Practice based book - Thumb up, Excellent

Dr. Kerzner made an excellent synthesis of project management from a practical point of view. Pure experience sorted and regrouped alongside topics of excellence. The book is rich of diagrammes, graphics, screen copies and all sort of illustrations which helped thousands of project actors to grasp and retain the notions. I appreciated the European touch as well. If you manage projects, this book is a must. If you manage projects for over 10 years, take it with you even during your holidays.
