What opportunities does Design to Value afford the built environment? Design to Value is a commitment to process above all else. Well understood and applied in the manufacturing industries, its potential is only now starting to be realised in architecture, engineering and construction. It challenges designers to lead the way in creating more innovative and stakeholder-centric analyses, workflows, construction techniques and products. Through architectural thinking, value in the built environment can be maximised. Seeking to create deep and lasting impacts on industry, society and the planet, Design to Value rejects architecture’s current professional services model. The design and delivery stages of traditional procurement routes are not sustainable, and Design to Value outlines a new path for informed design processes. Bryden Wood, leading international expert in Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and the Platform approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA), has spent the last fifteen years developing Design to Value as part of a new framework for the future of the design and construction industry. In this essential book, the practice challenges architects and the wider industry to think differently about how value is generated, enhanced and retained in the built realm, providing a method that will improve outcomes for architects, clients, industries and society. Architects must bend and break habitual processes to build better systems, better buildings and better futures. Features: Over 125 images, including photographs, sketches and diagrams Over 20 international case studies, including those from Canada, France, India, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia and USA Projects from leading practices, such as Atelier Bow-Wow, BIG, David Miller Architects, Kieran Timberlake and Lacaton & Vassal, as well as Bryden Wood.

The story of Liberty''s is the story of design. The brand has been an international byword for style and innovation since May 1875, when Arthur Lasenby Liberty opened the doors of his Regent Steet shop. The son of a draper, Arthur Liberty (1843-1917) was inspired by the conviction that if he could only raise the capital to open his own shop, he could change the whole look of fashion in dress and interior decoration. He did exactly that. With an impressive ability to spot talent and to promote good, innovative and interesting design, Liberty''s shop quickly became the epicentre of London''s Aesthetic movement, the place where Oscar Wilde bought Japanese silk. Succesive movements found a home at Liberty''s: Arts and Crafts; Art Nouveau; Art Deco; and the Georgian revival. The work of almost all the great designers of the past century in the fields of glass, metalwork, furniture, ceramics, fashion and, above all, textiles has appeared under the Liberty label. In this book Martin Wood tells the story of Liberty''s, its design and its designers: from the pewter and silverware of Archibald Knox and the Silver Studio and William DeMorgan''s tiles to the fabrics of Lucienne Day, Sonia Delaunay and Bernard Nevill and the furniture of Piero Fornasetti, Vico Magistretti and even Ringo Starr.

Carla Martin-Wood explores the human spirit like an adventurer in a new world. She delves into the structure of what drives each of us through her own experience. In seasons, in time, in the beauty and wonder of our earth she exposes our mortal nature until all flesh disappears. In these poems we discover this new place where light shines on immortal bones. - Lise Whidden, Pushcart Prize nominee, author of Rosa''s Blue Underwear, (The Pink Petticoat Press, 2013) Carla Martin-Wood''s latest collection of poetry is a personal journey through anguish, revelation and release. The title poem depicts the human spirit in transcendence and triumph over the obstacles confronted in life, while other poems examine the solace found in the natural world and a faith that has both challenged and fortified this pilgrimage toward spiritual freedom. Extraordinary language, vivid imagery and originality define this book''s excellence on every level. - Wendy Howe, Pushcart Prize nominee, freelance writer, and former editor of The Baroque Review From the loss of an estranged brother to the fall of JFK, Carla Martin-Wood''s poetry confronts mortality head-on and never looks away. Yet hers is an art with "many pockets" from which spill images of rare and indelible power, and in the process, she finds both her own redemption and the reader''s reward. The "bonecage" forms her central motif: the means by which we meld the temporal with the ethereal. Its bars hold us back only until we learn to open them. - Brenda Levy Tate, Pushcart Prize nominee, author of Wingflash (The Pink Petticoat Press, 2010) Carla Martin-Wood''s out of the bonecage singing takes readers beyond the ordinary into transcendence. She weaves keen observations of the natural world and awareness of its cycles, within cycles of traditions. Her profound insights on mortality are stunning and beautiful. Her language will grip you and pull you into her inner realizations. - Joanne Uppendahl, Pushcart Prize nominee, author of She Who Gathers Stones

