During Elvis Presley's career, he recorded some 800 songs in studio conditions, meant for release on record. In addition, many informal recordings were made of Elvis singing numbers that were never intended for record release. Such recordings were made at home, whilst visiting friends, during his stay in Germany, or even as one-liners or brief extracts during concert performances. Of all of these songs, David Neale has identified some 450 different titles that were recorded by someone else before Elvis got around to recording them. Roots of Elvis lists each of these songs, identifying the original recording artist and when the original was made (some date back to the 19th century!), as well as providing fascinating background to the numbers. Readers will be surprised to learn of Elvis's link with Ignacy Paderewski, for example, the man who prepared USA President Wilson's Treaty of Versailles. The range of music represented is quite extraordinary and is testimony to Elvis's versatility: rock'n'roll, blues, rhythm and blues, gospel, folk, and even a bit of classical: who would have thought that names such as Bach, Beethoven and Brahms would appear in a book about the music of Elvis Presley!

Construction Planning is a guide to the use of planning techniques that will be immediately useful to students and those needing a grounding in this specific aspect of project management. The approach is essentially practical using worked examples derived from real projects. Generally the examples used are contractually non-specific making the book of value to both UK and international readers. The style is clear and concise, well-illustrated and uncluttered with academic argument and references. Using both manual and computer methods of analysis the authors explain the basic planning techniques which make up the planner s toolbox. They demonstrate how these techniques can be used for monitoring and controlling the use of resources. There is an explanation of the role of ICT in planning and five useful case studies one of which demonstrates the role planning plays in building information modelling (BIM). The case studies include a low-cost housing project in Indonesia, a dual carriageway trunk road for the Department of Transport, a water pumping station and ancillary works for Anglian Water; and the Farringdon project for Crossrail, currently the largest infrastructure project in Europe. The book will be a key text for those studying construction-related courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
