Pavement Asset Management
Comprehensive and practical, Pavement Asset Management provides an essential resource for educators, students and those in public agencies and consultancies who are directly responsible for managing road and airport pavements. The book is comprehensive in the integration of activities that go into having safe and cost-effective pavements using the best technologies and management processes available. This is accomplished in seven major parts, and 42 component chapters, ranging from the evolution of pavement management to date requirements to determining needs and priority programming of rehabilitation and maintenance, followed by structural design and economic analysis, implementation of pavement management systems, basic features of working systems and finally by a part on looking ahead. The most current methodologies and practical applications of managing pavements are described in this one-of-a-kind book. Real world up-to-date examples are provided, as well as an extensive list of references for each part.
Portrait of a Public Servant
This book is the personal memoir of G.A. (Gerry) Thompson. It traces his early life and outlines his career in civil engineering, urban planning and public administration, through various and progressively more responsible positions with the Ontario Government and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, where as Chief Administrative Officer, he was awarded the Ontario Lt. Governor's Medal of Distinction for Excellence in Public Administration. The book also describes assignments in Kenya and the Middle East. Gerry's substantial ongoing involvement in Academia and a record of making things happen, culminated in his appointment as an Associate Vice President of the University of Waterloo. Gerry has been sought out as a speaker, commentator and board member. Gerry's extensive community involvement, together with life and career experiences, have prompted reflections on Canada, faith and life's lessons.

Operator's Guide to General Purpose Steam Turbines
When installed and operated properly, general purpose steam turbines are reliable and tend to be forgotten, i.e., out of sound and out of mind. But, they can be sleeping giants that can result in major headaches if ignored. Three real steam turbine undesirable consequences that immediately come to mind are: Injury and secondary damage due to an overspeed failure. An overspeed failure on a big steam or gas turbine is one of the most frightening of industrial accidents. The high cost of an extensive overhaul due to an undetected component failure. A major steam turbine repair can cost ten or more times that of a garden variety centrifugal pump repair. Costly production loses due an extended ou...
