About the Author
Dr. Alexander Laufer is the director of the Consortium for Project Leadership at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an industry consultant (whose clients include Motorola and NASA), and a chaired professor of civil engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. He has served as the director of the Center for Project Leadership at Columbia University. Dr. Laufer is the author or coauthor of six books; the two most recent ones are Mastering the Leadership Role in Project Management: Practices that Deliver Remarkable Results (FT Press, 2012) and Breaking the Code of Project Management (Macmillan, 2009).
Terry Little was the Department of Defense’s most seasoned manager of major programs, with more than 25 years’ experience leading major weapons acquisitions. Also one of the department’s most forceful advocates for program management innovation, Little is considered by many to be the best program manager in recent DoD history. Mr. Little served as executive director of the Missile Defense Agency―the senior civilian in an organization of approximately 8,000 employees―while also directing the $14 billion Kinetic Energy Interceptor Program. Currently, he consults on acquisition leadership and business development with The Spectrum Group and with Modern Technology Solutions and is an honorary professor at the Defense Systems Management College. Mr. Little holds an MS in systems analysis from the Air Force Institute of Technology and an MBA from the University of West Florida.
Dr. Jeffrey S. Russell is Vice Provost for Lifelong Learning, Dean of Continuing Studies, and Executive Director of the Consortium for Project Management at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Russell has earned a reputation as a leader in innovative project delivery systems and has served as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Management in Engineering and as founding editor-in-chief of Leadership and Management in Engineering. He is a Distinguished Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), has been elected to the National Academy of Construction (NAC) and as Fellow of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE).
Bruce Maas is the Vice Provost for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer (CIO) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a position he has held since August 2011. Prior to that, he served for seven years as the CIO at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Mispah books, Redhill, Surrey, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
