Ronald I.C. Bartsch
No other eld of human endeavour is so directly and intrinsically dependent upon the international context than is the case with aviation. This book explains, in a digestible yet articulate style, the basis and structure of the law as it applies to the modern world of aviation.

More importantly, a good understanding of aviation law could help avert a major disaster for the Company. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has any involvement in the aviation industry.

Writing Human Factors Research Papers


A Guidebook
Don Harris, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China and Leicester University, UK
The most difcult challenge facing early career researchers is making the transition from researcher to published researcher. In what I can honestly say is one of the most useful books I have ever read, Don Harris provides detailed step-by-step guidance for researchers wishing to publish their work in peer-reviewed academic journals. Just about everything budding authors need to know is covered, ranging from impact factors and citation rates to specic guidance on structure, writing style, and responding to reviewers comments. With the threat to publish or perish looming as large as ever, this book makes a timely and essential addition to the Human Factors catalogue. Written in Dons own unique style, it is a joy to read, and is a must have for students, early career researchers, and even experienced academics wishing to enhance academic outputs. Buy it now and become prolicyou will thank Don later. Paul Salmon, Monash University, Australia It is one thing to write a good scientic paper; it is quite another thing to get it published. Don Harris draws upon nearly a quarter of a century of experience as an author and reviewer of research papers, and ultimately as a journal editor. By his own admission, it contains all the things he wished that his mentors had told him 25 years ago, but did not. The material in the book is drawn from many years of nding all these things out for himself.

Business, Management and Training

Business Architecture
A Practical Guide
Jonathan Whelan and Graham Meaden
Business Architecture is very challenging to do and even harder to describe, being inherently multi-dimensional in nature. The authors of this book have done well to distil their considerable experience into a handbook that provides valuable advice to help organisations develop their capability in managing business change. Sally Bean, Enterprise Architecture Consultant Organizations today exist in an environment of unprecedented change. They do so against a backdrop of a global, competitive marketplace, the fast-paced enablement of technology, amplied regulation and accelerating organizational complexity. Many organizations are addressing change in a sub-optimal way and they are operating without a clear view of where their operational risks lie. It is these dynamics that are leading organizations to recognise and embrace Business Architecture. With these challenges in mind, this book provides a practical guide on how to employ Business Architecture and how to build a balanced proposition that delivers value to a broad range of stakeholders. Whilst recognizing best-practice, this book explores a new, inspirational level of Business Architecture whilst acknowledging that the best way to realize the vision is one step at a time.

Practical Wisdom is slowly becoming one of the more important issues in contemporary management thinking and this excellent new book is an ideal introduction to the topic. Covering all of the many facets and dimensions of this type of wisdom, it has the merits of being very clearly written and exceptionally well researched. I cannot imagine anyone not intrigued by the subject after reading it and then trying to do something to increase their own practice of wisdom. Highly recommended. Larry Prusak, Columbia University, USA This handbook serves as a medium for reassessing and rearticulating more responsible ways of praxis in the eld of organization and management. In this spirit, the chapters open a space for dialogue and debate. Rather than offering closure and nal answers, we expect this rst book in a new series to invite further inquiries, conversations and explorations by and among its readers: students, academics, and practitioners.

Timber
English Heritage
I found the content of the book to be both interesting and very informative. It certainly made me wonder just how much we have wasted, in particular, through replacement of windows where simple professional repair would have been both more cost effective and would have retained the original features. It also made me think just how much money we waste on treatment of timber when if property surveys are carried out by the right people the solutions can end up far more cost effective and less destructive to the building fabric. Building Engineer Timber deals with wide-ranging use of the material in historic buildings, from vast structural timber-frames through to high-class joinery and simple xings. Particular attention is paid to how and why timber decays or faults occur, and the methods of assessing and dealing with this. The bulk of the book covers appropriate methods of repair and maintenance. Includes 515 colour and 31 b&w illustrations March 2012 Hardback 498 pages 978-0-7546-4554-2 65.00 / $124.95

The Ashgate Research Companion to Modern Imperial Histories


Edited by Philippa Levine, University of Texas, USA and John Marriott, University of East London, UK
The Ashgate Research Companion to Modern Imperial Histories is a uidly written, comprehensive, and authoritative approach to the current state of the knowledge and conceptions of empire that will be an essential tool for students and researchers alike. Michael Charney, SOAS, University of London, UK Taking a broad, comparative approach to imperial experiences, this volume provides an authoritative survey of the latest research into the histories of modern empires. The focus is on the era of modern imperial history dating approximately from the early sixteenth century to the present. Such a periodization enables the volume to include the European experience of imperial expansion and settlement, important historical experiences outside the west such as those of Russia, Japan and China, the collapse of European empires attendant on decolonization in the post World War II period, and the contemporary example of North America.

