The second edition of this comprehensive textbook has been fully revised and updated, streamlining chapters and ensuring accessibility. Sustainability is now at the core of this textbook, showing students how projects can achieve success and create value for all stakeholders, ensuring projects for people, planet and prosperity. 

Key features of this edition include:

Over 100 case studies from across different industries and countries such as Spain, Denmark, Qatar, Kenya, South Africa, Australia and Brazil. 

With an array of pedagogical features and complemented by supplementary online resources, this textbook is essential reading for students and managers undertaking a project management course at either the undergraduate or postgraduate level.

The publication is very attractive and well laid out, with numerous, useful graphics which bring additional understanding to the subject. Some of the graphics are unique to Project Management and are creative presentations.

The book contains 13 case studies which are very well chosen sustainable projects, but the delivery is so flat, with no real spark, or "gem" of insight which makes them memorable examples.

There are chapter by chapter "what would you do" sections which are excellent and engaging. They provided insightful challenge which requires a mix of leadership, sensitivity, dexterity and PM skill to over come.

Ultimately this edition is not what i am looking for.
