Making Sense of Construction Improvement

Making Sense of Construction Improvement

By: Stuart Green

Making Sense of Construction Improvement provides a critical evaluation of the construction improvement debate from the end of the Second World War through to the modern era. The book offers unique insights into the way the UK construction sector is continuously shaped and re-shaped in accordance with changes in the prevailing political economy. This second edition brings the book up to date by including coverage of key trends from 2010–2023. The book has been substantially revised and reworked to include new material relating to the ‘age of austerity’ and the subsequent period of political uncertainty initiated by the Brexit referendum. Changes in the political economy are positioned alongside the rise of the sustainability agenda and the advent of ‘zero carbon’. Particular attention is paid to the ongoing skills crisis and the over-hyped advocacy of modern methods of construction (MMC) as the latest supposed panacea of industry improvement. Coverage includes the Farmer (2016) report Modernise or Die and the Construction Playbook (HM Government, 2020). However, perhaps the most important addition is a focus on the Grenfell Disaster (2017) and the subsequent revelations from the public enquiry. Further intermediate milestones include Building a Safer Future (Hackitt, 2018) and the Construction Sector Deal (HM Government, 2018). The emerging consensus points towards a systemic failure involving not only the construction sector but also the entire system of regulation and compliance. Tracing the failings back over time and scrutinising the role played by previous generations of policymakers, Stuart Green ultimately argues that Grenfell was a disaster entirely foretold. The insightful and critical analysis of the industry contained within these pages is essential and timely reading for anyone who wants to understand how the construction sector arrived at where it is today, and with that knowledge, give further thought to where it might go next.

The Heath Government 1970-74

A Reappraisal

By: Stuart Ball,A. Seldon

Only now is it possible to see Edward Heath's controversial administration (1970-1974) in balanced historical perspective - and increasingly it seems a turning-point for postwar Britain. This timely volume explores the agenda of the Heath government in all its aspects (including economy, industrial relations, social policy, immigration, Northern Ireland, British entry into Europe, and foreign relations), assesses how far it achieved its aims, and examines the response to them. The book is based upon much new research, including the archives of the Conservative Party and the TUC, and interviews with many of those involved at the heart of government. The result will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern British history, politics and government. Contributors include PAUL ARTHUR, LEWIS BASTON, VERNON BOGDANOR, ALEC CAIRNCROSS, CHRISTOPHER HILL, DENNIS KAVANAGH, ZIG LAYTON-HENRY, CHRISTOPHER LORD, RODNEY LOWE, JOHN RAMSDEN, ROBERT TAYLOR, KEVIN THEAKSTON, JOHN YOUNG.

The Unknown Universe

A New Exploration of Time, Space, and Modern Cosmology

By: Stuart Clark

The Unknown Universe

A New Exploration of Time, Space, and Modern Cosmology

By: Stuart Clark

A groundbreaking guide to the universe and how our latest deep-space discoveries are forcing us to revisit what we know—and what we don't. On March 21, 2013, the European Space Agency released a map of the afterglow of the Big Bang. Taking in 440 sextillion kilometres of space and 13.8 billion years of time, it is physically impossible to make a better map: we will never see the early universe in more detail. On the one hand, such a view is the apotheosis of modern cosmology, on the other, it threatens to undermine almost everything we hold cosmologically sacrosanct. The map contains anomalies that challenge our understanding of the universe. It will force us to revisit what is known and what is unknown, to construct a new model of our universe. This is the first book to address what will be an epoch-defining scientific paradigm shift. Stuart Clark will ask if Newton's famous laws of gravity need to be rewritten; if dark matter and dark energy are just celestial phantoms? Can we ever know what happened before the Big Bang? What’s at the bottom of a black hole? Are there universes beyond our own? Does time exist? Are the once immutable laws of physics changing?

