James S. Pepitone, a pioneer in the transformation of workplace training, wants companies to get their money's worth from this vital yet often ill-used activity. To that end, he developed "Humaneering," a training concept focused on helping workers attain top performance and productivity. Pepitone based his approach on synthesizing "more than 100 scientific laws, theories and models concerning human behavior, technology transfer, organizational learning, performance improvement, organizational productivity and managed change." Clearly, making this mix work is a bold, ambitious undertaking. Pepitone repeatedly warns that his book is difficult to read. This is not necessary. He is a strong writer and extremely knowledgeable, though perhaps too negative about current training. He presents a logical case for restructuring corporate training. Although he leaves programming specifics up to individual companies, he does provide clear, sensible reasons and goals for change. getAbstract believes that executives, corporate learning officers and training directors will benefit from his insights and suggestions.

This report aims to identify promising directions for restructuring programs of military education and training to make them more effective, affordable, and efficient. The document is motivated in part by the Department of Defense's Quadrennial Defense Review, which is examining ways to modernize and improve all DoD programs in light of the sweeping changes that have occurred in the past several years. The report summarizes results and insights from a number of RAND studies that assessed alternative concepts for restructuring military training programs within and across the military services. Most of the research discussed within comes from work conducted in RAND's Arroyo Center, the Army's federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for studies and analysis. However, where appropriate, the report draws upon research conducted in RAND's two other military FFRDCs-the National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), which serves the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the defense agencies; and Project AIR FORCE, which serves the Air Force.

First published in 1999, this collection of papers represents the latest thinking on the effects of globalisation and agri-food restructuring from a regional and peripheral perspective. The book breaks new ground in our understanding of the relationship between the global, regional and local levels in the sphere of agri-food production. While Australia and New Zealand are important components of the agri-food system, the economic and political decisions which impact at the regional and local level are usually made elsewhere - often in the boardrooms of global companies and the political institutions of Europe and North America. At the same time, however, Australia and New Zealand have sought to establish some independent room for manoeuvre. In Australia this can be seen in the targeting of consumers in South East Asia, and New Zealand has experienced both sweeping deregulation and niche marketing of goods such as organic produce. The success or failure of these strategies cannot currently be determined, but this invaluable collection presents and discusses some possible future scenarios. Featuring 31 specialists in sociology, geography, social anthropology, veterinary science, environmental studies and sustainable development, it is a product of the Agri-Food Research Network. The volume includes 19 essays which attempt to conceptualise a series of global trends and their local ramifications, explore Australian and New Zealand experiences of agri-food restructuring in historic, ideological and discursive terms, and analyse local policy and politics and the influence on rural producers, along with studying four key concepts underpinning agri-food research and the possibilities for their application in new areas. .
