[Joe Frankie]

A very good book and reference. Steve Devereux did a great job with his non-technical approach to this book. He laid the foundation in earlier chapters and built on it throughout the book, including referring back to the earlier discussions. It handles the organizations, chains of command, health and safety as it pertains to the general topic of drilling technology.
