Historical Perspectives in Industrial and Organizational Psychology Reviews

The chapter authors appear to be very knowledgeable about their topics and, in many cases, did a lot of background work to get the details the chapters contain, especially the early chapters on people and places important to the history.

I believe all graduate students in IO psychology should have a copy of this book. The book provides a rich basis for an undergraduate or graduate survey course in IO psychology.

There is a crying need for this book in the psychology curriculum. There is no survey of IO as comprehensive as this. Given the enormous impact IO has had on modern society, I believe many teachers will assign this volume as required reading.
