Some fat non-fiction books (especially those written by Americans) say the same thing over and over again, on thick paper, and that's what makes the book fat. I get the impression that they do that because they can charge more for a fat book than for a thin book.
This book is not like that. It is fat because it contains a lot of infomation. There is so much concentrated information, knowledge and insight in here, and I get new insights and approaches even by skipping ahead and paging through it s...more

Disclaimer: this book is effectively a training manual, and therefore its value is in giving you skills to practise. On that basis I can only review it (currently) having just finished reading it.

I am too close to this book to be considered an unbiased reviewer... but I own everything Dettmer has written on this subject. Completed my "Jonah" training with the master Jonah's Jonah... and consider it a privilege to call Bill "friend".

Set aside some time, as he has commented several times, his books are not fast reds by any stretch of imagination!
But they are thorough and worth every minute you spend...

Not really 'true' sentential logic but similar concepts for a systems approach to process improvement. A must read for anyone who needs 'rules for clear thinking' and doesn't want to read Descartes.
