Constantines range is extraordinary: project management, group development, discipline vs. chaos, tools, models, methods, processes, personalities, usability, and beyond.The Peopleware Papers includes two completely new sections: one on organizational culture, and another on making software objects more usable - including Constantines hard-to-find, breakthrough essays on usage-centered design.
