Looking for a Book: A Concise Overview of Project Management

Adam Michaelson American Fork, Ut, United States

I've done a quick search on Amazon, BarnesandNoble, and a few other sites looking for a simple introduction to project management. I'd like it to be recent and short -- around 150-200 pages long. Three that I found that might fit the bill are:

1. Project Management (briefcase books series) - Heerkens, 2001, 250 pgs
2. Fundamentals of Project Management - Lewis, 2006, 160 pgs
3. Project Management Tool Kit, Kendrick, 2004, 256 pgs

Can anyone recommend these? Do you have any other recommendations?

I don't know any of the books mentioned below.

Dependent on the reason why you need a concise overview I would recommend Herding chickens written by Dan Bradbary and David Garret (where did I hear that name before)

Fun to read and giving a good overview in 250 pages (Slight overrun oeps)

ISBN 0-7821-4383-0

Hopes this helps Hans
