Although housing in Bethnal Green was often appalling, a complex network of relatives - families of three generations held together by the powerful mother-daughter bond at the centre - was always available to provide mutual aid and a sense of community.  It was when families were rehoused in the immaculate new estates outside London, miles away from their kin, that the vital support system broke down, with disastrous effects on the quality of people's lives.  This famous book, based on a major three-year research project, makes clear how planners have frequently failed to understand real human needs; it also provides a marvellous portrait of the resilience and generosity of spirit which went at least some way to compensate for the deptivations of inner-city working-class life.

One of the pioneering works of modern sociology, Family and Kinship in East London is a study of family life in the East End of London in the 1950s, based on extensive interviews and case studies, which examines the consequences of moving families from urban to suburban public housing. The book was first published in 1954, updated in 1989, and is here presented with a new foreword by Judith Stacey.

Total productive maintenance (TPM), a Japanese management protocol developed to alleviate production losses caused by machine breakdowns and supporting just-in-time manufacturing policies, has aroused considerable interest in the Western world. Based on the author's experience of developing and implementing TPM techniques and training programmes within a wide range of manufacturing, process and utility operations, this book will provide an authoritative and practical explanation of what TPM is and how it can be effectively used as both a demonstrable application of Total Quality and as a key pillar to achieving World Class Performance. Emphasis is placed on the need to tailor your TPM programme to suit local, plant specific needs and is based on the author's experience of seeing TPM at first hand in Japan and then adopting those principles to suit our differing Western cultures. The book also contains a wealth of live examples based on case studies in European companies as well as detailed guidance on Site Roll-Out programmes and obtaining a substantial Management and Supervisory commitment to the TPM process.
