Based on direct field experience, this title discusses the stages
in the development of local water supplies, from the initiation of
a programme through to the community management of a supply system.
The importance of involving all the members of a community in
decisions about water provision is emphasized, as is the need to
incorporate hygiene education from the outset. Many short
case-studies, drawn from the practical experience of the authors,
are used throughout the book to illustrate the application of a
partnership approach in practice.
This is a hugely successful practical handbook for all relief
workers involved in giving humanitarian assistance. It provides the
information needed to implement an effective engineering response
in the aftermath of an emergency. This second edition maintains the
practical content of the first but has been revised and updated to
reflect developments in humanitarian relief in recent years. The
combination of "hard" topics, such as water and sanitation, and
"soft" topics, such as managerial skills and personal
effectiveness, has been retained from the original edition and the
book expanded to include two new chapters on security and
telecommunications. The new second edition will be available both
as a paperback book, and a hardwearing field edition with pvc cover
and handy CD-ROM included for portability. "Engineering in
Emergencies" was developed in collaboration with the agency RedR -
Engineers for Disaster Relief

The BVR Legal and Court Case Yearbook 2014 is a must-have for
business valuation professionals and attorneys who want to stay
up-to-date on the most important legal issues confronting the
profession in a range of fields, including: marital disputes,
breach of contract actions, dissenting shareholder disputes, estate
state and gift tax cases, and bankruptcy litigation. Readers gain
insight into how debates over economic damages, goodwill,
M&A-related appraisals, discounts, and Daubert challenges
played out in court during the past year. The Yearbook does not
merely abstract the most critical court decisions, but it offers an
in-depth analysis of the approaches the parties and the courts took
to arrive at the decisions. Ninety digests show the reader some of
the best (and worst) practices that attorneys and experts used in
making their case in courts throughout the country. BVR's acclaimed
legal analysts continuously track published (and even unpublished)
decisions from all state and federal jurisdictions, including such
influential courts as the Delaware Court of Chancery and the United
States Tax Court. In addition to the digests, The Yearbook contains
a case summary table, as well as a listing by state/jurisdiction,
court, and case name, followed by a one-sentence description of the
key valuation issue of each case.
When Dawn finds a mysterious golden box covered in indecipherable
hieroglyphs on a daytrip to the tiny island of Hilbre, she thinks
it's a pretty trinket, an artefact from the island's smuggling
past, a good luck charm for her band's next gig. Little does she,
or anyone around her, suspect its power - no one, that is, except
Rob, her band mate, who has a nasty glint in his eye. But all is
not as it seems. For at that very moment warring alien forces are
frantically searching for the precious Nexus Facilitator and will
stop at nothing to retrieve it, and it just happens to be gold in
colour and engraved with detailed star maps.
