'I feel that this book is so important .it is very well written
in a clear and concise prose. Even battle-hardened risk and value
managers like myself will benefit from revisiting best practice,
refreshing our tools and techniques and gaining new insights to
stretch ourselves.' QS News

'Countless practical examples and anecdotes, some of these
pertaining to international projects. Their high number and
frequent usage reflect the author's wealth of experience while
substantiating the practicality of concepts....The book is an
excellent resource and I recommend it.' CME Jan 2007
