"This book is a good addition to the technical community as a resource for educating, from an academic and theoretical perspective, new engineers regarding the challenges of leadership and innovation in the workplace."
-Kevin E Howard, Cofounder and CTO - K4M Consulting, USA

"In Essentials of Engineering Leadership and Innovation, Pamela McCauley makes a compelling case for engineering professionals to become socially responsible leaders and innovators. This book is designed for engineering and technology students, but may also appeal to engineering and technology professionals seeking stepping into leadership roles in their organizations. McCauley artfully combines interesting case studies, extensive research findings and insightful profiles of scientists and engineers to help mold the next generation of STEM leaders and innovators."
- Linda Naimi, Purdue University, USA

"Leadership, in every context, is important in this day and age. The ability to help and influence others to obtain, not only the business or organization's goals, but their own professional goals is one of the things that is currently separating high achieving organizations from their peers. This book establishes the need and importance of exploring engineering leadership as a viable path to help better ensure an organization's success."
- Robert W. Lion, Idaho State University, USA

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
