The history of modern liberalism has been hotly debated in contemporary politics and the academy. Here, Judith Stein uses the steel industry--long considered fundamental to the U.S. economy--to examine liberal policies and priorities after World War II. In a provocative revision of postwar American history, she argues that it was the primacy of foreign commitments and the outdated economic policies of the state, more than the nation's racial conflicts, that transformed American liberalism from the powerful progressivism of the New Deal to the feeble policies of the 1990s. Stein skillfully integrates a number of narratives usually treated in isolation--labor, civil rights, politics, business, and foreign policy--while underscoring the state's focus on the steel industry and its workers. By showing how those who intervened in the industry treated such economic issues as free trade and the globalization of steel production in isolation from the social issues of the day--most notably civil rights and the implementation of affirmative action--Stein advances a larger argument about postwar liberalism. Liberal attempts to address social inequalities without reference to the fundamental and changing workings of the economy, she says, have led to the foundering of the New Deal state. |Using the steel industry to examine liberal policies and priorities after World War II, Stein shows that economic policy--not racial conflict--led to the feeble liberalism of the 1990s.

This set of four volumes on the steel industry includes: the structure of the early iron industry; the development of mass steel production; technological developments; economic and political issues caused by world competition; and the steel industry as both a nationalized and privatized industry.

A fascinating history of a family firm and their predecessors the Townesends, who over 200 years have built a significant number of architecturally important buildings in and around Oxford. (BAR 254, 1997)

The creation of wealth depends on the capacity of economic actors to adapt to market changes. Such adaptation, in turn, poses fundamental questions about the distribution of resources. Daley investigates the interaction among business, labor, and the state in France in the second half of the twentieth century and reveals how political dynamics refract market pressures. He explains how and why profitability came at the expense of union mobilization, unemployment, and management autonomy, vast amounts of state aid, and less national control over industrial decision making.

The idea of a Channel Tunnel has always aroused strong emotions in Britain. It has been supported by those wanting closer political, economic and cultural links with Europe but opposed by believers in Britain's island identity and overseas empire. In contrast, the French have been almost unanimously in favour. Channel Tunnel Vision 1850-1950 is an account of attempts over a century to build a link with France. Early schemes, some owing more to Heath-Robinson than to sound engineering practice, were succeeded by serious proposals based on scientific surveys of the sea-bed carried out in the 1860s. After describing the major entrepreneurs and their plans, Keith Wilson goes on to show the reactions of successive British Governments. On several occasions the decision on whether or not to go ahead was a very close-run thing. He quotes the views, which make remarkable reading, of Prime Ministers from Gladstone to Ramsay MacDonald; of Foreign Secretaries including Grey and Curzon; and of admirals and generals ranging from Fisher to Wolseley, French and Henry Wilson. Their fears of sabotage, invasion and a future political rift with France were set against hopes of economic advantage. They also saw an enhanced ability to respond quickly to future German aggression. How the existence of a Channel Tunnel would have affected the 1940 campaign is an intriguing speculation.

This study of a specific industry's survival and growth in three countries is a useful resource for research on industrial development in 19th century Europe. Presenting the history of three major cutlery districts in Western Europe during the 19th century - Sheffield in England, Bergische land (Solingen and Remscheid) in Germany, and Eskilstuna in Sweden - the author focuses on each region's industrial development in relation to its socio-cultural context. This work challenges the flexible specialisation thesis often used to explain the seeming persistence of small-scale and decentralised production within the cutlery industry since the 19th century, and argues that growing businesses had to develop competitive strategies for control over important resources.

"It goes a long way in mapping out the agenda for health and safety professionals in this most dangerous and populous industry." Annals of Occupational Hygiene, Derby, United Kingdom Changes in working practices and conditions in the construction industry over the past decade have meant that the competent authorities, health and safety committees, management or employers' and workers' organizations, in particular, should take a fresh look at such aspects as the safety of workplaces, health hazards, and construction equipment and machinery. This code of practice takes account of new areas in the sector which require improved health and safety practices and other protective measures.

