Reviews for MPO, 2E from Amazon:

Yong Cai from Shanghai: "This book is very helpful to knowledge workers. It is now translated into Chinese and doing well in China -- the first printing sold out quickly. It is friendly written and interesting. It concentrates on real issues on projects. These are not techniques, but people issues.Managing Projects in Organizations has many examples that arerealistic and apply in all industries and cultures. I find it especially useful for practioners in the financial and information technology sectors."

Highly readable and on point, August 21, 2000 Jason Voorhis from New Jersey: "This book is a refreshing look at what is most important in achieving project success: people functioning in organizations. While it reviews key tools and techniques in a user-friendly fashion, its chief goal is to raise readers' awareness of the central role of people and organizations in delivering successful projects. What's more, it is an easy read, filled with practical examples of real world scenarios. It is particularly useful for knowledge workers in businesses like IT, finance and telecoms."
