This volume aims to provide the reader with a broad cross-section of empirical research being carried out into engineers at work. The chapters provide pointers to other relevant studies over recent decades – an important aspect, we believe, because this area has only recently begun to coalesce as a field of study and up to now relevant empirical research has tended to be published across a range of academic disciplines. This lack of readily available literature might explain why contemporary notions of engineering have drifted far from the realities of practice and are in urgent need of revision.The principal focus is on what empirical studies tell us about the social and technical aspects of engineering practice and the mutual interaction between the two. After a foreword by Gary Lee Downey, the research presented by the various chapter authors is based on empirical data from studies of engineers working in a variety of global settings that include Australia, Ireland, Portugal, South Asia, Switzerland, the UK and the USThe following groups of readers are addressed:•researchers and students with an interest in engineering practice,•professional engineers, particularly those interested in research on engineering practice,•engineering educators, •people who employ, recruit or work with engineers.Providing a much clearer picture of engineering practice and its variations than has been available until now, the book is of interest to engineers and those who work with them. At the same time it provides invaluable resource material for educators who are aiming for more authentic learning experiences in their classrooms.Further information, visit the website Engineering Practice in a Global Context Online: http://epr.ist.utl.pt/EPGC/

Drawing on a wide range documentary and oral sources, including interviews with refugees, this book explores the responses in Manchester to those threatened by the rise of Fascism in Europe. By exploring the responses of particular segments of Manchester society, from Jewish communal organisations and the Zionist movement to the Christian churches, pacifist organisations and private charities, it offers a critical analysis of the factors which facilitated and limited the work of rescue and their effect on the lives of the seven or eight thousand refugees - Spanish, Italian, German, Austrian and Czech - who arrived in Manchester between 1933 and 1940.

This is the story of Champion Golfer Allan Robertson (1815-1859).Until now, Robertson’s role had been as a member of the supporting cast in the story of leading light Tom Morris. Between 1840 and 1859 the reality was Robertson shared centre stage. This biography puts Robertson in the spotlight and charts one of golf history’s great characters and most talented players. The press hailed Robertson as the King of Clubs and the King of Golf, such was his talent and success. Off the course, he worked closely with his second cousin Tom Morris after inviting him to join the business of producing featheries in the golf parlour in Sandyhill. The pair were also formidable playing partners, the invincibles. When the guttie ball arrived in the 1840s, Robertson thought his heritage and business was about to be ruined – and when Morris played with one, it was a betrayal that led to a temporary parting of ways.They reunited to once again thrill crowds and dominate the sport, but in 1859, aged only 43 and at his sporting peak, Robertson died of jaundice. It was said to be the largest funeral ever seen in St Andrews. With new material about Robertson’s life, set against to the backdrop of an ever-evolving St Andrews, Royal and Ancient club and the links, this biography brings this engrossing life story to light.He was to many who saw him play, the best golfer in the world and the true King of Clubs.
