you read and may become a consultant.......2006-10-11
I recommend this book for its full coverage on all the aspects of construction management, approaching the real field problems, solutions, tips and the very well explained example that is built chapter by chapter.
Theory and practice merge in a very palatable way. Any one who read it carefully, may become a consultant on Construction Management.
a useful book to who will devote oneself to PM egineer.......2000-06-01
this book is instructive!

The book is designed to teach planners and schedulers in any industry how to setup and use the software in a project environment. It explains in plain English and in a logical sequence, the steps required to create and maintain an unresourced and resourced schedule. It tackles some of the more complex aspects of the software that the user manual does not address. It highlights the sources of information and the methods that should be employed to produce a realistic and useful project schedule. It draws on the author's practical experience in using the software in a wide variety of industries. It presents workable solutions to real day to day planning and scheduling problems and contains practical advice on how to set up the software and import data. It includes exercises, a large number of screen dumps, numerous tips and an index.

Book Description
R. Buckminster Fuller is regarded as one of the most important figures of the 20th century, renowned for his achievements as an inventor, designer, architect, philosopher, mathematician, and dogged individualist. Perhaps best remembered for the Geodesic Dome and the term "Spaceship Earth," his work and his writings have had a profound impact on modern life and thought.Critical Path is Fuller's master work--the summing up of a lifetime's thought and concern--as urgent and relevant as it was upon its first publication in 1981. Critical Path details how humanity found itself in its current situation-at the limits of the planet's natural resources and facing political, economic, environmental, and ethical crises. The crowning achievement of an extraordinary career, Critical Path offers the reader the excitement of understanding the essential dilemmas of our time and how responsible citizens can rise to meet this ultimate challenge to our future.

Over my head.......2007-06-18
I have to tackle this book in small chunks. I would agree with the review that said the book is not very well written, but the ideas contained are phenomenal. How can you judge something like this? material in the book is 5 stars the ease of reading is 3 stars. I am a forward thinker and a college grad and a fan of Bucky, but it really isn't anything you can just sit down and read. Lots of time for ponderance between reading chapters, to allow comprehension and digestion. This is a must buy for fans of Fuller.
Omni-important.......2006-03-13
This is a tremendous book. Frankly, I am only writing this review to criticize those who didn't like it. (didn't get it more likely) First, one must understand that Bucky was a very unique thinker. As far "slapping on" a word like "omni" in order to sound more intelligent... well that just shows how ignorant the reviewer is. First off, Bucky used his own vocabulary ( that is explained in the book). There was another person who did that once.... Oh yeah I remember SHAKESPEARE!! The word "lonely" didn't exist before Shakes. Pass over this book if you a mediocre person with low intellect.
Good thoughts, poorly written.......2006-02-20
This book was a struggle to read and enjoy. The author, though he has decent ideas (albeit very outdated), takes so many tangents, his point is never clearly made. It's like listening to Grandpa rant on about everything and nothing. I consider myself a very logical "scientifically minded" person. Much of Fuller's ideas of history of humanity are logically thought out based on his understanding and experience although it is not all necessarily based on sufficient scientific/ archeological evidence. So it's difficult to differentiate between which is credible mainstream theory and personal philosophical thoughts. I think the book has some wonderful ideas that apply especially to today's society. It's just a shame that the book was written so poorly and the train of thought was poorly organized. By the way, the Dymaxiom house is a horrible, unsustainable invention. That's why only a couple were built.
"bucky" buckmaster IS "the man".......2005-11-29
The book---CRITICAL PATH by the late Dr.R. Buckmaster Fuller,
has many fine concepts, and potential realities in it.
DR. Fuller had designs for the Dynamaxion House, and this would
have offered to even our "working poor" the golden opportunity
to afford a house--and establish credit while being on the way up. This is called physiocracy.
Fuller, like other misundersttod geniuses like Nikola Tesla,
Preston Tucker, and others, was NOT lacking vision.
The lack of vision occurred, and still occurs, when the
INDIVIDUAL reduced to being a "number" and NOT appreciated for
the Future of Humanity.
The only difference between the late Howard Hughes and Dr.
Fuller--IS BIG MONEY to "make it happen".
Progress MUST be contingent on the initiative of the INDIVIDUAL,
NOT extreme monopolism.
Also:
We can be Patriots and Internationalists--at the same time.
As Fuller points out, ALL nations are being "de-sovereignized"
gradually.
However, Fuller does NOT believe automatic "world government".
With Fuller;
"Air-headism" is NOT the "name of the game".
Fuller shows, in chronological order, Humankind's progress.
Men and Women MUST understand this truism.
Fuller book--CRITICAL PATH--is a " REAL MUST READ"!!
Fuller warned us in CRITICAL PATH that we were wrecking our
environment.
Fuller designed Dynamaxion Cars, and aircraft.
READ the book CRITICAL PATH: You might, just might, learn
something.
Leave the pseudo-intellectalism for the nightly media "talking
heads" and the other blow-harded dullards.
Amen for CRITICAL PATH!!
from;
Dr. Nick Stage--PHD.
Your intellectual who likes using my John Deere tractor
in Hoosierland.
I am going to build my "second home" as a Neo-Dynamaxion
dwelling.
Bye, y'all.
How the world should be.......2005-11-04
First off, do not even attempt to read this book if you are not planning to finish it and you plan on studying it. It is more of a textbook for humanity than anything else.
It is by far the best, most thought provoking book I have ever read.

Customer Reviews:
Probably one of the best books on CPM ever written.......2007-05-12
This is by far the most interesting and comprehensive book I've ever read on project scheduling. The concept of Momentology is much more viable than Critical Chain and should really deserve more attention.
Although not for the novice scheduler, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in CPM.
Customer Reviews:
Not the best book out there.......2007-08-26
This was presented as a text for a continuing education class and I read it cover to cover. For a third edition, it still has a lot of typos and other annoying errors. It just doesn't seem like a professional manual. There is no glossary, and much of the book is taken up by tables and specs for an imaginary project. Also, I an others in the class who have years of experience in the trades found it confusing or worthless. It just isn't a well organized book. I found better information online for free.

Customer Reviews:
Ideas are old and used.......2003-12-30
I was looking for far more refreshing ideas. The book is really basic.
Serious financial advisor guidebook.......2003-12-08
Each chapter is designed to help the experienced advisor think about his or her business, evaluate what to improve and then focus on doing it. Matt is combination professional coach, psychologist, researcher, teacher and motivationist. Matt's understanding of the high net worth market and marketing process makes this a must-read, as well a guidebook for continued reference.
Excellent!!!.......2003-12-02
Matt does a great job at providing a step by step plan for attracting high net worth clients. If you are looking to build a successful financial advisory practice this is a must read!!!!!
A Must Read for Serious Financial Advisors.......2003-11-27
Matt Oechsli's new book, "Mastering High Net Worth Selling" is so on target with what is needed to be successful in today's market place. I found it most useful in giving you very practical self evaluation skills with the appropriate applications and solutions to fix your weaknesses (or complete ommission of crucial steps). The book differs from so many books that are long on generalities, but short on substance.
This book is easy to read and easy to apply in to your practice.
Highly recommend.
From the Publisher of Registered Rep Magazine.......2003-11-20
This book truly provides the financial advisor with a roadmap for building their practice and retaining clients of worth...
