(5th edition is available in web format from OHSU library 24x7 book collection.) If you are, or
think you will be, involved in project management throughout your career, I recommend the
newer edition. It is a book more appropriate for advanced students. However, since we only use
a few chapters from this book for class, if you are a clinician or PhD student the free (library) or
cheaper (older edition) is entirely appropriate.