Attack of the Flickering Skeletons

More Terrible Old Games You've Probably Never Heard Of

By: Stuart Ashen

Welcome to a world of games you never knew existed. You will probably wish you still didn’t. YouTube sensation Stuart Ashen is back with his second instalment of terrible old computer games you’ve probably never heard of... because what the world needs right now is to know exactly how bad Domain of the Undead for the Atari 8-bit computers was. Attack of the Flickering Skeletons is even bigger than the original Terrible Old Games You’ve Probably Never Heard Of – this second excavation of gaming’s buried past will not only unearth more appalling excuses for digital entertainment, but also feature guest contributors and several special interest chapters not based around single specific games. These are NOT the games you’ve heard of a million times in YouTube videos. This is a compilation of truly obscure and dreadful games. Dripping with wry humour and featuring the best, worst graphics from the games themselves, this book encapsulates the atrocities produced in the days of tight budgets and low quality controls. These are even more appalling games that leaked from the industry’s tear ducts, taken down from the dusty shelves of history by the man who has somehow made a living by sticking rubbish on a sofa and talking about it.

Procurement and Supply in Projects

Misunderstood and Under Researched

By: Douglas Macbeth,Terry Williams,Stuart Humby,Ken James

Procurement Management is one of the nine Knowledge Areas of the PMBOK&® Guide, but it is a relatively recent focus of academic study and in many business sectors the contribution of procurement is not fully realized or integrated into the strategic considerations of the business. Procurement and Supply in Projects: Misunderstood and Under-Researched examines this inconsistency.

Transnationalism and German-Language Literature in the Twenty-First Century

Transnationalism and German-Language Literature in the Twenty-First Century

By: Stuart Taberner

This book examines how German-language authors have intervened in contemporary debates on the obligation to extend hospitality to asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants; the terrorist threat post-9/11; globalisation and neo-liberalism; the opportunities and anxieties of intensified mobility across borders; and whether transnationalism necessarily implies the end of the nation state and the dawn of a new cosmopolitanism. The book proceeds through a series of close readings of key texts of the last twenty years, with an emphasis on the most recent works. Authors include Terézia Mora, Richard Wagner, Olga Grjasnowa, Marlene Streeruwitz, Vladimir Vertlib, Navid Kermani, Felicitas Hoppe, Daniel Kehlmann, Ilija Trojanow, Christian Kracht, and Christa Wolf, representing the diversity of contemporary German-language writing. Through a careful process of juxtaposition and differentiation, the individual chapters demonstrate that writers of both minority and nonminority backgrounds address transnationalism in ways that certainly vary but which also often overlap in surprising ways.

Cleaning Buildings

Legislation and Good Practice

By: Stuart Pryke

Cleaning buildings is an industrial process which should be handled by specialists. Often, though, general building operatives (and even householders) have attempted cleaning without understanding many of the health, safety and environmental implications. A lack of formal training arrangements has meant that many cleaning operations have not been adequately planned, and equipment, techniques, chemicals and materials have not been correctly used. Consequently, the safety of operatives and the proper care and stewardship of the environment has been jeopardised. This Digest sets out to provide building owners, contractors, operatives, building designers And local authorities, with basic advice on three important issues relevant to building cleaning (especially matters relating to health and safety): legislation, procedures and good practice, and discharging waste to the environment.

Cleaning Exterior Masonry

Pretreatment Assessment of a Stone Building

By: Stuart Pryke

When buildings become soiled and stained, owners, occupiers and managers must decide whether and how they should be cleaned. If they are heritage buildings - an expression embracing 'historic', which itself has many definitions - they will probably include brick or stone elevations in various states of repair superimposed by years (often decades) of soiling. This Information Paper describes the issues concerned with cleaning Stockport Town Hall in the north of England - a stone building, one of two buildings studied by the BRE for the likely effects, good and bad, of cleaning. (The other building, mainly of brick masonry, is covered by IP 10/99.) This paper is addressed to owners, building managers, architects, surveyors, and professionals with interest in the appearance of buildings and the impact of cleaning on the durability of the building fabric.
