Designed in a structured, directed format to help develop understanding, rather than just providing a simple source of information, this textbook offers comprehensive coverage of the refurbishment and maintenance of existing buildings, with a focus on the environmental impact of refurbishment rather than new build in the context of sustainability. Uniquely, both housing and large-span, multi-storey commercial and industrial buildings are covered in detail within this one text. This volume builds on material introduced in Construction Technology 1: House Construction and Construction Technology 2: Industrial and Commercial Building, but is also valuable as a standalone text. This textbook is aimed at undergraduates in Building Surveying, Construction Management, Architectural Technology, and Quantity Surveying, as well as HNQ programmes in building-related subjects; and Masters level students on conversion courses. It is also ideal for associated Built Environment courses e.g. Land Management, Civil Engineering, where the basic technologies need to be understood.

Cold Cases Solved: True Stories of Murders That Took Years or Decades to Solve There is no such thing as the perfect crime but there are some crimes that go unsolved for a long time. They are called cold cases. The authorities run out of leads and clues to track down and sometimes these old crimes go years and even decades unsolved. The cases contained in Cold Cases Solved are some of these stories. Each case was finally solved after a long time. Some of the cases are old murders and some are famous murders we have read about. Read how the old crimes are re-examined, old evidence is subjected to newer technologies and families learn about the fates of their lost loved ones. It is really gratifying to see so many of these cases closed.

Cold Cases Solved: True Stories of Murders That Took Years or Decades to Solve (Murder, Mayhem and Scandals)

Cold Cases Solved Vol. 2: More True Stories of Murders That Took Years or Decades to Solve This follow-up book to Cold Cases Solved continues where the first book left off detailing more true stories of criminal cases that went cold and were eventually solved, sometimes many years later. Some of the cases include: Martha Moxley – the case with a Kennedy connection, Jeanine Nicarico – the case that took over 20 years to solve, Sherri Rasmussen – fresh eyes caught the right clue, The 16th Baptist Church Bombing – solved after 14 years, Leslie Long – the young mother kidnapped, raped and murdered, The Outlaw clubhouse murders – a motorcycle gang wiped out, and many others. The closure attained by solving these cases must at least provide a modicum of relief for the friends and family of the victims. The authorities involved in the investigations and in bringing the perpetrators to justice must also feel a sense of accomplishment when they are able to successfully close a long-standing case.
