The book provides valuable guidance on overcoming the political and technical challenges to delivering projects that implement their vision on time and on budget. -Claude G. Lancome, Executive Vice President, Coast and Harbor Associates, Inc., USA This updated edition of David S. Kassel's book should be read by all elected officials involved in public projects. -Peter Jackson, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USA

Kassel's book should be read by all elected officials involved in public projects. -Peter Jackson, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USA As in the original book, the art and science of public sector project management are effectively presented through a constructive discussion of positive and negative examples in the second edition. These examples are more numerous and recent including the problematic rollout of the website for the Affordable Care Act.ã The new edition also contains an additional appendix in which four case studies are discussed in extensive detail. -Paul F. Mlakar, PE, Engineer Emeritus at the Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi, USA
