Great "first exposure"

This book by Scott Parry starts with "How to Use This Book," which sets a great tone for the rest of the information. The writing style is to-the-point and packed (perhaps even over-packed) with information that's relevant to today's training professional. I find it especially useful for beginning trainers or training managers, but seasoned folks may only want it for a refresher or two. Contents include the reasons for linking training to performance improvement, training needs analysis, designing and developing a training program, and classroom management / facilitation skills. If you take it in chunks, the information is managable--if you try to read it all at one sitting, you may feel overwhelmed. Generally, it's very practical and worth putting on your expense account.
