Barry's Construction Technology - Stephen Emmitt, Tony Bryan
Updated resource guiding readers through the analysis and choices required to ensure a building will perform as expected Robin Barry’s Construction of Buildings was first published in 1958 as a five-volume set and rapidly became a standard work on the subject.

The book challenges the reader to think about the consequences of making choices and decisions rather than relying on using what has been used before.

A Few Green Leaves - Barbara Pym
‘Barbara Pym is one of my most favourite novelists. Few other writers have given me more laughter and more pleasure’ - Jilly Cooper, author of The Rutshire Chronicles series‘I''m a huge fan of Barbara Pym’ - Richard Osman, author of The Thrusday Murder Club Barbara Pym was an incomparable chronicler of ordinary, quiet lives. With warmth, humour, precision and great vividness, she gave her best characters an independent life we recognize as totally familiar. In A Few Green Leaves, her last novel, her heroine is Emma Howick, anthropologist. Through her eyes Barbara Pym examines in her own ironic and individual style the quiet revolution in English village life, combining the rural settings of her earliest novels with the themes and characters of her later works. The result is a compelling portrait of a town that seems to be forgotten by time, but which is unmistakably affected by it.

Innovating Construction Law - Jim Mason
Innovating Construction Law: Towards the Digital Age takes a speculative look at current and emerging technologies and examines how legal practice in the construction industry can best engage with the landscape they represent. The book builds the case for a legal approach based on transparency, traceability and collaboration in order to seize the opportunities presented by technologies such as smart contracts, blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data and building information modelling. The benefits these initiatives bring to the construction sector have the potential to provide economic, societal and environmental benefits as well as reducing the incidence of disputes.The author uses a mixture of black letter law and socio-legal commentary to facilitate the discourse around procurement, law and technology. The sections of the book cover the AS IS position, the TO BE future position as predicted and the STEPS INBETWEEN, which can enable a real change in the industry. The rationale for this approach lies in ensuring that the developments are congruent with the existing frameworks provided by the law. The book proposes various steps that the industry should seriously consider taking from the current position to shape the future of the sector and ultimately create a better, more productive and sustainable ...

American Letters - Jackson Pollock
Jackson Pollock, the towering American artist who was to revolutionize twentieth-century art with his “dripping†painting technique, grew up between the late 1920s and the late 1940s, the youngest of five boys born in the American West. Though often apart, whether they were traveling for work or for studies, sons and parents kept in close touch through their regular exchange of letters. Their correspondence offers an invaluable insight into the formation of one of America’s most influential artists, but it also draws a unique portrait of America itself between two momentous events in its history: the Great Depression and World War II. These letters – many of which are published for the first time in this volume – show that the Pollock brothers took a keen and early interest in art and politics. Their interest in painting was stimulated in part by Thomas Hart Benton, then a teacher at the Art Students League in New York, whose passion and commitment was to influence them profoundly. Jackson followed his oldest brother Charles to New York to study with Benton. While Charles subscribed to many of his mentor’s left-wing beliefs and remained determined to bring art and social justice together, Jackson was ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Under Construction - Daniel Mains
Over the past decade, Ethiopia has had one of the world's fastest growing economies, largely due to its investments in infrastructure, and it is through building dams, roads, and other infrastructure that the Ethiopian state seeks to become a middle-income country by 2025. Yet most urban Ethiopians struggle to meet their daily needs and actively oppose a ruling party that they associate with corruption and mismanagement. In Under Construction Daniel Mains explores the intersection of development and governance by examining the conflicts surrounding the construction of specific infrastructural technologies: asphalt and cobblestone roads, motorcycle taxis, and hydroelectric dams. These projects serve as sites for nation building and the means for the state to assert its legitimacy. The construction process-as well as Ethiopians' experience of living with the disruption of construction zones-reveals the tension and conflict between the promise of progress and the possibility of failure. Mains demonstrates how infrastructures as both ethnographic sites and as a means of theorizing such concepts as progress, development, and the state offer a valuable contrast to accounts of African abjection and decline.

Ivan Meštrovi? (1883-1962) - Ondřej Vojtěchovský, Sandra Baborovská, Barbara Vujanovi?
Monografie, do které přispělo deset domácích i zahraničních autorů, odborníků v oblastech dějin umění a historie, se zabývá různými aspekty uměleckého i politického života chorvatského sochaře Ivana Meštrovi?e (1883-1962).Věnuje se kontextu vývoje sochařství v době Meštrovi?ova uměleckého zrání, zejména během jeho vídeňských studí a působení v Paříži pod vlivem Augusta Rodina. Pozornost také zaměřuje na politický rámec Meštrovi?ova díla, které formovalo vizuální formu nacionální a státní ideologie někdejší Jugoslávie. Objevné poznatky přinášejí kapitoly o Meštrovi?ových vazbách na české prostředí a o české reflexi Meštrovi?ova díla. Autoři shodně poukazují na Meštrovi?ovo úsilí vyjadřovat se skrze parciální národní či náboženské motivy k obecně lidským tématům a univerzálním humanistickým hodnotám. Zároveň představují Meštrovi?e jako mezinárodně vysoce úspěšného umělce bořícího bariéry mezi údajnými centry a periferiemi světového umění.Kniha je dosud nejrozsáhlejší odbornou publikací věnovanou tomuto významnému sochaři v českém jazyce. Přináší řadu dosud nepublikovaných zobrazení, zejména pak snímky Meštrovi?ových soch od českého fotografa Josefa Sudka. Všechny texty jsou paralelně v češtině a angličtině.Součástí knihy je taktéž životopisná chronologie, reprinty textů o Meštrovi?ovi od předních českých výtvarných kritiků první poloviny 20. století a výběrová bibliografie zaměřená na českou produkci o Meštrovi?ovi.
