"Dennis Lock's masterly exposition of the principles and practice of project management has been pre-eminent in its field for three decades. It examines the entire process in detail, from initial appraisal to final closedown, demonstrating techniques that range from the simplest of manual charts to sophisticated computer systems. The text is reinforced throughout by examples and diagrams. Project Management is the best British textbook on the subject and offers excellent value for money when compared to its main (US) competitors."
This is heavily laced with a practitioners perspective and insights and some of them can be very valuable especially for those involved in construction projects. He also does not shy away from the accounting side of project costing and while it does not receive the depth and treatment this deserves he at least brings it into sight unlike the 99% of other project management that act like this area doesn't exist.

If you want to get serious about project management then get this book first and foremost. Dennis Lock has strong opinions throughout the book however, this just gives the material a more personalised one-to-one tutorial feel. His examples are clear and practical, and he draws from extensive experience and theory. It covers all areas that are required, even purchasing and estimating. Invaluable for any project manager - any level.
