"Another homerun for Ed Rose, author of Presenting and Traning with Magic. This book is a fresh presentation of genuinely useful team development activities. A 'must- read' for anyone wanting to use experimental learning initiatives with their teams." Tim Rumsey, President, Dynamic Learning and author of Not Just Games: Using Experimental Learning to Drive Business Results

"Excellent! This is a well-organized book intentionally targeting the corporate client. Mr. Rose's emphasis on relatively sophisticated, origionally-focused facilitation is a refreshing change from other books that weigh activity over process, and lack the critical 'real world' business thrust. Readers and practitionersalike will appreciate the principles underlying this book, given their relevence for the future success of any workplace. A very thoughtful, professional, and valuable addition to the increasingly sophisticated feild of performance-based experiential learning." -- Brian Jackson, President of Orion Trust

Battling for the attention of the adult learner is a war that Ed knows how to win. Between the covers of this book there are more than fifty things to be learned and experienced. Read, share, and celebrate." -- Ray Green, CEO Paradigm Learning, Inc. and co-developer of Zodiak, The Game of Business Finance and Strategy
