Practical risk management in the construction industry

Practical risk management in the construction industry

Leslie Edwards

Thomas Telford Ltd
1995
nidottu
Until now there has been little information available to engineers to help them assimilate quickly the basic theories and practice of risk management; nor has information been widely available on the risk assessments actually produced and the risk management undertaken by those working in the construction industry . Previous books and articles on risk management have been either academic works with little practical civil engineering content or highly detailed reports which focus on specialised applications. Practical Risk Management in the Construction Industry provides engineers with an easily understandable overview of the risk management procedures that are applicable generally to commercial organizations, the risks that might arise particularly in construction and, by the use of practical examples, how those risks can be managed.

Kohima: The Furthest Battle

Kohima: The Furthest Battle

By the end of 1943 the Japanese had occupied most of South-East Asia. On 6 March 1944, the first units of the Japanese 15 Army crossed the inhospitable border of what was then Burma, and invaded India. At the township of Kohima they were met by a small, hastily assembled force of Indian and British troops, later reinforced by 2 Division of Slim's 14 Army, who fought valiantly and forced the Japanese to retreat.Described by Mountbatten as 'the British/Indian Thermopylae', Kohima was a turning point in Japanese fortunes, heralding their continued defeat in battle until their formal surrender on 2 September 1945. Using extensive research in primary sources and many previously unpublished first-hand accounts, Leslie Edwards presents a definitive analysis of this pivotal battle.

2018 Nebraska Book Award The state of Nebraska has a rich and varied culture, from the eastern metropolitan cities of Omaha and Lincoln to the ranches of the western Sand Hills. The first atlas of Nebraska published in over thirty years, this collection chronicles the history of the state with more than three hundred original, full-color maps accompanied by extended explanatory text. Far more than simply the geography of Nebraska, this atlas explores a myriad of subjects from Native Americans to settlement patterns, agricultural ventures to employment, and voting records to crime rates. These detailed and beautifully designed maps convey the significance of the state, capturing the essence of its people and land. This volume promises to be an essential reference tool to enjoy for many years to come.

Why Edward Morley Didn't Win the Nobel Prize in Physics

Why Edward Morley Didn't Win the Nobel Prize in Physics

Leslie Hardison

Authors' Tranquility Press
2024
pokkari
In 1887, two scientists met to discuss an experiment aiming to measure the motion of the "ether," a substance presumed to exist everywhere in space. Their result suggested the velocity of the "ether" was zero, sparking debates in the scientific community. Albert Michelson, a renowned physicist, believed the experiment failed to measure correctly, as he firmly held that the velocity of light through ether was constant. On the other hand, Edward Morley, a Professor of Chemistry, maintained that the experiment was meticulously conducted and the results accurate. The scientific community proposed various interpretations, including experimental error or the non-existence of the ether. Despite the unexpected outcome, the findings were published, influencing the work of other physicists. Michelson continued his research until his passing in 1931, while Morley persisted in refining the experiment, eventually concluding that the speed of light was infinite. Morley's contributions, although significant, were often overshadowed, as he focused on scientific rigor rather than seeking recognition.
