Achieving Value for Money in Capital Build Projects
This book is the first to bring together academic and practitioner views of Value for Money (VFM). VFM has been used to assess whether or not an organisation has obtained the maximum benefit within the resources available to it. A concept used by the public sector to assess the benefits of major built environment projects, it has become a major tenet of public private partnerships, capital project infrastructure and civil engineering megaprojects. This book presents and discusses the various debates surrounding the concept of Value for Money. It provides an international perspective on VFM by drawing upon the existing and fast developing body of principles and practices for Capital Build Pro...
Contract Law in the Construction Industry Context
This book chronicles how contract cases from the construction industry have influenced, solidified, refined and particularized U.S. contract law. The book’s central claim is that the construction industry experience has helped to contextualize U.S. contract law and, therefore, has encouraged the common law to be more receptive to flexible legal standards and practices and less constrained by the relatively rigid rules that often characterize contract law. Other scholarly books analyze the themes, values, standards, and principles of contemporary contract law, but none captures how construction industry relationships and practices have influenced the common law of contracts.

Kruso
Edgar Bendler, 24 jaar, vlucht uit zijn eigen leven, en verlaat Berlijn. Hij wordt afwasser op Hiddensee, een legendarisch eiland in de Oostzee waar mensen naar uitweken wanneer ze de DDR wilden ontvluchten. Hier is Alexander Krusovitsj, Kruso, de spil van een kleine gemeenschap aangespoelde drenkelingen van zeer diverse pluimage. Zij vormen een bijzondere en schijnbaar hechte groep einzelgängers die daar een restaurant draaiend houdt, Zum Klausner. Tussen Kruso en Ed bloeit een tere vriendschap op. Maar het is 1989: de Wende komt met rasse schreden naderbij. Hoe afgelegen ook, ook op Hiddensee vangen ze af en toe flarden op van de nieuwe ontwikkelingen. Kruso’s kleine samenleving-buiten-de-samenleving begint te wankelen. Kruso slaat een brug tussen de zomer van 1989 en het heden, en volgt het spoor van de vele duizenden mensen die op hun vlucht over de Oostzee zijn verdwenen.
De prins in vodden
De zoon van de koning, kroonprins Johan, wil ontdekken hoe het er in het land echt aan toegaat en ruilt daarom van leven en kleding met Jan Bedelaarszoon. Johan maakt, gekleed als zwerver, kennis met het zware leven van de armen en leert veel mensen kennen. Ondertussen leert Jan hoe hij zich in het paleis moet gedragen als een echte prins. Ze komen erachter dat de burgemeester helemaal niet zo'n goede burgemeester is. Hij helpt de arme mensen juist helemaal niet en wil alleen maar meer geld voor zichzelf. De burgemeester wordt gestraft en uiteindelijk komt alles goed en zijn de mensen weer gelukkig. Een mooi sprookje met illustraties, om voor te lezen of kinderen zelf te laten lezen.
Connecting Art Markets
Based on Guilliam Forchondt’s surviving business documentation in Antwerp and applying an aggregate and data-driven approach, Connecting Art Markets focuses on the role of art dealers in mediating the supply and demand for art, behaving in particular ways as to influence the markets for artworks in which they were strategically invested. Van Ginhoven presents her findings on Guilliam Forchondt’s workshop production volumes and transatlantic art trade flows, and evaluates the relationship between the production of paintings in the Southern Netherlands, their local, regional and overseas distribution channels, and the markets for these works in Europe and the Americas during the seventeenth century.
South Yorkshire Mining Disasters
In the period that we now call the Industrial Revolution mining disasters wrecked the lives of thousands of South Yorkshire families and devastated entire communities. The Husker pit flooding of 1838 in which 26 young girls and boys were killed shocked Victorian society and and was a significant factor in the 1842 Report on Employment of Women and Children in Mines; but earlier, long forgotten disasters are also explored. The Barnsley area was particularly hard-hit during the middle decades of the century with major mining accidents, usually great explosions of firedamp occurring, for example, at Lundhill Colliery (189 men and boys killed); Oaks (361 fatalities, Britains worst pit disaster) and Swaithe Main (143 dead). Scenes of grief, mourning and remarkable heroism provided spectacular copy for Victorian newspapers and magazines such as The Illustrated London News, focusing on the very uncertain and dangerous life of the miner. Despite the importance and widespread occurrence of South Yorkshire mining disasters, which also included dreadful winding accidents and gas emissions, their story has never been told in a single volume.
