Review: Life in the New Work Order, or What Was I Doing Reading Death March? 
So what is there in this book for the technical writer? There is some obvious advice, such as don't enforce a process that gets in the way of reaching goals; and don't try out radically new tools on this project. There is also good advice that most of us would take years to discover on our own, about the high-level politics that might help the project and some strategies to try during negotiation. If you are managing a group, it also gives some ideas on the different social roles that every team seems to need.

Review: Herding Chickens: Innovative Techniques for Project Management
Herding Chickens: Innovative Techniques for Project Management is a different take on managing people and projects. Although the authors do pay homage to The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), published by the Project Management Institute, you will not in any way confuse their ideas and tips with the approach you find in the PMBOK.
