"An Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Project Management" according to NotMarkTwain. Ugh! All the joy and engagement of reading a dictionary to learn how to write poetry. Bought this for a PM elective in an MBA program and I'm now about half way through. I'm an experienced PM in industry and Government. I'm glad I didn't start with a text like this when considering PM duty. Else, I would have surrendered all enthusiasm (or hanged myself) and headed for job in the shipping department . This is an encyclopedic, monotonous, enumerative narrative with no literary cueues on the importance or significance of topics therein. It all just IS . FrankP said It's a much better reference than a textbook. Very thorough book on project management. But poorly referenced and it's very difficult to find anything. I reference the book in my classes on project management and know a lot of project managers who own it. But I never talked to a project manager who actually read the entire book. It's a much better reference than a textbook.. Uses Wikipedia as a Source Joseph J. Lonergan The author uses Wikipedia as a reference. I thought it was a fluke when he used a definition of a process from Wikipedia, but not one page later an entire three paragraphs was taken directly from Wikipedia according to the author, but without any actual online citation reference (link, date accessed, etc.).This alone warrants the one star. Wikipedia is not reliable source material.
