Summary: Organization Change: Theory and Practice is much more about theory than it is about practice. Although the book features several examples and some more detailed cases of organizational change, the main focus throughout remains on theory. Thus, this work serves as an excellent review of organizational change theory and provides insights into the connections between and among the several streams of research over several decades. Writing in the first person, Burke (Teachers College, Columbia Univ.) communicates his fascination with the complexity of organizations and the challenges of organizational change. While his own numerous contributions to the theory of organizational change are apparent, the tone is one of humility as he delineates the many challenges that remain to understanding change and change leadership. The closing chapter, which highlights "what we need to know" yet about organization change, should be particularly helpful to those looking for an opportunity to advance their research in this field. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate, faculty, and research collections. B. J. Keinath University of Minnesota Crookston
