Students from all engineering disciplines, as well as professional
engineers, need to understand company finance in order to work
effectively within commercial organisations. Corporate finance is
therefore an essential aspect of the education of every engineer.
Written by an engineer, this innovative book provides a course in
company finance, illustrated with numerous case studies of
well-known engineering companies - including Rolls Royce, ICI,
British Aerospace, Ferranti, Ford, Glaxo, GEC, British Steel,
PowerGen and others. General principles are related to the affairs
of specific companies, thus giving an effective overview for the
busy engineer.

Ascribed to the Egyptian scholar Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (1445
1505), this medieval Arabic history was translated into English by
the orientalist James Reynolds (1805 66). An outstanding Islamic
polymath, al-Suyuti produced a large body of work in such fields as
grammar, rhetoric, theology, medicine and history. The present work
may have been compiled from his earlier General History and
Critical History of Traditions. It contains rich descriptions of
religious places and buildings in Jerusalem, including the Dome of
the Rock and the Mosque of Omar, and offers a historical account of
the city. First published in 1836 for the Oriental Translation Fund
of the Royal Asiatic Society, the translation was based on the text
of two Arabic manuscripts preserved in the British Museum.
Including a translator's preface and detailed exegetical notes,
this publication remains a rich source for the architectural and
topographical history of Jerusalem.
Robert Lepage/Ex Machina: Revolutions in Theatrical Space provides
an ideal introduction to one of our most innovative companies - and
a much-needed and timely reappraisal of Lepage's oeuvre.
International, interdisciplinary and intercultural to the core, Ex
Machina have negotiated some of the most complex creative and
cultural challenges of our time. This book maps the story of that
journey by analysing the full spectrum of their richly varied work.
Through a comprehensive historiography of productions since 1994,
Robert Lepage/Ex Machina offers a detailed picture of the
relationship between director and company, while connecting Ex
Machina to culturally specific features of Quebec, and its theatre.
This book reveals for the first time how overlooked aspects of
creativity and culture shaped the company's early work, while
installing a dynamic interplay between director and company that
would spark a unique and ongoing evolution of praxis. Central to
this re-evaluation of practice is the book's identification of an
architectural aesthetic at the heart of Ex Machina's work, an
aesthetic which provides its artistic and political centres of
gravity. Moreover, this architectural aesthetic powers the
emergence of concrete narrative as a new and distinctive mode of
theatrical storytelling - uniting story and space, body and
technology, content and form - and demanding that we discover the
politics of these performances in the energetic gestures of theatre
design, and space itself. Drawing on extensive interviews with
Lepage, Ex Machina personnel and collaborative partners, Robert
Lepage/Ex Machina calls upon us to revise both our creative and
critical perceptions of this vital and distinctive practice.
Nests, Eggs, and Incubation brings together a global team of
leading authorities to provide a comprehensive overview of the
fascinating and diverse field of avian reproduction. Starting with
a new assessment of the evolution of avian reproductive biology in
light of recent research, the book goes on to cover four broad
areas: the nest, the egg, incubation, and the study of avian
reproduction. New research on nest structures, egg traits, and life
history is incorporated, whilst contemporary methodologies such as
self-contained temperature probes and citizen science are also
discussed. Applied chapters describe how biological knowledge can
be applied to challenges such as urbanisation and climate change.
The book concludes by suggesting priorities for future research.
This book builds upon the foundations laid down by Charles
Deeming's 2002 work Avian Incubation (available for readers of this
book to access online for free), much of which remains relevant
today. Read in conjunction with this previous volume, it provides
an up-to-date and thorough review of egg biology, nest function,
and incubation behaviour, which will be an essential resource for
students of avian biology, as well as both professional and amateur
ornithologists working in the field of avian reproduction.
