Dear colleagues
I thought you might be interested to know that the following book has just been published:
"Megaproject Planning and Management: Essential Readings," Vols. I-II, Elgar, 1424 pp.
See description and full Table of Contents here:
http://bit.ly/1hQnZYV
The book is the first to collect in one publication the "classics" of megaproject management. From the back cover description:
"Megaproject Planning and Management: Essential Readings contains the seminal articles from the growing body of research on megaproject planning and management along with an original introduction by the editor. Bent Flyvbjerg ... has used crowdsourcing and 25 years of experience to cherry-pick from several hundred articles and books the writings that define this new and exciting area of policy, business and academic inquiry. This volume will be an indispensable resource for those wishing to speak with authority about how megaprojects are prepared, delivered and fought over. The target audience is students, academics, practitioners, and media pundits alike, as well as communities affected by megaprojects."
Any help in sharing this information would be greatly appreciated. If you think your library might be interested in a copy, please do pass them this info. Any comments you may have on the book would also be valued, including suggestions for articles that should go into the next edition of the book.
I apologize for the high prize of the book. This is caused by copyright fees for the 70 papers included. As small consolation, I've negotiated a 25% discount for fellow listserv users. Use this code before June 30: FLYV25
I hope this is useful.
Cordially
Bent
