M. Vanhoucke, Ghent University, Belgium Measuring Time Improving Project Performance Using Earned Value Management
Meant to complement rather than compete with the existing books on the subject, this book deals with the project performance and control phases of the project life cycle to present a detailed investiga- tion of the project’s time performance measure- ment methods and risk analysis techniques in order to evaluate existing and newly developed methods in terms of their abilities to improve the corrective actions decision-making process during project tracking. As readers apply what is learned from the book, EVM practices will become even more effective in project management and cost engineering. Individual chapters look at simulation studies in forecast accuracy; schedule adherence; time sensitivity; activity sensitivity; and using top- down or bottom-up project tracking. Vanhoucke also offers an actual real-life case study, a tutorial on the use of ProTrack software (newly developed based on his research) in EVM, and conclusions on the relative effectiveness for each technique presented.

Historical Encyclopedia of Natural and Mathematical Sciences* Ari Ben-Menahem, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel First comprehensive encyclopedia of Science which blends essential historical data together with science proper *Previously announced in Spanning about 100 generations of great thinkers from Thales to Feynman Springer News 07/2008 Includes 2070 biographies of famous thinkers and scientists
The 5000-page Encyclopedia surveys 100 generations of great thinkers, offering 2070 detailed biographies of scientists, engineers, explorers and inventors, who left their mark on the history of science and tech- nology. This five-volume masterwork also includes 380 articles summarizing the time-line of ideas in the leading fields of science, technology, mathematics and philosophy, plus useful tables, figures and photos, and 20 ‘Science Progress Reports’ detailing scientific setbacks. Interspersed throughout are quotations, gathered from the wit and wisdom of sages, savants and scholars throughout the ages from antiquity to modern times.

Future City – A New Springer Series on Urban Adaptations to Climate Change
Introducing Volume 1 Ecopolis Architecture and Cities for a Changing Climate Order P. F. Downton , Ecopolis Architects Pty Ltd, Adelaide, SA, Australia TODAY Paul Downton’s Ecopolis highlights the urgent need to understand the role of cities as both agents of change and means of survival, at a time when climate change has grabbed world attention. It provides a framework for designing cities that integrates knowledge from a range of relevant disciplines. Identifying key theorists, practitioners, places and philoso- phies, the book provides a solid theoretical context which introduces the concept of urban fractals, and goes on to present a series of design and planning tools for achieving Sustainable Human Ecological Development (SHED). More about the Series: Springer’s Future City series combines expertise from designers, and from natural and social scientists, to discuss the wide range of issues facing the architects, planners, developers and inhabitants of the world’s future cities. Its aim is to encourage the integration of ecological theory into the aesthetic, social and practical realities of contemporary urban development. 7 J ointly published with CSIRO Publishing, Australia. 7 Distribution rights for Australia and New Zealand: CSIRO Publishing, Collingwood, VIC, Australia.
