Conclusion
By comparing the Table of Contents of Book [B] to the original PMBOK 1987, it is clear that a lot of extraneous detail of a behavioral nature has been included, and a lot of important material identifying specific skill sets has been omitted. In short, the latest so-called PMBOK® Guide follows a completely different theme of advocating behavior, rather than addressing the foundational basics of professional project management as originally intended.
In short, to avoid total confusion of the PMI membership, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge — Seventh Edition as it stands should be officially withdrawn and republished under a more appropriate title.
