The original intent of the book remains paramount: to provide an up-to-date textbook for readers who are novices in the area of human relations or for practitioners with little formal training in the subject. This edition examines the most interesting human relationsdevelopments of the early millennium. Many of these issues, while not found in other human relations textbooks, relate to current topics discussed in today's newspapers and magazines.
