Pertinent pointers for real-world issues

It's difficult to stand out in a field where experts crop up as quickly as the technologies they disseminate, but Stone's insights go beyond the transient technological specifics, and address those thorny underlying issues that reemerge like unsightly weeds with each seasonal paradigm. Stone cuts deep to the difficult areas where technology, culture, and even psychological drivers interact to produce challenges impervious to superficial solutions. These are the observations of someone who has clearly 'been there and done that,' with none of the jargon, posturing, or nebulous theory that fills all too many books on the management of technology. To any person faced with controling a technology-intensive company, project, or department, I could recommend no better book to read first, and then keep close at hand for frequent reference.
