Traditional Construction for Sustainable New BuildingCarole Ryan, Bournemouth University, UK.As well as cultural background, this book includes a detailed scientific description of traditional building materials and their constituents which draws a sharp contrast with modern petrochemical-based materials. The studies of traditional buildings included reveal the sustainability of features such as natural ventilation and breathing walls, and comparisons with modern construction methods show how they could prevent ‘sick building syndrome’. The author argues that maintenance for long life, by contrast with the modern concept of life-cycle costing, is at the nub of sustainability and underlies the contribution traditional building construction can make to tackling climate change.

Religion and Politics in International RelationsThe Modern MythTimothy Fitzgerald, University of Stirling, UK.Timothy Fitzgerald discusses how ‘religion’ appears as a force of nature which either assists or threatens the sacred secular order of things, and how religion is portrayed as a kind of universal essence which takes many forms. This book illustrates that the essential distinction between irrational religion and rational secular politics appears as an unquestioned preconception on the basis of which policy is conducted, countries invaded and wars fought. Fitzgerald demonstrates how a historically contingent discourse has been transformed into a powerful set of global assumptions.

Practice-based Evidence for HealthcareClinical MindlinesJohn Gabbay and Andrée le May, both University of Southampton, UK.This book challenges the evidence-based practice movement to re-think its assumptions. It examines afresh how clinicians use knowledge. Evidence-based practice has recently become a key part of the training of all health professionals. Yet despite its ‘gold-standard’ status, it is faltering because too much effort has gone into insisting on an idealised model of how clinicians ought to use the best evidence, while not enough has been done to understand why they so often don’t. This is a groundbreaking attempt to redress that imbalance.

The Ethics of Sports CoachingAlun Hardman, University of Wales Institute Cardiff, and Carwyn Jones, Cardiff School of Sport, UWIC.Despite the increasing sophistication of our understanding of the player-sport-coach relationship, the dominant perspective of the sports coach is still an instrumental one, focused almost exclusively on performance, achievement and competitive success. In this book, leading sport scholars challenge that view, arguing that the coaching process is an inherently moral one with an inescapably ethical dimension, involving intense relationships between players and coaches. This text critically examines this moral aspect, develops a powerful idea of what sports coaching ought to be, and argues strongly that coaches must be aware of the ethical implications of their acts.

Sports LeadershipErn Prentice has had an extensive career in HRM; and Ryszard (Ryk) Bliszczyk has over 18 years experience as a strategy consultant.When a sporting team loses a game, you may hear coaches say: “We did not have the mental ability to win”, “There was no team unity and nobody stood up to lead”, or “There just seemed to be a lack of leadership accountability”. When you ask a coach to explain their comments about leadership you get all sorts of answers - mainly from the technical aspect of the sport. Sports leadership intelligence is still in its infancy and while leadership behaviour is well advanced in business in the private and public arena, a lot more work is required to develop the correlation between leadership behaviour (on-field) and improved sporting performance.
