I've got this one. It's got some good ideas in it and a pretty unique program that cna be adapted to pretty much any phase of sport you need it to. It covers his Triple Tier system (I think that's the name. Don't have access to the book right now) in detail but there's an article floating around online covering the gist of the program. If oyu can find it and like what you see, the book is worth it even if it is a bit hard to implement. It's not the most clearly laid out book.

It's called complex training. Basically a max-effort movement followed immediately by an explosive one. Both movements should be simliar. A good example would be heavy squats followed by jumping squats or bench press followed by plyometric pushups.
You can't compare it to a conditioning routine, because that's not what it's for. It's to develope max strength and explosiveness. Rest between sets is usually 2-5min or so.
