Sustainable Building Adaptation
How to adapt existing building stock is a problem being addressed by local and state governments worldwide. In most developed countries we now spend more on building adaptation than on new construction and there is an urgent need for greater knowledge and awareness of what happens to commercial buildings over time. Sustainable Building Adaptation: innovations in decision-making is a significant contribution to understanding best practice in sustainable adaptations to existing commercial buildings by offering new knowledge-based theoretical and practical insights. Models used are grounded in results of case studies conducted within three collaborative construction project team settings in Aus...

A Step-by-Step Guide to Conducting an Integrative Review
This book provides guidance to readers for how to conduct an integrative review. Over the decades, with the expansion of evidence-based practice (EBP), the evolution of methods used in reviews has resulted in a wide spectrum of review types. Due to the overlapping characteristics of the various review methods, confusion exists related to terminology, descriptions and methods of each type. To fill this gap, this book examines components necessary to conduct a rigorous integrative review from formulating questions through dissemination of the results of the review. Each chapter focuses on one component or step in this process and is written in a straightforward and readable manner. An integrat...
Envisioning Architecture
Examples of world-renowned masters of architecture are used in this enlightening book that explores the "why" of architectural drawing, rather than the "how." By emphasizing the value of drawing over technique, the authors demonstrate how the drawing itself influences the designer's processes of thought, and exerts its own pull on the evolution of the concept.
Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods Simplified
PreambleIn the book "Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods Simplified" I attempt to acquaint the beginning researcher with the available options in the field. I sought to present the information in a simple way so as to demystify Research methods which are thought to be complex by most beginner researchers.The basic aim of this book is to provide a simple flexible readership of technical issues in research in glossary format one at a time. Therefore subtopics are explained in their own stead to be picked and understood as and when necessary. The book is written principally for university students at masters, undergraduate, diploma and tertiary college level that haven't had prior enc...
Consumer Vulnerability and Welfare in Mortgage Contracts
This book advocates a new way of thinking about mortgage contracts. This claim is based on the assumption that we currently live in a political economy in which consumer debt fulfils a social function. In the field of housing this is evidenced by the expansion of mortgage credit through which consumers are to purchase residential property as a means of social inclusion and personal welfare. It is suggested that contract law needs to adjust to this new social function in order to avoid welfare losses in terms of default, over-indebtedness, and possibly eviction. To this end, this book analyses theoretical contract law frameworks and makes concrete proposals for contract law in the EU legal order.
