Parametric cost estimating, when properly used, is a very powerful and cost effective technique. Unfortunately, this technique is often misunderstood and rejected by many potential users for whom it could be a beneficial tool. The development of an agreement on how to use it and how to recognise its limitations is a major benefit to the cost estimating community. From to Cost: A Practical Approach: • presents different ways of parametrically forecasting costs, and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods by using real examples from the mechanical, software and building industri

Playwright, politician, publisher, entrepreneur, spy, and rebel: few men of eighteenth-century letters led a more varied or controversial life than Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais. From humble beginnings as a watchmaker to exalted fame as the author of The Marriage of Figaro, Beaumarchais was a self-made man in a time when self-fashioning was close to impossible, a revolutionary in both his life and his art.  From these pages emerges the portrait of a man whose talents and activities extended far beyond the comedies that made him famous. We meet a political visionary who openly supporte

Reassessing the theoretical usefulness of the "high/low" culture perspective often found in writings on Romantic theatre, this book shows how this dichotomy has obscured the centrality of melodrama as a dominant mode of Romantic expression in post-Revolutionary France. The book focuses on Victor Ducange’s production (1813-1833) in order to reveal melodrama’s aesthetic and political contribution to the Romantic movement during the Restoration. The restructuring of the theatrical field after 1830 is analyzed to account for the break between Hugo’s Romantic drama and the melodra

Au terme de cet ouvrage, l’auteur s’interroge sur le rapport aux ancêtres royaux après l’Indépendance, à travers l’étude du procès qui déchire les deux branches dynastiques héritières des rois du Boina, région du nord-ouest de l’île, depuis 1957, et dont l’enjeu identitaire est la possession des reliquaires. Le procès permet d’analyser l’ambivalence entre pouvoir et religion et de mesurer la vitalité, dans le contexte local actuel, de ces anciens principes idélogiques.

There is an intuitive belief among scientists that each estuary or lagoon is unique and different. Similarities do exist, however, and this book attempts to highlight some common properties and perhaps some innovative views on biogeochemical processes, and biological fluxes which are of central concern in the understanding of the land-sea boundary. The contents are based upon lectures given at a Seminar organised as the scientific component of the 17th General Meeting of SCOR, held at the Station Biologique de Roscoff, France, on 22-24 October 1984. The original lectures have been substantiall
