LAW AND BUSINESS OF ENGINEERING AND CONTRACTING WITH NUMEROUS FORMS AND BLANKS FOR PRACTICAL USE -- PREFACE THE matter contained in this book is the result or elabora- tion of a series of lectures delivered to the engineering stu- dents of the University of Washington during several years past. The additional matter that has been added in the shape of forms of contracts, specifications, and blank business forms will be found of advantage to both the student and the prac- ticing engineer, and it is hoped that the entire work will be a valuable addition to the engineers library. It is sincerely hoped that the discussion of the relation between the engineer and contractor in Chapter I will result, in many cases, in a better feeling between the engineer and the contractor as they may come together on contract work. The writer has made it a lifelong study to further the good feeling that should exist between them, but must confess to having made so little progress as to despair of seeing a better condi- tion of affairs result. Yet the writer is convinced that by continually keeping at it, on the part of those having this matter at heart, much good will eventually come about. The subject of ordinary forms of contracts is one on which there has been much written, and is a subject on which the engineer should be well posted as to fundamentals. In addi- tion to reading the standard works on the subject of contracts, it is very easy for each engineer to get together such standard forms as are valuable and file them in shape for handy refer- ence. It is believed that the forms given herein will be found of much use to everyone as a basis for a larger collection. The subject of ordinaryspecifications, as treated in Chap- ter 111, is intended to serve as a discussion of the anatomical structure of ordinary specifications. No better specifications are to be found in the world than those in use by the great railroad systems of this country and practically all of those published by the engineering journals and kept on sale for general use are of the best of their respective kinds. Specifications of the War and Navy Departments, as dis- cussed in Chapter IV, are models of concise description of the work to which they refer, although it is best that the engineer should so carefully study the construction for which he is to let a contract that nothing is left to the judgment of the bidder, although this is not always possible...

'Nathan Law's agonising account of China's ruthless takeover of Hong Kong provides a terrible insight into Beijing's ambitions - the world needs to read this.' - Jon Snow 'In Freedom, Nathan Law paints a deeply personal portrait of sheer courage... An essential and timely read.' - Speaker Nancy Pelosi What does it mean to be truly free? And can any of us be free until all of us are? Nobel Peace Prize nominee Nathan Law has experienced first-hand the shocking speed with which our freedom can be taken away from us, as an elected politician arrested simply for speaking his mind. He remembers what it is like to lack freedom - and his father's precarious three-day escape from China in a small rowing boat. When authoritarianism makes gains around the world, demanding our silence as the price of doing business, it poses a challenge to democracy everywhere. In this passionate rallying cry, Law argues that we must defend our freedom now or face losing it for ever. 'Now we all need to stand firm to defend our freedoms, to ensure truth is not determined by dictators. We are born free and as equals. As long as we believe in that, no one can take it away from us.'
