Are the underlying causes of disasters substantially different from those that result in one or two fatalities?This book seeks to answer these questions by systematically analysing mine disasters and fatal incidents in five countries (Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the USA) since 1992. It finds that ther...
Gerencia de proyectos inmobiliarios. Una mirada desde la experiencia

Congote sabe que el gerente de proyectos es como el director de la orquesta, quien se apoya en su grupo de músicos para lograr una ejecución exitosa. Así, para enseñar los temas centrales del mundo de la construcción, ha reunido aportes de sus colegas, competidores y asesores en muchas de las materias que conforman la cadena de valor y la producción de inmuebles, consolidando en estos dos tomos una mirada enriquecida y profunda sobre la gerencia. Los aportes aquí reunidos llevarán al lector a conocer anécdotas, problemas y soluciones que se han presentado en el desarrollo de proyectos inmobiliarios y de empresas del sector, al tiempo que darán lugar a reflexiones y permitirán fortalecer conceptos clave en la formación de futuros gerentes.
Transitioning to a Prosperous, Resilient and Carbon-Free Economy
This book is a comprehensive manual for decision-makers and policy leaders addressing the issues around human caused climate change, which threatens communities with increasing extreme weather events, sea level rise, and declining habitability of some regions due to desertification or inundation. The book looks at both mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming and adaption to changing conditions as the climate changes. It encourages the early adoption of climate change measures, showing that rapid decarbonisation and improved resilience can be achieved while maintaining prosperity. The book takes a sector-by-sector approach, starting with energy and includes cities, industry, natural resources, and agriculture, enabling practitioners to focus on actions relevant to their field. It uses case studies across a range of countries, and various industries, to illustrate the opportunities available. Blending technological insights with economics and policy, the book presents the tools decision-makers need to achieve rapid decarbonisation, whilst unlocking and maintaining productivity, profit, and growth.
