Construction Innovation and Process Improvement
Innovation in construction is essential for growth. The industry strives to remain competitive using a variety of approaches and needs to engage structured initiatives linked to proven innovation concepts, techniques and applications. Even in mature markets like the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector, where business behaviour is generally considered as being risk averse, it is increasingly important to embed innovation into mainstream business practices. In Construction Innovation and Process Improvement a number of wide ranging issues from construction practice in different countries with different contexts are presented to provide a rich collection of literature embrac...
The Hero, the Widow and the Army Pensions Board
The story of George and Margaret Geoghegan. George was a foot soldier in the Easter Rising of 1916 in Dublin who managed to achieve some sort of minor fame for being one of the 84 rebels killed in Easter week. His wife Margaret was left to raise their three children in one of the most notorious slums in Europe. The book also details her interminable correspondence with the Army Pensions Board, seeking to gain redress. Also contains genealogical material of the Geoghegan and Ledwidge families of Dublin.
A Reporter’s Journey:
This memoir traces his family from 18th century Vilnius, Poland, but focuses on his life in the post-World War II San Fernando Valley, a collection of mostly chicken ranches and citrus groves that grew explosively to 1.2 million people in four decades. If it were a separate city, “the Valley” would be the sixth largest in the country. His memoir traces his development as an L.A. Times reporter and editor and provides the backstory to some of the more notable of his several thousand stories during a 13-year reporting career and commentary on his accomplishments as an editorial executive, a leader in California newspapering and protecting the First Amendment. His reporting career paralleled sweeping U.S. social changes, including demands for women’s rights, gay rights and civil rights.

Integrating Innovation in Architecture
Today’s design professionals are faced with challenges on all fronts. They need not only to keep in step with rapid technological changes and the current revolution in design and construction processes, but to lead the industry. This means actively seeking to innovate through design research, raising the bar in building performance and adopting advanced technologies in their practice. In a constant drive to improve design processes and services, how is it possible to implement innovations? And, moreover, to assimilate them in such a way that design, methods and technologies remain fully integrated? Focusing on innovations in architecture, this book covers new materials and design methods, ...
