In this volume, Matthew Davies and Michael Niemann bring international relations theory back into the everyday experiences of ordinary people, rather than the statecraft of the elite, and consider the impact of global processes. They develop the work of Lefebvre to problematize the inequalities in contemporary IR theory and consider the spaces of work, leisure and the family. International Relations & Everyday Life&nbsp;will contribute to the ongoing debates in international relations theory and will provide an introduction to IR for advanced students seeking to understand contemporary problems in the field.

The majority of construction work is carried out by subcontractors. As building projects become more complex, subcontractors need to understand the implications of the agreements they sign. The JCT 2011 Building Subcontracts has been written to help the busy subcontractor deal effectively with the range of JCT 2011 subcontracts they will encounter. It covers the most commonly use 2011 subcontracts, looking at the key contract conditions, the rights and obligations of the parties and how risk is allocated. A key element of the book is the discussion of the main practical problems that arise. Accessible and practical, this book will ensure building and construction subcontractors understand these contracts and have an easy to consult reference if any questions arise. It will also be of interest to main contractors, architects, contract administrators, project managers, quantity surveyors, contracts consultants and construction lawyers.

This book examines the beliefs of theistic evolutionists from the perspective of the teaching of the Bible. It is demonstrated that theistic evolution is not consistent with the truth revealed in the Bible, and undermines a number of key Gospel doctrines including the nature and mortality of man, the origin of sin and death, and the inspiration of the scriptures.

One of the 'Great Twelve' livery companies of the City of London, the Merchant Taylors' Company has been in existence for some seven hundred years. This history charts the remarkable story of the Company and its members from its origins until the 1950s, encompassing the lives and achievements of men such as Sir Thomas White (founder of St John's College, Oxford) and the celebrated chronicler, John Stow, as well as the roles played by the Company in the City and beyond in different periods. As well as looking in detail at the internal life of the Company, the book will also focus on a number of important themes in the wider history of London. These include trade and industry, apprenticeship, the impact of religious change, the foundation of schools and other charities, and the government and politics of the City. In doing so, the book contributes to an understanding of the aims and activities of the livery companies over the centuries, their ability to adapt to changing circumstances and their relevance in a modern world far removed from that in which they were first established.The History of the Merchant Taylors' Company appeals to a wide range of people interested in the history of London. It is fully illustrated with more than seventy-five black and white and thirty colour illustrations. It is attractively bound in cloth with a full colour dust jacket and matching cloth slipcase.

The Trust Triangle: How to Manage Humans at Work

Trust is the foundation of all meaningful relationships, yet 70 per cent of professionals don't trust their managers. It's a number that actually surprises few but profoundly concerns most of the awesome thought leaders alive today. From Simon Sinek to Patrick Lencioni, Paul Zak to Brené Brown, all agree that a lack of trust is the root of faltering relationships and mediocrity at work.What galvanised Matthew Davies to write this book was the lack of tools to address this appalling problem. There wasn't a clear--or, more importantly--practical roadmap for building trust that centred on one of the most important relationships at work--you and your manager. By implementing The Trust Triangle, you can now offer teams an environment where you (the manager) and they (your team) can genuinely flourish at work, unburdened by the baggage of a people manager without people management skills. Here's the business case in a nutshell. According to a massive study by Gallup, managers account for at least 70 per cent of the variance in employee engagement scores. So, if you want to build trust and increase performance at work, this book is for you.Trust is the highest form of human motivation - Stephen Covey
