This reviewer's comments on ESD Program Management can be summarized in one word:

Ted takes the often-neglected position of practicality. Many ESD writers use the "scare" technique to form their ESD works. Ted's descriptions of the science of ESD and the implementation of a workable ESD program are down-to-earth, practical, reasonable and most importantly understandable. His optimized approach to ESD if used, would save most companies a great deal of money while maintaining a sensible ESD program. This book is destined to be a classic in ESD.

The book is divided into the following Chapters:
Chapter 1- Twelve Critical Factors in ESD Program Management (This is the chapter quoted by Neils Jonnasen in his book (see review)
Chapter 2- Common Myths (What a treasure chest of information.)
Chapter 3- Implementing an ESD Control Program: The Basic Steps
Chapter 4- Fundamentals of Electrostatics
Chapter 5- Economic Benefits: Seven Convincing Case Studies
Chapter 6- Designed-In Protection and Product Testing
Chapter 7- ESD Test Facilities
Chapter 8- Realistic Requirements
Chapter 9- Common Problems in Smaller Companies
Chapter 10- Guidelines for Smaller Companies: An Innovative System Audit
Chapter 11- Internal Auditing
Chapter 12- Using Auditing Results to Manage the ESD Program
Chapter 13- Statistical Process Control and ISO-9000
Chapter 14- Material Characterization and Auditing Measurements
Chapter 15- Purchasing Guidelines: Finding the Hidden Costs and Problems
Chapter 16- Training for Measurable Goals
Chapter 17- Training Demonstrations: Basic Equipment
Chapter 18- Packaging Considerations
Chapter 19- Automation
Chapter 20- Strategic and Economic Benefits
