Building Maintenance

By: Brian J.B. Wood

Maintaining a building is expensive: it costs many times more to run a building than to build it, yet maintenance is often accorded a low priority. Building Maintenance covers the technical aspects of maintenance for undergraduate students on built environment courses, particularly building surveying and facilities management. It addresses the major questions regarding maintenance activities and shows that maintenance should be considered seriously at the design stage. Extensive case studies illustrate what can go wrong, how to put matters right and how to get it right first time.

The Elgar Companion to Recent Economic Methodology

By: J. B. Davis

Economic methodology has traditionally been associated with logical positivism in the vein of Milton Friedman, Karl Popper, Imre Lakatos and Thomas Kuhn. However, the emergence and proliferation of new research programs in economics have stimulated many novel developments in economic methodology. This impressive Companion critically examines these advances in methodological thinking, particularly those that are associated with the new research programs which challenge standard economic methodology. Bringing together a collection of leading contributors to this new methodological thinking, the authors explain how it differs from the past and point towards further concerns and future issues. The recent research programs explored include behavioral and experimental economics, neuroeconomics, new welfare theory, happiness and subjective well-being research, geographical economics, complexity and computational economics, agent-based modeling, evolutionary thinking, macroeconomics and Keynesianism after the crisis, and new thinking about the status of the economics profession and the role of the media in economics. This important compendium will prove invaluable for researchers and postgraduate students of economic methodology and the philosophy of economics. Practitioners in the vanguard of new economic thinking will also find plenty of useful information in this path-breaking book.

Problems of an Urban Society

Problems of an Urban Society

The Social Framework of Planning

By: J.B. Cullingworth

This book provides a wide-ranging review of urban problems and constitutes a major contribution to the mounting public debate that these problems are attracting. Many of the problems - of social and economic decay - are not new; indeed they are perennial problems of urban societies. As the complexities and interdependencies of modern life have increased, so has the resolve to combat the environmental and social ills to which these give rise. The particular focus of this volume is on the 'framework' of urban problems - the changing demographic, social and economic structure, the shortage of land and the transport needs of a highly complex industrial society. A mass of facts and figures are neatly and succinctly marshalled to provide a clear picture of the problems. Stress is laid on the essentially political nature of these problems and the alternative solutions. In essence, urban problems are problems of social injustice, of disadvantage and of lack of power. This book was first published in 1973.

Normative Economics

An Introduction to Microeconomic Theory and Radical Critiques

By: Frank J. B. Stilwell

Normative Economics: An Introduction to Microeconomic Theory and Radical Critiques seeks to overcome the problem of taking an orthodox approach in economics introducing it in a critical way. The book covers social objectives and functions of economics; the development of a theory of commodity distribution and exchange; the determinating factors of different production techniques; the identification and determination of the combination of goods; the effects of locations and places on microeconomics; and the effects of time on microeconomics. Also discussed in the book are the implications of public policy; neo-classical economics; and other economic structures. The text is recommended not only for students of microeconomics, but also for economists and financial analysts, as it offers a different and refreshing approach to the subject.

A Critical Evaluation of the Chicago School of Antitrust Analysis

A Critical Evaluation of the Chicago School of Antitrust Analysis

By: I. Schmidt,J.B. Rittaler

The publication of this clinically analytical and trenchantly insightful volume is felicitously timed. By fortuitous coincidence, it comes at a time when the Chicago School enjoys a high-water mark of acceptance in U.S. legal circles, and at a time when the U.S. merger movement of the 1980s is cresting. It provides a welcome warning against the dangers of translating abstract theories, based on highly restrictive (and unrealistic) assumptions, into facile public policy recommendations. As such the Schmidt/Rittaler study serves as a needed antidote to the currently fashionable predilection to confuse ideology with science. In the Chicago lexicon, the only appropriate policy toward business is a policy of untrammeled laissez-faire. Because there are no market imperfec tions (other than government-created or trade-union-generated monopolies), the market can be trusted to regulate economic activity, inexorably meting out appropriate rewards and punishments. In this ideal world, corporate size and power can be safely ignored. After all, corporations become big only only because they are efficient, only because they are productive, only because they have served consumers better than their rivals, and only because no newcomers are good enough to challenge their dominance. Once an industrial giant becomes lethargic and no longer bestows its productive beneficence on society, it will inevitably wither and eventually die. This is the "natural law" that governs economic life. It demands obedience to its rules. It tolerates no interference by the state.

Interpreting Data

A First Course in Statistics

By: Alan J. B. Anderson

A grasp of the ways in which data can be collected, summarised and critically appraised is fundamental to application of the commonly used inferential techniques of statistics. By reviewing the criteria for the design of questionnaires, planned experiments and surveys so as to minimise bias and by considering research methodology in general, this book clarifies the basic requirements of data collection. This introduction to statistics emphasizes the importance of data - its collection, summary and appraisal - in the application of statistical techniques. This book will be invaluable to first- year students in statistics as well as to students from other disciplines on courses with a 'statistics module'. Non-numerated postgradates embarking on research will also find much of the content useful.

An Optimization Primer

By: Johannes O. Royset,Roger J-B Wets

This richly illustrated book introduces the subject of optimization to a broad audience with a balanced treatment of theory, models and algorithms. Through numerous examples from statistical learning, operations research, engineering, finance and economics, the text explains how to formulate and justify models while accounting for real-world considerations such as data uncertainty. It goes beyond the classical topics of linear, nonlinear and convex programming and deals with nonconvex and nonsmooth problems as well as games, generalized equations and stochastic optimization. The book teaches theoretical aspects in the context of concrete problems, which makes it an accessible onramp to variational analysis, integral functions and approximation theory. More than 100 exercises and 200 fully developed examples illustrate the application of the concepts. Readers should have some foundation in differential calculus and linear algebra. Exposure to real analysis would be helpful but is not prerequisite.

If but One Wish

By: Bonita J. B. Sallis

“If only”, the sad refrain, so familiar, yet seemingly so limited, takes each character to the edge of their own personal cliffs. Regardless of the road taken, invariably, all roads lead to Destiny. No matter how far flung we find ourselves in life, the Force that Governs tomorrow, is never, ever, very far away. Faith, Choice and Fate ever surround us, so that Destiny can take center stage. Will loves Rain. Rain loves Ian. Ian loves another woman. Three lives, three loves and so three families are caught up in this tempest. The name of Love can offer many faces. True Love has only one face. Will, Rain and Ian all want to see their own dreams fulfilled. But Desperation, Infidelity, and Karma entangle all of them, turning their lives upside down. Be mindful of how you choose to tread in this lifetime. The Law of Sowing and Reaping is absolute. Forgiveness becomes the Master Key to still this storm, and could mean the difference between life or death of an innocent child.

The Reconstruction of World Trade

A Survey of International Economic Relations

By: J. B. Condliffe

First published in 1941, The Reconstruction of World Trade analyses the collapse of the international trading model after the First World War; the challenges presented by totalitarian methods of bilateral trade, and the problems anticipated in the attempt to reconstruct world trade after the end of the Second World War. The author studies national economic policies of several countries to argue that while economic problems are not contained with national borders, these still are an outcome of conflicting national economic policies. This book will be of interest to students of history, political science and economy.
