Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This text provides a balance of theory, technique and facilitation. The emphasis is on providing a practical and proven framework for risk management on real projects with a clear, concise description of the complex topic of risk for professionals. Written by two experts in the field, it offers a practical, proven means of quantifying and minimizing risk, to inform business decisions in the design and construction field. Case studies and examples on the proper application of software and principles help make this book an important reference to the field"-- |

"The book presents an integrated approach to cost and schedule for qualitative risk analysis. This approach recognizes the value of considering the project schedule when cost is estimated. The approach was created and developed at the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The authors have expanded the scope of the process to cover any type of construction, and have provided two case studies developed throughout the book presenting the process in use on an instutional construction project and a heavy civil construction job"-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The teaching of numbers in the primary grades is seen in this book as the foundation of the beginnings of mathematical understanding. Mathematics is taken to be a language, and the aim of its teaching is to make the pupil, so to speak, bilingual, or so to increase his understanding that he is able to translate a concrete numerical problem into the symbolic language of calculation. For a child taught along these lines, how much easier, for example, would be the transition from arithmetic to algebra!Miss Churchill is fully conversant with the works of Piaget, Cuisenaire, Cassirer and other leading thinkers in educational philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. She has synthesized their concepts with her own experience and research at Leeds University, and, though written within the contexts of British education, her book should also have a marked influence on the teaching of young children in North America. |
