There is growing interest in future scenario planning of the construction industry but a disconnect between thinking about the future at the policy-making level and implementing real change. Constructing Futures: industry leaders and futures thinking in construction takes a thematic approach to the future of the UK construction industry by presenting the results of a series of in-depth interviews conducted with leading construction figures and structuring this material into chapters addressing the key contemporary issues in the industry. These high-profile figures are drawn from a wide range of stakeholder groups representing the realities of construction, including architects, client organisations (public-sector and private-sector), consultants, contractors, developers, lobby groups with special interests, policy makers, professional institutions, and trade unions. A total of 15 influential figures were interviewed for the book, from Sir Michael Latham and Bob White to Wayne Hemmingway and Kevin McCloud. Part One looks to the past by reviewing a series of foresight studies undertaken of the construction industry and re-presenting stories of our interviewees' lives to explain the development of leadership in the context of the construction industry. In Part Two, the authors look at the present and discuss two fundamental issues: sustainable development and governance of the construction industry. In Part Three the book concludes with an afterthought for the future, highlighting key lessons learnt putting forward a series of research questions derived from this scholarly reflection of 'futures thinking' in construction. Throughout, the authors juxtapose the views of the 15 influential figures interviewed with a review of the salient points found in the relevant and authoritative sources of theoretical literature, both in the mainstream literature and the field of construction management. This allows the reader to benefit from the practical insights of those interviews whilst gaining a rapid understanding of the key debates of the theoretical subject under scrutiny.

Fish and seafood are highly perishable, and must be preserved immediately after being caught or harvested. It is very important both to preserving its quality and to ensure that it does not pose any risks to human health upon consumption. Chilling, refrigeration and freezing are the major preservation methods used with seafood and fish products, all three processes aiming to preserve the freshness and flavour of the fish. Consumer demand for fish remains high despite escalating prices in the last ten years which have seen the retail cost of the most popular breeds (cod, haddock, salmon) more than double for unfrozen fish. Many consumers appear to be willing to pay a premium for freshness and quality, both of which are closely linked in shoppers’ minds with the efficient chilling and refrigeration of the fish along the supply chain. At the same time, frozen fish and seafood has also grown more popular with shoppers, as a cheaper, more convenient alternative to refrigerated fresh fish and seafood. Seafood Chilling, Refrigeration and Freezing presents the science behind the chilling, refrigerating and freezing of fish and seafood, describing the chemical, microbiological and physical changes which take place during preservation, and considering the new technologies which can be used, highlighting their benefits and their economic implications. The book takes account of the different requirements for different breeds of fish and seafood, and includes both traditional and novel technologies, providing both current and future perspectives. It will be required reading for food scientists, fish processors and retailers as well as fish specialists, researchers and process designers.

Zunachst stehen bei der Havarie technischer Systeme die Fragen nach Sicherheit und Kosten im Vordergrund. Aber erst durch die systematische Analyse der schadensauslosenden Mechanismen bekommt man den Schlussel zur nachhaltigen Prophylaxe in die Hand. Das defekte Bauteil ist der «Datentrager» fur den Werkstoff und seinen Zustand sowie fur die Beanspruchungen, die er erfahren hat und fur den Mechanismus seines Versagens. Die Untersuchungsmethoden der Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik sind in der Lage, diese Informationen zu entschlusseln. Durch einen Ist/Soll-Vergleich lasst sich der Schadensausloser dingfest machen. Das vorliegende Buch ist aus einem gleichnamigen Seminar hervorgegangen. Dieses Seminar hat in mehr als 30 Jahren gezeigt, dass Schadensfalle in uberwiegender Zahl auf Zuwiderhandeln gegen bekannte Regeln der Technik beruhen. Daher liegt der Fokus dieses Nachschlagewerks auf der systematischen Gliederung des Fachgebietes und der anschaulichen Erklarung der Schadensmechanismen in der Theorie sowie durch die praktische Darstellung realer Schadensfalle. Diese Kenntnisse sind fur Konstrukteure und Produktionstechniker ebenso von Interesse wie fur Qualitats- und Schadensanalytiker.
