The purpose of this book is to help employers and their advisers (especially their Quantity Surveyors) in drawing up all the contracts required on a normal UK building project.

An employer embarking upon a building project will inevitably have to enter into a number of complex contracts. There are published institutional standard forms for these purposes, but usually they will need to be amended in one way or another. The aim of this book is to help employers and their advisers (especially their Quantity Surveyors) in drawing up all the contracts required on a normal UK building project. The forms included in this book are a co-ordinated attack upon the task of legal documentation for building projects, and they are based upon, and incorporate by reference, the relevant published standard forms. The emphasis throughout is upon practicality. The forms are intended to achieve a good and reasonable deal for the employer, not a theoretical perfection which would be unachievable and non-negotiable in practice. This book should be of interest to quantity surveyors; construction managers; and solicitors specializing in construction law.

Exploring the Buddhist/Taoist concept of non-doing and intention in relation to bodywork, this book focuses on how the therapist should approach their client without agenda and meet them where they are at. This requires the therapist to pay attention to their own surfacing intentions and leave assumptions behind so they may focus on simply 'being', which is a profoundly active, non-reactive expression of presence, rather than a passive state of resignation. The ramifications of sub-conscious doing and wilful intention can negatively impact expressions of health and so the author explains how therapists may skilfully navigate between intention, attention and embodied non-doing whilst treating clients, and how this creates the foundations for safe relational touch.