This classic account of the worker in the steel industry during the early years of the twentieth century combines the social investigator's mastery of facts with the vivid personal touch of the journalist. From its pages emerges a finely etched picture of how men lived and worked in steel. In 1907-1908, when John Fitch spent more than a year in Pittsburgh interviewing workers, steel was the master industry of the region. It employed almost 80,000 workers and virtually controlled social and civic life. Fitch observed steel workers on the job, and he describes succinctly the prevailing technology of iron and steelmaking: the blast furnace crews, the puddlers and rollers; the crucible, Bessemer, and open hearth processes. He examined the health problems and accidents which resulted from the pressure of long hours, hazardous machinery, and speed-ups in production. He also anaylzed the early experiments in welfare capitolism, such as accident prevention and compensation, and pensions. One of the six volumes in the famous Pittsburgh Survey (1909-1914), The Steel Workers remains a readable and timeless account of labor conditions in the early years of the steel industry. An introduction by the noted historian Roy Lubove places the book in political and historical context and makes it especially suitable for classroom use.

A consultant with McKinsey & Company surveys the international aluminum industry and asks why its various activities are divided among firms in the way that they are. These components include the minding of bauxite, its refining into alumina, aluminum smelting, fabrication, and manufacture of the final product. What is it about this industry that encourages joint ventures in some cases, long-term contracts in others, and vertical integration and merger in still others? The author identifies and analyzes the factors which motivate firms to adopt one or another of these patterns of doing business. He draws on and extends recent developments in theory relating to the operation of markets and organizations, and tests the power of theories to explain what is observed in the industry. He has assembled a great deal of empirical evidence, focusing on the United States, Japan, and Australia. The book should become the standard study of the aluminum industry.

The concept of a circular economy in the construction sector captures global material flow through product design, inverse logistics, innovation and collaborations. The circulation of the economy takes into consideration global population influence, which affects the economy through a variety of construction product flows in particular. The increase in consumers means increasing product and services which participate in different waste streams. The emerging sustainable development in the construction industry requires the recycling of waste materials to reduce the negative environmental impact of construction activities. Accumulation and management of construction wastes is also becoming a major environmental and economical concern in many developing countries. Huge volumes of waste generated end up piled on landfill sites or illegally dumped, posing serious health and ecological problems. In the construction industry, recycling of waste concrete, masonry, cement, gypsum, to mention but a few, has become an important aspect due to the continued increase of construction wastes and depletion of natural aggregates. Why not establish a business system that is specifically designed to do much more value addition to the construction wastes and develop products which are not only in demand locally but internationally, to encourage exports for maximum financial gain. This book aims to analyze the current business model in the construction sector and the current legislation concerning waste management. It also highlights efforts required in order to refine the recycling methods in favor of a circular economy in the constuction industry. In support of a transition to a low carbon economy, different types of materials which can be produced from the construction wastes are indicated including processes which are used to obtain the final products. The market demand including penetration of the resulting products are given extensively. Policies and regulations to govern these undertakings are highlighted also. The municipalities will learn to redirect the local construction industries on how to avoid dumping at landfill sites as the space has currently become an issue. Researchers globally will learn how to go up through the Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) from basic research through prototype development and finally up to commercialization in projects related to the construction.

When the world's two largest steel producers went head to head in a bitter struggle for market domination, an epic corporate battle ensued that sent shockwaves through the political corridors of Europe, overheated the world's financial markets and transformed the steel industry. Billions of dollars were at stake. At the heart of the battle were two men: Guy Dolle, Chairman and CEO of Luxembourg-based Arcelor, the world's largest steel producer by turnover and Lakshmi Mittal, a self-made Indian industrialist and the richest man in Great Britain. Only one could prevail . . .

