Sommario/riassunto

Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966) is considered one of the most influential ideologues of radical Islamism. This biography rescues Qutb from the label of 'terrorist' by offering a sophisticated analysis of his thought. It offers a view into the world of British colonialism, the birth of Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, and the growth of radical Islam.

Sommario/riassunto

Erfolgreiches Projektmanagement von Bauprojekten stützt sich im Wesentlichen auf den souveränen Umgang mit Baukosten und Terminen. Besonders die zuverlässige Kostenplanung ist für Bauherren ein wesentliches Qualitätsmerkmal eines guten Architekten und gehört deshalb zu den wichtigsten Grundlagen der Projektvorbereitung. Im Weiteren ist die Kostenermittlung unerlässlich für die Aufstellung des Projektbudgets, und es bedarf insbesondere einer effizienten Methodik, die planungsbegleitend Kostenüberschreitungen umgehend aufdeckt. Zentrale Schlüsselbegriffe wie Kostenkennwerte oder Lebenszykluskosten, Kostenermittlungsverfahren und Kostensteuerungsmethoden bilden ein unverzichtbares Repertoire für jeden praktizierenden Architekten. Basics Kostenplanung erklärt schrittweise und praxisnah die Kostenplanungsprozesse während der Planungs- und Bauphase und erläutert klar strukturiert, wie sich Kosteneinflüsse und -risiken einschätzen und bewerten lassen. Unterstützt durch Praxistipps, Beispiele und Grafiken lernt der unerfahrene Planer das Handwerkszeug, um fundiert und praxisnah in das Arbeitsfeld des Budgetmanagements einsteigen zu können.



Successful project management of construction projects is largely dependant on the confident handling of construction costs and schedules. For contractors, the ability to reliably plan costs is an essential quality feature of a good architect, and hence one of the most important basics of project preparation. Cost estimation is also vital in preparing project budgets, and it particularly requires an efficient methodology that can immediately reveal possible planning-related cost overruns. Central key concepts such as cost variables or life-cycle costs, costing methods, and cost control methods form an essential repertoire for all practicing architects.Basics Budgeting explains cost planning processes during the planning and construction phase step-by-step and on a practical level, and describes in a clear and structured manner how to estimate and evaluate cost impacts and risks. Supported by practical tips, examples, and illustrations, the inexperienced planner learns the tools of the trade in order to enter the field of budget management informed and in step with actual practice

Sommario/riassunto

Between 1150 and 1350, Paris grew from a mid-sized episcopal see in Europe to the largest metropolis on the continent. The population rose during these two centuries from approximately 30,000 to over 250,000 inhabitants. The causes and consequences of this demographic explosion are thoroughly examined for the first time in this book by Jörg Oberste. As it turns out, the management of urban space is key to understanding one of the most dynamic processes of urbanisation in pre-modern Europe: Who decides on the new construction of streets, squares, and houses? From whence does the multitude of new inhabitants come? What are the consequences of this massive wave of immigration on urban society, the economy, and the keeping of the peace? What kind of self-understanding evolves from the heterogeneous construct of the rapidly growing city, and what kind of external perceptions is late medieval Paris able to create? When does the myth of the "magical city on the Seine" (Heinrich Heine), perpetuated to the present day, come to be born? Oberste's extensive investigation of the pertinent and wide-ranging medieval sources sheds new light on these and other questions related to the significant expansion of the City of Lights in the Middle Ages.
