Abstract
This is the anniversary edition of Brooks's authoritative book The Mythical Man-Month whose first edition appeared already in 1975. In it the author elaborates on the methodology of software development and tribulations of software project management based on his vast personal experience in this domain. In fact, the undertitle of the book - Essays on Software Engineering - is its best description, Brooks being concerned primarily with productivity in developing large software systems. The book is written very clearly and shows deep insight into this problem, using an informal style to present individual issues and related conclusions, thus making reading it a pure delight.
