Many construction conflicts and disputes are not limited to
particular jurisdictions or cultures, but are increasingly becoming
common across the industry worldwide. This book is an invaluable
guide to international construction law, written by a team of
experts and focusing on the following national systems: Australia,
Canada, China, England and Wales, Estonia, Hong Kong, Iraq,
Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Oman, Portugal,
Quebec, Romania, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the USA. The
book provides a consistent and rigorous analysis of each national
system as well as the necessary tools for managing conflict and
resolving disputes on construction projects.
To reflect the need for increasing expertise in a highly complex
legal arena, the Conseil International du Batiment pour la
Recherche L'Etude et la Documentation (CIB) inaugurated an
international task force, TG15, to study the area of construction
disputes around the world, which now has more than 120 members in
30 countries. Drawing from an international expert author based
from the CIB taskforce, and edited by coordinators of TG15, experts
representing both the legal and construction professions, this book
aims to provide a first reference for those considering, or
already, working in the international workplace. Each of the 25
national monographs report on construction dispute practice and
procedure according to a standard format, providing the reader with
the necessary tools for managing conflicts and resolving disputes
on construction projects in different countries.
This is a non-technical introduction to the main issues and findings in current brain research. It gives a sense of how neuroscience addresses questions about the relationship between the brain, and thought, memories, perceptions, and actions.
Why I Called My Sister Harry documents the life of Michael O'Shea,
a man who lived with a severe stammer/stutter for over 40 years.
The first part of the book is autobiographical, identifying the
trigger for his stammer and the subsequent consequences of living
with it from childhood, through adolescence and on into adulthood.
Michael O'Shea shares his life, experience and family in a deeply
moving account of what it is like to live in the debilitating
clutches of not being able to speak freely and fluently. It also
lets us see how it affects those in close contact with the
stammerer/stutterer. In this book we read about his persistent
quest to find a solution and the eventual triumph of recovery.
Although pain and hurt punctuate throughout, Michael's story is
uplifting, hopeful and joyous. It is about overcoming obstacles, no
matter how big, and achieving the life you want. Michael O'Shea has
not only recovered from stammering/stuttering but has gone on to
help countless others overcome this difficulty. His knowledge about
the subject and the recovery process is expansive and he lays it
out clearly and concisely in simple terms without any technical or
medical jargon or complicated processes. This man speaks from
experience, not theory, which inevitably produces an important,
easy to read, insight into this complex speech difficulty. At the
back of the book an invaluable Help section has been designed to
signpost areas where stammerers/stutterers, and parents, siblings,
teachers and friends of stammerers/stutterers can get help and find
ways to help. As Michael O'Shea was born in 1955 and grew up in
rural Ireland his story is also a wonderful social document on a
unique country that has changed much in the past 50 years.
