The book will replace our classic text/reference "Cost Estimating" by the late Rod Stewart. The reviews indicate that if the book follows the proposed outline it should become the next classic book for all levels of the market.
The book will thoroughly cover both cost estimating and analysis from the basics through advanced applications. Throughout the book real world cases and examples will be used to help professionals better implement the correct cost tools. The book will also be the perfect textbook for courses in cost estimating and analysis offered by the defense department (Air Force Institute of Technology, Naval Postgraduate School, Defense Acquisitions University, and the Marine Corps University) and in courses offered at regular universities in business and engineering schools.