Die Einfuhrung neuer Baumaterialien, ihre Kombination in der Verwendung sowie eine zeitlich gestraffte Ausfuhrung von Bauvorhaben haben dazu gefuhrt, dass viele der bisherigen Kenntnisse und Regeln der Bautechnik, die fur traditionelle Baustoffe (z.B. Ziegel, Holz, Eisen und Stahl, Beton) galten, nur noch bedingt richtig sind. Bauausfuhrende mussen sich immer schneller umstellen hinsichtlich der Auswahl und Anwendung von bekannten und neuen Baustoffen, Baustoffkombinationen und Konstruktionen. Kenntnisse der wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen sind deshalb besonders wichtig. Diese vermittelt Band 1 des vierbandigen Werkes Baustoffe fur tragende Bauteile. Einleitend geht der Autor auf die Auswahl der Baustoffe, die technischen Baubestimmungen, den Energiebedarf, die Beziehungen zu Umwelt und Gesundheit sowie auf Bauschaden ein. Anschliessend behandelt er die Masseinheiten, die chemischen Grundlagen, die Baustoffdichten und den inneren physikalischen Aufbau eines Stoffes. Danach folgen die Einflusse aus Belastung, Feuchte, Warme, Schall, Elektrizitat und Licht. Die Neuauflage berucksichtigt neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und hat besonders in den Abschnitten uber Gefugekenngroessen, elektrische, optische und Dauerhaftigkeitskenngroessen umfangreiche Erweiterungen erfahren. Neu sind die Abschnitte uber Baustoffchemie und Qualitatssicherung.

Dabei sind die EU-Bauprodukteverordnung (BauPVO), CE-Kennzeichnung und Leistungserklarung, das europaische Chemikalienrecht (REACH) und das System zur Kennzeichnung chemischer Produkte (GHS) berucksichtigt, soweit sie fur Dichtstoffe relevant sind.

Defective construction work, whether the result of inadequate design, faulty workmanship or poor materials - or some combination of these failings - is a frequent cause of legal disputes. Someone is usually to blame, either the builder or one or more of the professional consultants, or even the entire project team. It is important therefore that the project team should possess a good working knowledge of their responsibilities and liabilities.
Written by a solicitor with over twenty years of experience of building disputes, this book examines the responsibilities and liabilities of the project team when defects occur. It sets out the background role of the common law and statute and includes detailed discussion of important case law affecting the construction process from inception through to completion, together with a consideration of the impact of letters of intent, 'no contract' situations, and specific provisions of model conditions of contract.

Der Kostendruck zwingt auch in der Immobilienwirtschaft zu Uberlegungen, ob die eigenen Dienstleistungen weiterhin selbst oder besser in Kooperation mit anderen oder ganzlich von anderen kostengunstiger zu erbringen sind. Indem Strukturen und Funktionen verandert oder ausgelagert bzw. neue Einheiten gebildet werden, lassen sich Kostensenkungspotenziale und neue Geschaftsfelder erschliessen. Der Autorin gelingt es, dieses komplexe Entscheidungsfeld mit Beispielen aus der Immobilienwirtschaft praxisnah darzustellen, wobei die Aussagen auch auf andere Dienstleistungen ubertragbar sind."

Instandsetzungen, Modernisierungen und Umnutzungen von Bestandsgebauden machen einen grossen Anteil der Bauleistungen aus. Schadenfreies Bauen im Bestand ist ohne sachgerechte Beurteilung der Bausubstanz unmoeglich. Auch die Begutachtung von Neubauschaden setzt eine angemessene Bauanalyse voraus. Inzwischen sind fur viele Beurteilungsaufgaben zerstoerungsfreie Messmethoden verfugbar. Hierbei kommt es haufig zu Fehlanwendungen und Fehlinterpretationen. Im Fokus stehen die Praxistauglichkeit und der Aussagewert dieser Untersuchungsmethoden fur den alltaglichen Einsatz bei Abnahmen und Mangelbeurteilungen. Weiterhin werden Probleme typischer Modernisierungsaufgaben, wie der energetischen Ertuchtigung, der Aufstockung und Umnutzung sowie der Erneuerung haustechnischer Anlagen angesprochen, und auch rechtliche Aspekte des Bauens und Untersuchens im Bestand kommen zur Sprache.
