An essential guide to the structure, dynamics, and management of construction megaprojects

Advanced Construction Project Management is a comprehensive resource that covers the myriad aspects of implementing a megaproject from a contractor’s perspective. With many years’ experience of managing construction megaprojects, the author provides an in-depth exploration of the structure, dynamics and management of these demanding projects. In addition, the book gives all stakeholders a clear understanding of the complexity of megaprojects and offers contractors the insight and essential tools needed for achieving results.

As the trend to plan and implement ever-larger projects looks likely to continue into the future, the need for a guide to understand the challenges of managing a megaproject couldn’t be greater. Comprehensive in scope, the book explores the theoretical background, economics, complexity, phases, strategic planning, engineering, coordination, and common challenges of megaprojects. The book also provides the tools for managing stakeholder integration. This important book:

Written for managers, project managers and engineers, and cost consultants, Advanced Construction Project Management covers, in one complete volume, the information needed to lead a successful project.

Unique and comprehensive reference describing microeconomic approaches, theories, and models adapted to and developed for the construction industry

Construction Microeconomics provides comprehensive coverage of microeconomics applied to the construction industry, focusing on construction clients, who initiate construction projects, and on contractors who transform the ideas and plans of clients into infrastructure and buildings. With the help of microeconomic theory, it tries to answer questions about decision-making by clients, contractors, and governments with respect to projects in the built environment. It includes discussions of alternative theories to mainstream microeconomics, such as new institutional economics, behavioral economics, and the capability approach. Applications from the construction sector including land supply, sustainability, industrialization, and lean construction are provided to ground the theory in practical construction.

In Construction Microeconomics, readers will learn:

Advanced undergraduate and masters students, lecturers and academics in ­construction and related disciplines, and professionals in the construction industry looking for expert analysis into a unique facet of the field will find Construction Microeconomics to be a valuable, complete, and authoritative reference on the subject.

Aus Anlass seines 100-jährigen Bestehens richtete das Corpus Medicorum Graecorum / Latinorum eine internationale Fachtagung aus, dessen Beiträge dieser Band versammelt. Experten aus dem In- und Ausland führen u.a. die Bedeutung der antiken medizinischen Schriften vor Augen und machen die historischen Wurzeln der neuzeitlichen Medizin bewusst, auch im Hinblick auf aktuelle Fragestellungen wie Gesundheits- und Therapieforschung, ganzheitliche Medizin und medizinische Ethik.

Das Buch enthält in der Forschung weiterführende Beiträge einiger der besten internationalen Kenner der antiken Medizin: V. Boudon-Millot (Paris), Ch. Brockmann (Hamburg), Ph. van der Eijk (Berlin), K.-D. Fischer (Mainz), I. Garofalo (Siena), J. Jouanna (Paris), A. Lami (Pisa), V. Langholf (Hamburg), D. Manetti (Florenz), L. Perilli (Rom), A. Roselli (Neapel), A. Sideras (Göttingen), M. Witt (München).Fokussiert auf die Entwicklung der antiken Medizin von den Anfängen bis hin zur Spätantike, nehmen die Beiträge die Thematik aus philologischer, medizinhistorischer, sprachwissenschaftlicher, paläographischer, historischer Sicht in den Blick, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der wichtigsten Momente, d.h. Hippokrates und Galen, ohne jedoch die vielfältige und facettenreiche Geschichte der antiken Medizin und ihrer Rezeption insgesamt zu vernachlässigen. Das Buch ist zwei um die Erforschung der antiken Medizin hochverdienten, in Hamburg tätigen Wissenschaftlern auf dem Gebiet der philologischen Erschließung der antiken medizinischen Texte, A. Anastassiou und D. Irmer, gewidmet, die nach ihrer Pensionierung weiterhin wichtige Grundlagenarbeit leisten.
