In today’s world, the need for effective crisis management extends far beyond traditional emergency response personnel. With an increasing number of people facing high-stakes decisions under pressure, the demand for agile resilient and critical thinking problem-solvers is higher than ever. The aging demographic in emergency services and the high turnover due to burnout makes it challenging to build expertise through experience alone. This book addresses these issues, providing a knowledge base to help individuals and teams operate effectively in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments.This comprehensive guide covers a range of topics essential for navigating and leading in crises. It offers insights into the trends contributing to today’s turbulent landscape and provides strategies for resilient and agile problem-solving. Readers will learn how to lead teams in uncertain conditions, mobilize and manage resources effectively, and enhance coordination among multiple organizations. By using a framework to explore the challenges for the self; the social context and the problem-solving situation, the authors present a series of practical tools to help practitioners navigate through volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity to guide action. It will equip any reader with the skill set to confidently tackle incidents, disasters, and crises in whatever setting they find themselves in.Decision Making Under Pressure: A Crisis Management Sourcebook for Practitioners is an ideal read for practitioners, educators, scholars, and students looking to enhance their decision-making and leadership skills in high-pressure situations, especially those in occupational health and safety, risk management and organizational resilience, ergonomics and human factors, emergency management, crisis leadership, and professional development. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

This book presents a guide to the core features of Java – and some more recent innovations – enabling the reader to build skills and confidence though tried-and-trusted stages, supported by exercises that reinforce key learning points. All of the most useful and commonly applied Java syntax and libraries are introduced, along with many example programs that can provide the basis for more substantial applications. Use of the Eclipse IDE and the JUnit testing framework is integral to the book, ensuring maximum productivity and code quality, although to ensure that skills are not confined to one environment the fundamentals of the Java compiler and run time are also explained. Additionally, coverage of the Ant tool will equip the reader with the skills to automatically build, test and deploy applications independent of an IDE. Features: presents information on Java 7; contains numerous code examples and exercises; provides source code, self-test questions and PowerPoint slides at an associated website. - Häftad, Engelska, 2017

Social research practitioners and others working in the public and voluntary sectors, in academia and consultancy are increasingly under pressure to provide policy-related evidence with limited resources and rising expectations. Demystifying evaluation is an accessible introductory guide setting the foundations for tackling those challenges, explaining the options open to evaluators, their merits and uses, and how to make appropriate choices of research methods. Drawing on his experience of policy and programme evaluations for the public sector and outside, David Parsons provides a practical roadmap cutting across different evaluation theories. He covers issues such as managing expectations of evaluation, using and mixing quantitative and qualitative methods, engaging stakeholders and providing action-orientated approaches to help end-users. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

All Saints’ Church, Brixworth lies 7 miles north of Northampton. The core of the church is Anglo-Saxon and the research published here provides an unprecedented account of one of the most important buildings of its period surviving in England. The building of the main body of the church was towards the end of the 8th century, with a western tower, stair turret and polygonal apse added before the end of the 9th. Major modifications were made during the early and later medieval periods. From the early 19th century the church attracted much antiquarian interest, especially by topographical draughtsmen, whose drawings are crucial to its understanding before major restoration. Reverend Charles Frederick Watkins (Vicar, 1832–1871) made a particular study of the church fabric and identified both surviving and demolished Anglo-Saxon structures. Restoration under his direction reversed most of the medieval changes he recognised within the standing fabric, leaving the church with much the same appearance as it has today. The Brixworth Archaeological Research Committee, founded in 1972, embarked on an in-depth archaeological and historical study of All Saints’. Limited excavation revealed evidence for the former extent of the cemetery and examined remains of the early structures to the north of the church, including one whose foundations cut a ditch containing 8th-century material. The later 8th-century date for the foundation of the church was confirmed by radiocarbon dates from charcoal extracted from construction mortar in the church fabric. A complete stone-by-stone survey of the standing fabric, accompanied by petrological identifications, has led to a refined appraisal of the construction sequence and the identification of ‘exotic’ stone types and Roman bricks reused from earlier buildings up to 40 km distant. The archaeological, geological and laboratory findings presented here have been amplified by contextual studies placing the church against its archaeological, architectural, liturgical and historical background, with detailed comparisons with standing and excavated buildings of similar age in north Europe and Italy. - Häftad, Engelska, 2008
