Supplements
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.
A very good and balaced book. I´m looking forward to work with it togather with the students.
