This book, Dr. Robinson's autobiography, offers his unique personal experience of the 20th century, a century of fantastic technological progress, four major wars; and the prolonged life and death ideological struggle between democracy and totalitarianism in which democracy finally emerges victorious. 
It describes his pioneering participation in the post-World War II intellectual revolution which led to the computer revolution which is now becoming the world shaking "automation" revolution which has brought us to the brink of enormous increases in productivity through computerized automation of all branches of human endeavor. And he concludes by projecting the future course of this Revolution and its economic and social consequences. 
It describes the two World Wars, his important personal World War II experience in Mr. Churchill's private office, especially in the crucial days when, after the collapse of France, Britain faced the threat of German invasion alone. It also describes the origins and problems of the Korean War and the Vietnam War in the context of the relentless communist struggle to rule the world which dominated world history from 1918 to 1990. 
Every young American should read this book to gain an insight into the nature of these salient features of the 20th century, the lessons they have taught, and the legacy it is bequeathing - the Automation Revolution - that will transform our lives the world over in the 21st century.

"The book not only gives a clear picture of the policy and strategic framework of PFI/PPP projects, the governance and knowledge management issues through different phases from planning, design development to operation and service delivery and the processes associated with each phase, but practical tools, methodologies and capabilities needed to deliver PFI/PPP projects in a range of sectors are also explained. It clearly demonstrates the key imperatives that are the hallmark of successful programmes and projects no matter what there method of funding or delivery. 
I have no doubt that, in undertaking the programmes and projects that I am responsible for delivering and in undertaking OGC Gateway Reviews, to support clients delivering their own programmes and projects, I will draw on the material contained in this book." ―From the Foreword by Rob Smith, Director of Gateway Reviews and Estates &amp; Facilities, Department of Health There is a growing demand worldwide for transport, healthcare, education, energy and water infrastructure. However, government resources are often insufficient to meet the needs of new projects and to upgrade existing infrastructure. Private participation in public infrastructure is therefore increasing but the respective roles of the public and private sectors are the subject of intense debate. This has led to renewed interest in public-private partnerships in developed and developing countries. Governance and Knowledge Management for Public-Private Partnerships shows how effective governance and knowledge management can improve the performance of PFI/PPP projects. It provides an in-depth understanding of different dimensions of governance and how they affect project management structure, processes, and decision-making ability of actors and teams involved in PFI/PPP projects. The role of knowledge management strategy, the need for benchmarking knowledge management efforts, specific tools and methodologies for capturing, sharing and applying knowledge to accelerate learning and capacity building are also examined. The book is essential reading for all those involved in PFI/PPP projects, including policy makers, industry practitioners, academics and students. The practical tools for governance and knowledge management it offers make this book particularly useful for consultants, contractors and client organisations.