Each individual piece is thereafter supplied with extensive background information in footnotes, while a ne biographical register at the end of the second volume allows the reader easily to identify all of Blacks known correspondents.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography


Volume II: Genres and Contexts
Edited by Stephanos Efthymiadis, Open University of Cyprus
For an entire millennium, Byzantine hagiography, inspired by the veneration of many saints, exhibited literary dynamism and a capacity to vary its basic forms. The subgenres into which it branched out after its remarkable start in the fourth century underwent alternating phases of development and decline that were intertwined with changes in the political, social and literary spheres. The seventeen chapters in this companion form the sequel to those in volume I which dealt with the periods and regions of Byzantine hagiography, and complete the rst comprehensive survey ever produced in this eld. The book is the work of an international group of experts in the eld and is addressed to both a broader public and the scholarly community of Byzantinists, medievalists, historians of religion and theorists of narrative. It highlights the literary dimension and the research potential of a representative number of texts, not only those appreciated by the Byzantines themselves but those which modern readers rank high due to their literary quality or historical relevance.

Petrarchs English Laurels, 14751700


A Compendium of Printed References and Allusions
Compiled by Jackson Campbell Boswell, Folger Shakespeare Library, USA and Gordon McMurry Braden, University of Virginia, USA
Petrarchs English Laurels offers a comprehensive, chronological presentation of the evidence for Petrarchs evolving reception and inuence throughout the long English Renaissance, 1475-1700. Here is all the evidence scholars need as set forth in the ages printed books for a detailed and accurate analysis of Petrarchs role and reputation during that time. Boswell and Braden excerpt references to Petrarchs life as well as to his writings including summary allusions, quotations, and translations. Generous old-spelling quotations from the primary sources provide full contexts for these excerpts, supplemented by concise, authoritative editorial notes on the authors and works in which they appear. Readers will learn from this work that Petrarchs inuence on English love poetry was almost a sideline compared to his inuence on such unrelated spheres as Reformation polemic, above all the attack on the papacy, but also moral instruction in general ranging from strictures against dancing to his warnings about second marriages. Petrarchs English Laurels will be mined for evidence in support of a very wide variety of studies in many disciplines, including religious and cultural history, philosophy, literature, and rhetoric. Steven W. May, Emory University, USA The powerful inuence of Petrarch on the development of Renaissance vernacular poetry has long been recognized as one of the major factors in early modern cultural history; this work provides a far more comprehensive catalogue of the direct evidence for that inuence in England than any yet available. It offers an itemised presentation, year by year, of printed citations, translations and allusions, with complete bibliographical information, quotations of the relevant passages and brief commentary.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Minimalist and Postminimalist Music

This is an extremely welcome addition to the growing literature on minimalist and postminimalist music.

It serves as an excellent introduction to the book but is also an intelligent and engaging exploration of the core and tangential repertoire. The book adds up to a fascinating study and will be much valued by non-academic and academic readers both within and outside of the academy alike. Philip Thomas, University of Hudderseld, UK In recent years the music of minimalist composers has become the subject of important musicological reection, research and debate. This Companion provides an authoritative overview of research in this area and highlights the innovative work of the renowned early minimalists, the distinctive work of second and third generation minimalists, and the work of diverse composers who have moved in parallel with minimalist developments while remaining resolutely outside its immediate environment. The Companion also considers minimalisms role in culture and society from the perspective of historiography, analysis, aesthetics and philosophy, and includes interdisciplinary approaches, associations and interconnections.

Multi-Volume Reprint Reference Series


Ashgates renowned multi-volume reprint reference series constitute a major resource for libraries, students and researchers and are aimed at undergraduate, postgraduate and research student levels.

Series are published across the broad spectrum of subject areas within the humanities and social sciences, ranging from law to music and from history to politics. Each series is edited by a renowned expert in the eld who selects the most signicant published journal essays in the subject, and contributes an introduction which presents an overview of the most important issues. The essays are reproduced in full in their original format using the facsimile method to facilitate easy and correct citation of the original essays.

The unique benet of these reference volumes is that they bring together the best of previously published research essays and articles in a specic subject area from a wide range of international sources which would otherwise be time-consuming, difcult and expensive to access. Students are therefore able to study inuential essays side-by-side whilst lecturers are provided with an invaluable one-stop teaching resource. New series published in 2013 include: 6-volume series: The Library of Essays on Equality and Anti-Discrimination Law 4-volume series: The Rise and Fall of Modern Empires 4-volume series: The Library of Essays on Law and Religion 3-volume series: The History of the Book in the East
