The second edition represents a major revision and extension of the series with the aim of bringing together the whole site investigation industry and is intended for general application to all ground investigation work.

This book is the first of two self-supporting volumes that make up the 8th edition of Tables for the Hydraulic Design of Pipes, Sewers and Channels. It presents Tables A to provide a comprehensive range of solutions of the Colebrook-White equation, covering standard diameters from 20 mm to 4000 mm plus 4500 mm. These tables are in the format established in previous editions, with sequences of tables for incrementally varying roughness sizes. A new setting adopts 50 gradient increments per order of magnitude change, upgrading from the 35 increment system of previous editions.

The ability to predict the movement of cohesive sediment within coastal, estuarine or inland waters has a significant economic and ecological importance in the development of new engineering works and the maintenance of existing installations. Dynamics of estuarine muds clearly describes the most up-to-date developments in this field and contains information about improved procedures and how they can be applied to a variety of engineering projects.

Exploring how the economy can develop and grow by upholding the social contract and giving social partners like trade unions the space and a key role in this new economy, A New Left Economics reviews the dominant neo-classical economic paradigm and provide insights into a new economic model by critically assessing the new left economics. Through revisiting Keynes and the relevance of Keynesian economic thinking today, von Brockdorff and Spiteri argue for going beyond GDP to a more social model based on welfare, reclaiming the word 'welfare' from neoclassical economics in the process. Incentivising the social economy enterprise model is also key to this new paradigm shift - the focus is never on curbing economic activity, but rather on making it work for more people to generate greater welfare. These could include cooperatives and employee-owned models, right through to certain circular economy models that promote social wellbeing. This is an accessible and intriguing text focusing on new left economics, revisiting and modernising Keynesian economic thinking to frame a basis for an economy with a strong social focus.

Compiled from 10 years of research, with chapters contributed by experts in the field, we demonstrate how tourism will benefit from applying a new paradigm found in mainstream psychology, termed here the 'Cognitive Wave'.
