Train-the-Trainer Workshop, 3rd Edition is thoroughly revised and updated, making it the most complete and valuable book of its kind available today. This powerful workshop will help you bring your managers, team leaders and other non-trainers quickly up-to-speed in the basic skills required to develop and conduct training -confidently, competently and with ease.

Loaded with practical tips, helpful precautions, checklists and tools, the revised edition includes:

• A completely new chapter on an essential skill in developing training—outlining the training content for a learning objective.
• 30 additional overhead transparency masters
• Updated case studies

As important as training is these days, many organizations can't afford the luxury of having experienced trainers on staff. Or, if they do, their trainers can't keep up with the increasing demands as jobs change and re-training becomes necessary.

As a result, those who've never had the opportunity to develop professional training skills are occasionally being required to develop and conduct training sessions.

That's why Train-the-Trainer, 3rd Edition is so valuable. The comprehensive how-to manual walks first-time trainers through every step of the process of developing and delivering effective training—from using adult learning principles all the way through evaluating the results of training.

The workshop also addresses how to handle problem personalities and situations that can unnerve even the most experienced trainer, including participants who won't talk—and those who won't stop. Using a learn-by-doing approach, Train-the-Trainer, 3rd Edition is full of opportunities for every participant to interact, practice delivery skills, try out new skills, build their confidence in a safe environment, and become effective trainers—overnight.

Even veteran trainers will learn something new and hone and update their skills. Participants will learn how to:

• Identify new ways training can be used in their jobs
• Clearly understand how adults learn so they can teach others
• Analyze training requirements—the first step in successful training
• Develop learning objectives that provide the direction for the rest of their training
• Select the most appropriate training methods
• Develop and use training aids the right way
• Create lesson plans
• Use basic facilitation skills
• Increase participation
• Conduct training using their lesson plans
• Evaluate training
• Transfer newly acquired training skills to the work setting

Filled with insights it would take your managers years to gain on their own, Train-the-Trainer, 3rd Edition makes it easy for even beginning trainers to do the job experienced trainers once did: Deliver powerful training that is skill-packed, memorable and achieves lasting and positive behavior change.

In addition to depleting nutrients necessary for healthy crops, soil erosion processes can affect the carbon balance of agroecosystems, and thus influence global warming.. While the magnitude and severity of soil erosion are well documented, fluxes of eroded carbon are rarely quantified. The most complete, nonpartisan source of information available today on this topic, Soil Erosion and Carbon Dynamics brings together a diverse group of papers and data from the perspectives of world-renowned sedimentologists, soil scientists, and agronomists to resolve whether soil erosion on carbon is a beneficial or destructive process. This book collects quantitative data on eroded carbon fluxes from the scale of the agricultural plot to that of large basins and oceans. It quantifies the magnitude of eroded carbon for different soil management practices as compared to normal carbon sequestration and discusses the fate of the eroded carbon and whether or not it is a source or sink for atmospheric CO2. Finally, the book offers data reflecting the impact of soil erosion on soil, water, and air quality. Other important topics include solubilization, the determination of mineralization rates, carbon transfer, and sediment deposition, as well as carbon dioxide emissions, global warming potential, and the implications of soil erosion on the global carbon cycle and carbon budget. Based on the first symposium of the international colloquium Land Uses, Erosion and Carbon Sequestration held in Montpellier, France, Soil Erosion and Carbon Dynamics provides data that links soil erosion to the global carbon cycle and elucidates the fate of eroded carbon at scales ranging from plot to watershed.

Discusses the latest information regarding the processes and mechanisms responsible for runoff and erosion by water in arable lands--detailing state-of-the-art water and soil conservation methods. Elucidates the rehabilitation of agricultural lands depleted by human activity.

Once the grain basket for South Africa, much of Lesotho has become a scarred and treeless wasteland. The nation's spectacular gullying has concerned environmentalists and conservationists for more than half a century, In Imperial Gullies: Soil Erosion and Conservation in Lesotho, Kate B. Showers documents the truth behind this devastation. Showers reconstructs the history of the landscape, beginning with a history of the soil. She concludes that Lesotho's distinctive erosion chasms, called dongas, often cited as an example of destructive land-use practices by African farmers, actually were caused by colonial and postcolonial practices. The residents of Lesotho emerge as victims of a failed technology. Their efforts to mitigate or resist implementation of destructive soil conservation engineering works were thwarted, and they were blamed for the consequences of policies promoted by international soil conservationists since the 1930s. Imperial Gullies calls for an observational, experimental and, most importantly, a fully consultative and participatory approach to address Lesotho's serious contemporary problems of soil erosion. The first book to bring to center stage the historical practice of colonial soil science and a cautionary tale of western science in unfamiliar terrain it will interest a broad, interdisciplinary audience in African and environmental studies, social sciences, and history. "Showers shows how local people understood that colonial contour conservation methods and road building actually stimulated gully erosion, something colonial scientists failed to realize. Overall it is undoubtedly one of the most important books written to date on any part of the environmental history of Africa. Moreover it stands out in the discipline of environmental history in general as an unusually sophisticated work of great insight and explanatory power."---Richard H. Grove, author of Green Imperialism: Colonial Expansion, Tropical Island Edens and the Origins of Environmentalism, 1600-1860 Kate B. Showers is a visiting research fellow and senior research associate at the Centre for World Environmental History, University of Sussex, England. She has lived in rural Lesotho and has served as head of research, Institute of Southern African Studies, National University of Lesotho.
