An excellent texbook for the HR Management beginner

This textbook is designed to let the student extract the maximum information in minimum time. There is enough graphics with tables, charts and bullet points and some passages are in gray. When you read it, you realize that HR Management is no brain surgery, just the appliacation of principles, common sense, fairness and decency. The book has plenty of useful references and readings for those who are interested in further HR reading, but covers comprtehensively all the basic stuff, incl. HR history and some real-life examples. However, since it is a textbook, the only point to improve in the next edition, is boxing or highlighting all the definitions, and adding some poignant Australian examples.
