The author describes the ways in which workplace literacy programs can use a creative learner-centered approach to facilitate language learning through problem posing and critical thinking. By using learners' own experiences as the basis for the curriculum in a critical approach to literacy, educators can provide a common ground for adults of differing language backgrounds and learning styles to better use their literacy skills in a workplace culture. Additionally, the book details the ways in which educators can help workers learn to negotiate the environment of their workplace and to use their communicative skills outside of work.
Book Description
Designed as an overview of the range of adult special learning needs, this book discusses the related tools and strategies that can help these adults to learn. It identifies resources to help the practitioner understand and deal effectively with these needs. This text is intended for teachers, trainers, HRD specialists, program developers, and administrators -- all who may encounter a number of special needs in the course of providing education, training, and related support services in various postsecondary settings. It pulls together disparate sources of information into one compact guide, examines a very complex area, and offers a synthesis of key information and resources.

Great Resource.......2004-08-24
I am a training consultant and have a whole bookshelf of books like this. I find i come back to this one and "quick Teambuilding Activities for busy managers" over and over again. This one has GREAT activities that are so effective and relatively easy to use. All have a specific learning objective. Descriptions are easy to follow. But most importantly, the activities are truly wonderful. Puzzel, especially...if I had to give the author royalties everytime i used that activity, he'd be rich!
Great book for motivating LOW WAGE EARNERS!!.......2003-06-02
I have placed this book on the desks of all my managers and instructed them to follow it to the letter.
It has been instrumental in motivating under compensated employees into thinking they have a chance of achieving the American Dream. The "team" concept is brilliant!
This book is great for the high technology company trying to compete with low wage Asian labor.
The "team" concept of Rose & Buckley with show you how to motivate "team members" while paying them subsistence wages.
OUTSTANDING!
This book is EXCEPTIONAL. Perfect for the corporate offsite.......1999-10-15
This book is outstanding. I have now facilitated several offsites company-wide and gained my popularity in doing so from Ed Rose's book! Sincerely, honestly. The interactive exercises he shares with you as a reader are excellent. I have received nothing but commendable feedback after each of my offsites when using his ideas. I highly recommend this book to those of you who facilitate annual offsites for your work teams. There is something in this book for every group and all team dynamics. This book will show you how to have a great time (lots of laughs and smiles and bonding) while really engraving a strong, memorable message in each and every persons head! My copy is lent out to people company-wide all the time. Trust me, this book is a keeper! Thank you Ed for writing such a valueable resource for us team-leaders!!! I truly appreciate your quality book.
"50 Ways..." is a must for team trainers.......1999-03-20

More about cocks please........2006-05-17
This is a great book, growing up on a poultry farm I can agree with the author - it's not easy!
Hens can be difficult, getting the feltch balance is so hard, just how much do you give them? And should it be straw fed?
Managing cocks is just plain difficult! Cocls tend to get trapped in small places and rarely do what you want. If I had 10c for every time I have trapped a cock in the door I wouldn't need pocket money!!
Overall though a good book.
Everything a beginner needs............2005-10-04
This book was a great reference tool for starting my 'chicken raising experience'.
Raising Poultry Successfully by Will Graves.......2001-10-05
My four Rhode Island Reds are my first ever to care for and this book helped me to quickly know what to do without having to take a college course. It is helpful in building of and requirements of a coop, requirements for the growing chick into adulthood (food, lighting, temperature, water, protection and cleanliness.)I highly recommend this book and also bought one for a christmas present for an owner of a small flock.Plus there is much more information like, illness& diseases, butchering, ducks, turkeys, and incubation.
Best book for the beginner on the market........2001-08-21
I own a small hatchery and poultry farm. We sell hundreds of baby chicks every month. When someone with little or no poultry experience asks for some good reference material for their new chicks, I point them to this book. Will Graves covers every aspect of raising poultry in great detail, but does not bore his reader. This book is also a great reference item for the current poultry owner. If I have a question, I turn to Mr. Graves first. I highly recommend this book.
Excellent Beginners Poultry Handbook.......2001-03-01
I think this book is great for starting out. It shows everything you need to know. Check it out!

Book Description
This book has grown out of lectures held at a summer school on cosmology, in response to an ever increasing need for an advanced textbook that addresses the needs of both postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers from various disciplines ranging from mathematical physics to observational astrophysics. Bridging the gap between standard textbook material in cosmology and the forefront of research, this book also constitutes a modern source of reference for the experienced researcher in classical and quantum cosmology.
