Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Bugis, who number about three million, live for the most part in the Indonesian province of South Sulawesi: they are among the most fascinating peoples of maritime Southeast Asia, and the least known. Their image in legend and modern fiction is of bold navigators, fierce pirates and cruel slave traders, but most are in fact farmers, planters and fishermen. Although they are an Islamic people, they maintain such pre-Islamic relics as transvestite pagan priests and shamans. Their colorful nobility claims descent from the ancient gods, yet owes its power to social consensus. This book is the first to describe the history of the Bugis. It ranges from their origins 40,000 years ago to the present and provides a complete picture of contemporary Bugis society. It is based on the author's extensive field research over the last 30 years, on oral tradition, written epics and chronicles, on travellers' tales from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, and on the latest research by Western and Asian scholars in the fields of archaeology, history, linguistics and anthropology. The author reveals the brilliance of Bugis civilization in all its exotic and extraordinary manifestations, and its survival through Dutch colonization, Japanese invasion and the incursions of modernity. This is a work of outstanding scholarship, interest and originality. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Much construction work is done by sub-contractors, particularly the so-called domestic sub-contractors, appointed by the main contractor. The former usually work under the standard sub-contract DOM/1 for use with JCT 80, or DOM/2 for use with JCT 81--where there is contract design. Unfortunately, many sub-contractors' rights are often abused because they have little or no understanding of their rights and obligations under the new contracts. Written by an experienced quantity surveyor, this new book provides a clause-by-clause summary of these important principles.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Business is increasingly interested in responding positively to environmental issues in the 1990s. The nature of this response deserves closer academic attention because it influences not only business operations, but also the wider context of policy, public opinion and environmental concern. Environmental Issues and Business details the dimensions of the business response to environmental issues by taking a critical social science perspective to this dynamic area. It catalogues the pressures upon business to take up environmental activities and then assesses those activities in terms of company culture, communication and influence on the environmental agenda. Using examples from the UK, the USA and Europe, the author examines the diversity of business activities and evaluates their impact according to policy developments and the restoration of public confidence. Environmental policy and auditing, environmental advertising and marketing and environmentally based communications illustrate how business has approached this difficult task. This milestone text provides essential reading for students and researchers of environmental and business studies.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An updated and fresh perspective of the subject based on the concepts that the thermodynamic properties of a system are independent whether composition is specified in terms of formal components or molecular species and that the laws of thermodynamics are independent of the observational time-scale. By applying these concepts, the author has derived approximately 20 general theorems concerned with the thermodynamic properties of molecular species and their relationships to those of the formal components. Grunwald defines molecular species to include all participants in reaction mechanisms. Proved theories are supplemented with verbal explanations and explicit examples. Applications chapters include environmental isomers in liquids and thermodynamic properties of water and aqueous systems. Extra thermodynamic chapters feature interionic attraction theory and structure-energy correlation. A much-needed expansion of traditional chemical thermodynamic concepts--essential reading for today's advanced students and research professionalsReflecting the current operational practice of chemistry, this unique book provides an important update of traditional chemical thermodynamics, especially the thermodynamics of liquid solutions. Using a flexible composition model that enumerates both the formal components of a system and the molecular species derived from them, Thermodynamics of Molecular Species introduces a set of general theorems and proofs that address a range of significant phenomena beyond the reach of traditional chemical thermodynamics, such as enthalpy-entropy compensation, molar shifts, and thermodynamic error tolerance. Dr. Grunwald's novel approach creates a natural framework for mechanistic studies of molecular phenomena, while at the same time avoiding some of the complexity of statistical thermodynamics. The book's features include:A broad definition of molecular species that includes all participants in reaction mechanisms: reactants, products, substrates, catalysts, reactive intermediates, and transition statesSolid experimental evidence supported by explicit examples across a breadth of areas--including solvation, water and aqueous solutions, environmental isomers, ions, and ion pairsThermodynamic aspects of interionic attraction theory and of structure-energy correlationsAlmost 100 figures and diagrams that express abstract and mathematical ideas in clear and concrete terms.…
