Customer Reviews

A great textbook March 20, 2011
by Martin

I did enjoy every page of this book, although I haven't read all of them. It's more an encyclopedia, which you may use in your day-to-day business, than something you will read straight through over the weekend. The book is beautifully written, concise, and has a strong scholarly foundation. It is a guideline to learn how to communicate better. The book combines much useful information. Various examples and appendices are helpful in ordinary (but important) questions. It is a straight-to-the-point book.
