Express permission is made in the various ICE forms of contract, and in the CECA forms of subcontract, for claims by the contractor for reimbursement of additional costs and for allowance of additional time to compensate for events that were not foreseeable at the date of the contract. In addition, claims may be made for damages for breach of contract, where the employer or his engineer is in default of his obligations under the contract. But the application of clauses giving rights to such compensation or damages is frequently misunderstood, with the result that the notices and records necessary for a claim to succeed are often not available. This, the third edition of an essentially practical book, explains the legal requirements of a successful claim, and the actions that should be taken by the contractor when difficulties arise that give him a right to reimbursement or to an extension of time, or, more usually, both. Similarly, actions are explained that should be taken by the employer and by his engineer in resisting unjustified claims.  This edition covers both the Fifth and the Sixth Editions of the ICE Conditions, the Minor Works Conditions, and the Design and Construct Conditions. New features include a chapter on the New Engineering Contract and the CECA Forms of Subcontract. Examples of claims submissions are included, and a number of recent cases have been considered.

Adjudication was introduced in construction contracts as a requirement of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act in 1998 to tackle the large number of disputes which dog most projects. Provisions for adjudication are now included in all standard construction forms and are implied into all construction contracts that do not expressly include them. When adjudication was first launched there were enormous uncertainties about how it would work in practice, and books published to coincide with the launch could only speculate on this. This new guide, written by a construction lawyer and experienced adjudicator, is the first to explain how adjudication is actually working in practice. It covers all the major court decisions which have clarified enforcement, adjudicator errors and problems such as definition of construction contracts, jurisdiction, insolvency, natural justice and human rights. It also deals with the complex requirements of the legislation regarding payment terms. This will provide a highly readable, but authoritative guide for all involved in adjudications, whether contracts directors, construction consultants, lawyers or adjudicators.

This book offers a celebration of golf in Ireland. It looks at 30 leading links and course, from the magnificent natural surroundings of Portmarnock and Portrush, developed almost 100 years ago, to the more recent parkland courses of Mount Juliet and Kildare Hotel and Country Club. Each course is discussed in detail, telling its history, of the famous players with which it is associated, and, of course, some of the legends: like the goats at Lahinch which doubled as weather forecasters; or the player at Killarney in 1957 who sliced a ball into the lake and killed a trout tht was rising to a fly; or Eric Fiddian, who in 1932, had two holes in one in the final round of the Irish Open Amateur Championship and lost his match.

This book examines the debates surrounding the expansion of the five main European institutions since the end of the Cold War. These institutions, all founded during the Cold War--the European Union, NATO, the Western European Union, the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe--have had to adjust to the dramatic changes that have accompanied the collapse of Communism. The extent and speed with which the process of enlargement takes place will be the most important factor in determining how the continent develops. Focusing on three main questions, the contributors ask: Is there an accepted unitary vision as to how Europe should develop and is this vision guiding the process of enlargement, or are there competing visions between the different institutions that are resulting in a fragmentary approach? To what extent have there been separate motives for enlargement within each institution? Have these debates and policies been related to any overall framework? And has there been a deliberate policy by Western governments to indulge in "cost free" expansion, enlarging political areas first and leaving more difficult issues of security and economics to a later stage?

Since the end of the Cold War, international organisations have assumed a greater importance on the world stage. The United Nations has played a key role in all of the major security issues during this period - increasingly called upon to address other global problems such as poverty and international crime - while the European Union has created a single currency and moved towards the adoption of a constitution. The growing significance of the World Trade Organisation and other economic institutions has led some to talk of the emergence of a structure of global governance; and international non-governmental organisations and social movements are now widely seen as forming a kind of global civil society that both challenges and participates in these developments.Building on the success of the previous edition (Versailles to Maastricht: International Organisation in the Twentieth Century), this book is a valuable introduction to the complex history of modern international organisation. David Armstrong, Lorna Lloyd and John Redmond:- pay close attention to the League of Nations, the UN and the EU- offer chapters on the new regionalism, global governance and international regimes and global civil society- adopt a thematic and analytical approach to the subject- provide a concise factual account of the rise of the international organisation

Almost fifty years ago Richard Nixon was elected with a "secret plan" to end the Vietnam War. My sixty-two--thousand- word novel, Rotations, follows a group of Americans thrust into this war in 1969 in the giant base at Long Binh. The characters, continuously rotate into and out of the unit as they attempt to deny the reality of the war by creating a comfortable American enclave. The characters include Adam Nussbaum, a recent NYU graduate and truth-seeker who suffers under a rigid and aggressive officer. He then falls into a romantic relationship with Katie Dolan, an RN at the military hospital where he interrogates North Vietnamese military prisoners. Adam is commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Bull" Basham, who attempts to run a Christmas tree farm in New Hampshire from Vietnam only to find himself dangerously drawn into the currency black market. Major Ang Dung commands an enigmatic ARVN intelligence unit under the policy of Vietnamization, and becomes an important and mysterious character in the story. Lieutenant Mike Dempsey, a recent West Point graduate commands an infantry platoon next to the intelligence unit., which slowly draws Adam into its operations . Although initially isolated from combat and attempting to create a "safe zone" in Vietnam, everyone in the detachment is gradually drawn into the real war, leading to a dramatic and violent conclusion.My personal experiences inspired this novel. I graduated from West Point in 1966, was in Vietnam in 1969 in an intelligence unit, graduated from Emory Medical School in 1974 and spent the last forty years as a medical oncologist.
