"Hands-On Project Management, Principles and Concepts" introduces the reader to the principles, concepts, tools and techniques of project management. It has nine chapters and 274 pages of A4+ format, which is equal to around 600 pages of regular printing format. Each chapter expands upon PMBOK© (knowledge areas) and provides additional examples for practical and theoretical aspects of "hands on project management." It provides actual examples; tested techniques, tools, and methodologies; and raises and answers many frequently asked questions.
Every chapter has a number of diagrams, documents, tables, and graphs that help a reader to understand subjects, recommended tools and techniques and utilize them.
Examples in the book cover scope management, resource allocation and utilization, time and cost estimate techniques, risk quantification, procurement, quality and communication management.
Some of the document samples are:

"Hands-on Project Management: Principles and Concepts" book is designed for project management professionals, functional managers, account managers, program and operations managers, coordinators, team leaders, engineers, and students. It provides materials for managers at all levels; from those who want to begin using project management practices to those eager to refine their managerial skills. For project manager professionals this book will serve as a reference guide that will support their everyday activities.
The book is easy to understand. It presents material in logical way. I recommend it as a reference source and training manual.