The current study examined the relationship between juror cognitive processing (measured by need for cognition [NFC]), attorney credibility, evidence strength, and civil litigation verdicts (liability, likelihood of causation, and compensatory damages). Participants viewed a videotaped mock civil trial in which the credibility of the attorneys and the strength of the plaintiff''s evidence were manipulated. There was a three-way interaction between plaintiff attorney credibility, defense attorney credibility, and strength of evidence for liability verdicts. For participants exposed to strong evidence and a non-credible defense attorney, the likelihood of a liable verdict (compared to a not liable verdict) was higher for a credible plaintiff attorney than a non-credible plaintiff attorney. Participants exposed to ambiguous evidence and a credible defense attorney had a higher likelihood of a liable verdict when the plaintiff attorney was credible versus non-credible. Participants'' NFC also interacted with the plaintiff attorney credibility. For high, but not low, NFC participants, the likelihood of a liable verdict was higher for a credible plaintiff attorney than a non-credible plaintiff attorney. Levels of NFC also interacted with plaintiff attorney credibility for likelihood of causation estimates. For high, but not low, NFC participants, the likelihood of causation estimates were higher for a credible plaintiff attorney than a non-credible plaintiff attorney. With regard to compensatory damage awards, there was a higher probability of obtaining the damage award amount requested, or more than the amount requested, for a credible plaintiff attorney than a non-credible plaintiff attorney. A credible plaintiff attorney also led to a lower probability of obtaining a damage award that was less than the amount requested. These findings suggest that the credibility of attorneys is influential to verdict decisions; however, the credibility of the plaintiff attorney has a more direct influence than the credibility of the defense attorney. The findings also suggest that case evidence is not always the primary determinant of verdicts. The heuristic-systematic model''s additivity, attenuation, and bias hypotheses were also tested. None of these hypotheses were supported across any verdict decisions. Practical, theoretical, and policy implications of these findings are discussed.

"This book, weaving together the history and genealogy of the More family and of the other families to which they allied themselves by marriage, provides an illuminating sequel to the various lives that have been written of St Thomas More. It tells the story of what happened to his family in the wake of his heroic witness against the tyranny of Henry VIII and how his descendents, inspired by his faith, were affected by their refusal to conform to the Church of England as, under successive monarchs, England was forcibly transformed from a Catholic into a Protestant country." "This is a story of a line of laymen and women, and of priests and nuns, all of whom had a deep faith and a firm resolve that makes them worthy of being listed among the ''Confessors of the Faith'' - minor Confessors, maybe, but Confessors nonetheless."--BOOK JACKET.

John Fowler was an interior decorator who set fashions and changed tastes. The English country house style, which he developed with Sibyl Colefax and Nancy Lancaster, his partners in the firm of Colefax & Fowler, has proved a source of continuing inspiration to decorators and home-owners on both sides of the Atlantic and indeed across the world. Today, a hundred years after his birth, his influence is almost as powerful as it was in the mid 20th century, when he was working on many of Britain''s finest and most famous houses, including Uppark, Chequers and Buckingham Palace, as well as dozens of more modest projects. Fowler''s style has been so widely imitated that it is easy to forget what an innovator he was. In the 1930s and 1940s his style was a breath of fresh country air, sweeping away heavy velvets and damasks in favour of crisp cotton chintzes, replacing glossy mahogany with painted Regency furnishings, elaborate porcelain and glitzy ormolu with modest pottery and painted tin. Even after the war, when he came to specialize in the decoration of architecturally important interiors, he continued to prefer ''humble elegance'' and ''romantic disrepair'' to pomposity.

From heart-stopping accounts of poltergeists to first-hand encounters with ghouls, this will appeal to anyone who wants to know more about Shrewsbury''s mysterious history.

The phenomenal gathering of spooks in Shrewsbury will captivate anyone interested in the supernatural history of the area. Martin Wood is a town crier and toastmaster. He has had an interest in ghosts for many years and for the past ten years has been leading evening tours of Shrewsbury, looking at the sites of known ghosts.

The leadership literature typically talks about the discrete individuality of its subject and particularly the personal qualities and capabilities of a few key people occupying top positions in a hierarchy. Current leadership research now has begun to generate new knowledge about leadership practice in relations of interpersonal exchange. Nevertheless, there is an urgent need for the ramifications of this insight to be more sufficiently developed. The current discussion explores how a perspective of process studies challenges the dominance of the field by individual social actors and discrete schemes of relations. Its aims are twofold. First, it will show how both of these latter epistemologies are lacking and suggest that current leadership research and development activities must rise to the ontological challenge of processes rather than things. Second, it looks at some methodological implications of this way of thinking as a productive incitement to future management studies.

Shizuka tells of four generations of Japanese and Japanese-Americans and their lives in the great Central Valley of California. A chance meeting between Martin, a middle-aged Caucasian, and Pat, a young Japanese-American woman who knows little about the life of her pioneer ancestors, leads by mutual impulse into the wilderness of the Sierra Nevadas to a greatly revered but little-known, century-old gathering place for early Japanese settlers, Pat''s ancestors. This is Shizuka. Austere and imposing, Shizuka ("a place of tranquility") comes to life with the discovery of diaries, written in Japanese and dating from the 1890s. They describe a tight knit, dynamic family with close ties to early Yankee and Mexican settlers, yet the cryptic entries can do no more than whet the imagination. It is only the unfolding story of Kazuo Kono, the family''s patriarch, that tells the true tale of Shizuka and of those who built it against great odds and were able, from time to time, to find tranquility there. Kazuo''s origins in Meiji Restoration Japan, his immigration eastward to America, his establishing a family with Motome, his brilliant and passionate wife, and his agriculturally important contributions to his adopted country give warmth and texture to a virtually forgotten era and its obscure heroes.
