Whole Life CostingA New ApproachPeter Caplehorn, Scott Brownrigg, UK.Whole life costing has been a subject waiting to come of age for many years. At the heart of sustainability is an understanding of what the specification means for the future of the building and how it will affect the environment. Whole Life Costing considers part of this and provides an understanding of how materials may perform and what allowances are needed at the end of their life. This book sets out the practical issues involved in the selection of materials, their performance, and the issues that need to be taken into account.

Environmental Impact of MaterialsFloor FinishesAndrew Dutfield, Jo Mundy, and Jane AndersonThis report provides a review of how floor coverings have been assessed within The Green Guide to Specification, including the application of the Environmental Profiles methodology which underlies it. The way in which floor coverings are addressed in building level environmental assessment schemes such as BREEAM and the Code for Sustainable Homes is also explained. The report will give manufacturers and specifiers an understanding of the significant impacts of floor-covering products over their whole life cycle to identify opportunities for improvements to the environmental performance.

Construction Materials

Two SpheresPhysical and Strategic Design in ArchitectureLeonard Bachman, University of Houston, USAThis book proposes an aesthetic connection between two equal aspects of architectural design: the ideal and the reality. Beginning with a historical perspective, the book looks at some of the key conflicts in architectural thought that were brought about by postindustrial change. The discussion shifts to clearly describe the forms of complexity, how these have interacted with architecture and the possibilities in fully embracing complexity in architectural practice. Although there are many books focusing on complexity science, there are few that focus on the relationship between complexity and design.

Competition and Efficiency in International Food Supply ChainsImproving Food SecurityJohn Williams, Australian Food Security Institute, Australia.The author highlights a common thread of either farmers using government for vested-interest intervention, or autocratic governments seeking market and supply-chain power. The book examines the role of government as expounded or perceived by government themselves after 50 years of food supply chain intervention. It discusses the role of ‘trade’ markets and cluster industries and how these can quickly disintegrate when price distortions occur.

Rethinking Miscarriages of JusticeBeyond the Tip of the IcebergMichael Naughton, University of Bristol, UK. In this highly provocative and fascinating study, Michael Naughton radically re-assesses the notion of miscarriages of justice. Drawing on Foucauldian theory and ‘social harm’ paradigms, Naughton uncovers the limits of the criminal justice process and questions the dominant discourse that views miscarriages of justice as rare and exceptional cases of wrongful imprisonment. Arguing that the criminal justice process itself causes miscarriages of justice, and can prevent the overturning of convictions, Naughton interprets error as the norm - a mundane feature that is an inbuilt part of the legal system.

Community, Cosmopolitanism and the Problem of Human CommonalityVered Amit, Concordia University, Canada and Nigel Rapport, University of St Andrews, UK.This book examines the changing nature of community through an exploration of mobile subjects such as migrants and business travellers and the tension between culturally specific notions of identity and a universal sense of humanity. The authors develop a ‘cosmopolitan anthropology’ which engages with both the specific and the universal. This book offers a new perspective on community through a dialogue between two eminent anthropologists, who come from distinct, but complementary, positions.
