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
Contested Mountains is an historical study of the extraordinary
changes in attitudes to Nature and the use of land in the
Cairngorms region since 1880. The study looks at early visitor
perceptions of the region and the history of rights of way disputes
in the area. It also presents an environmental history of the
osprey in Scotland, and the history and development of Glenmore
National Forest Park, the Aviemore tourist industry, the Cairngorms
National Nature Reserve and the Cairngorms National Park ideal.
Contested Mountains is essential reading for anyone interested in
the historical background to present-day debates about land-use and
access in the Cairngorms.
