Medical Consequence Manager.......2007-04-17
I found this to be a good introduction to emergency management. I am using it in my course on Disaster Preparidness: medical consequency management. Well written and easy to read for the novice.
Somewhat useful.......2007-03-19
This book is more useful for someone in government. If you need emergency planning/mangement for a business or industry, the book is a good starter but will be limited. Too bad it was published right before Katrina.

Excellent overview of ITIL v2.......2007-08-01
This has been invaluable as a tool for learning about and teaching about ITIL. I have shared it with, and recommended it to, many colleagues and clients. I hope the authors are preparing an update for ITIL v3
Excelente libro en español sobre ITIL Foundations.......2006-08-09
Este libro es excelente como material de formación que permite presentar y obtener la certificación como ITSM Foundations.
Cubre de forma detallada cada uno de los procesos ITIL a nivel de sus objetivos, alcances, actividades, roles, etc. así como la relación con el resto de dichos procesos.
Recommended but Replaced?.......2006-04-05
This book was recommended to me on my ITIL Foundation course and for 6 months I have been trying to get a copy (Amazon and Blackwell's both failed). According to the publishers it has been superceeded by "Foundations of IT Service Management based on ITIL" ISBN 9077212582, also by Jan van Bon. I have ordered it from a supplier who has it in stock (try Google ISBN ...) but will never know if it is as good as ITSM:An Introduction.
What's the difference?.......2006-02-09
This " IT Service Management: An Introduction (Paperback) " published Apr'2005 paperback is only attributed to Van Bon.
Could someone point out the difference(s) in content between vs " IT Service Management: An Introduction (Paperback) by Jan Van Bon, George Kemmerling, Dick Pondman " published Sep'2002 ?
And why is the latter always 4-6 weeks availability?
Essential reading for those new to ITIL.......2006-01-11
The Office of Government Commerce's official ITIL books are great, and absolutely essential for anyone who does IT service management for a living, but the basic library will run you over $1000 in print, and the complete library on CD-ROM costs nearly $2000 (all prices in USD.)
If what you need is a good, serviceable introduction to ITIL that will give you excellent preparation for passing the ITIL Foundations exam, look no further than this book. It can be hard to get hold of, as it's understandably a very popular title right now, but it's worth tracking down and getting your hands on it; the price is certainly right, and the "just the basic facts" presentation makes for quick reading and good comprehension.
I do business process improvement work for a living; I have taken formal ITIL and CMMI training, and have also read a lot of books in this field.
If you're looking for the best introductory ITIL book on the market, this is absolutely it.
