Changing conditions in Higher Education and national funding regimes preceded a proliferation of construction projects in universities between 1996 and 2006. This book reviews a hundred projects between 1996 and 2006, and uses 9 detailed case studies from the author's time in charge of capital projects at the University of Cambridge to show us how these projects were conceived, argued for, designed, procured, managed, constructed, and passed on to building users. Readers with an interest in project management, estate management, University management, or the history of the University of Cambridge will find this fascinating and wide-ranging book to be uniquely valuable.

First published in 1964, The Kurdish War tells not only David Adamson’s 200-mile journey on foot and horseback through the rebel mountains of Iraq but also of the circuitous route through the Middle East the author had to take to get there. For possibly 4000 years the Kurds have lived in the mountains between the Tigris and Armenia, owing fitful allegiance to many empires among them those of the Turks, Arabs, Persians, and briefly the British. Revolts against their overlords have been haphazard, bloody, and ill-fated. The one which began in Iraq towards the end of 1961 looked as if it would fall into the usual pattern, but in fact it was the deciding factor among the several which led to the overthrow of the late General Kassem. In the summer of 1962 David Adamson was working in Paris for the Sunday Telegraph when he met Emir Bedir Khan, the doyen of the Kurdish nationalist movement. From that meeting sprang the discussion to try to enter the rebel held territory in the north-west of Iraq. In this book the author describes the leaders of the revolt and the aspirations, history, background of the Kurdish nationalists. This firsthand historical account is an essential read for scholars and researchers of Middle East history, Middle East studies, and history in general.

I am in chains, locked in a cell with only the light showing from one barred window. All at once the heavy door to my cell thrusts open, my master has brought two more specimens. They are tossed carelessly into my grasp, a man and woman naked, bruised bloodied scared. I strike the man nearly knocking the life out of him. I grasp the woman and threw her onto my bed, she looks horrified. I don't see her; I don't see the life she once had. I don't feel her pain, I don't sense her passion. I shove a strong sharp clawed hand into her chest. The light goes out of her eyes. I howl I pull from her chest her beating heart; it stops beating. I ripped it open that hurts me, I reach inside and fi x the mistake that was made, that's hurting me. I close the heart with needle and thread. That scares me. The sewing resembles writing. I thrust the heart back into her chest. I need a rib so I now kill the man for his rib to fix her chest and close it. I strike her chest, so the heart could start to beat again. I fell to the floor exhausted and await her life to return. Her eyes opened, that scares me. Then the light returns that scares her. She screams and jumps up. She doesn't see me and run to the window. I cannot reach my master made the chains too short. A beautiful bird sees her and she clings to it and lifts her to heaven.
