Review
...remains an excellent choice for a course that introduces ocean circulation and physical oceanography in an intuitive nonmathematical way. Without much advanced mathematics, the book continues to present the basic dynamics of ocean circulation without getting bogged down in derivations. For those who want a nonmathematical introduction to ocean circulation and physical oceanography, Ocean Circulation continues to be the text of choice - The Bulletin of the American Meteorlogical Society
From the Publisher
step-by-step approach for developing learning and performance measures and a method for analyzing and reporting results A new addition to the highly successful Improving Human Performance Series While return-on-investment measurement programs have gained wide acceptance and popularity over the last few years, two key components to successful program evaluation are often neglected: learning and performance evaluation.
This book provides a step-by-step approach for developing learning and performance measures and a method for analyzing and reporting results. The easy to use format serves as a quick reference-featuring the necessary checklists to evaluate the situation and tools for immediate application in a number of organizational settings-sales, leadership, and technical. It will prove an invaluable resource for anyone involved in training, HRD, human resource measurement and evaluation, and performance improvement.
