"Hurry and get this book publishedI′d like to use it in my current class. It is better than anything else I′ve seen. The book covers more topics than most textbooks. I like the way in includes the change process, the understanding of how to find high quality literature and research, and the understanding of the research processes. I also like the inclusion of the topic of assessing the context. -- Thomas L. Alsbury
