Materials, Specification and Detailing
This volume of the Technologies of Architecture series provides a detailed and holistic description of the development process, illustrated with case studies. The author encourages students to become environmentally responsible designers.
Financial Accountability in Nepal
"Nepal has suffered from the lack of proper management of public expenditures, stagnant real revenues, large and inefficient parastatals, and a weak financial sector. Fiduciary risk remains high. His Majesty's Government of Nepal has accorded high priority to the assurance of good accountability and transparency in public sector financial management." "Reforms are now critical and should be approached in an integrated way covering planning, budgeting, accounting, internal control, internal audit, external audit, and oversight. Action in only one area of financial management will not result in the same degree of benefits. The capacity building recommended in this report's Development Action Plan is designed to introduce international accounting and auditing standards in both the public and the private sectors, and to close the gap between precept and practice. The Government has a firm commitment to implement these time-bound actions." --Résumé de l'éditeur.

History, Performance and Conservation
Ideal for students of architectural technology, this volume of the Technologies of Architecture series covers the technologies available and the processes necessary for the conservation of existing buildings and environments. This book provides, in a single text, the tools for students to be able to evaluate such buildings, as well as an extensive understanding of the mechanisms which cause their deterioration and knowledge of the technologies available to correct their status. The ever higher standards set for buildings, especially in energy conservation contexts, demand that practitioners appreciate how the performance of existing structures can be enhanced, which is also covered. Considering the work of conservation within a holistic perspective and historical context, this book is additionally invaluable for architecture and construction students.
A Handbook of Sustainable Building Design and Engineering
The combined challenges of health, comfort, climate change and energy security cross the boundaries of traditional building disciplines. This authoritative collection, focusing mostly on energy and ventilation, provides the current and next generation of building engineering professionals with what they need to work closely with many disciplines to meet these challenges. A Handbook of Sustainable Building Engineering covers: how to design, engineer and monitor a building in a manner that minimises the emissions of greenhouse gases; how to adapt the environment, fabric and services of existing and new buildings to climate change; how to improve the environment in and around buildings to provide better health, comfort, security and productivity; and provides crucial expertise on monitoring the performance of buildings once they are occupied. The authors explain the principles behind built environment engineering, and offer practical guidance through international case studies.

Integrity in Government through Records Management
As a celebration of Anne Thurston’s pioneering work on records and archives management as an essential basis for demonstrating integrity in government, this excellent volume brings together scholars and practicing archivists to discuss key issues around records as evidence for accountability, transparency and the protection of citizens’ rights. Never before have authors from the developing and developed worlds come together to explore the intersection of records management, public administration and international development. The book covers Thurston’s work, the importance of records management for effective governance and digital records management and preservation in developing countries. Case studies from across Africa enhance the theoretical and practical perspectives taken by the authors. This book is essential reading for scholars and students interested in records management and good governance around the world.
