Book Description
This book is designed to be an inclusive for the best practice approach to building maintenance management, where the processes, procedures and operational systems meet a high standard of professional and academic competence. It offers a different perspective on building maintenance management by presenting the schematic building maintenance value chain model and it’s implementation in Malaysian university buildings. The findings show an improvement to building performance, lower maintenance cost, building sustainability and increased maintenance service user satisfaction. The learning outcomes and summaries provided for each chapter and the extensive use of tables and figures add to the readability of the text. Though the book is based on data from Malaysia, it is useful for a much wider audience, and the informal writing style makes it an interesting reference source. This book is valuable for readers who are practitioners, professionals and for academic institutions that offer courses in the building field, including architecture, quantity surveying, civil engineering, building and facility management, property management, real estate. It will also be of interest to governments and others involved in the construction industry.

Book Description
The prediction is that the 14th General Election (14thGE) is coming earlier than when it should be, as early as March 2017, instead of May 2018. On the one hand, with the DAP-led opposition in disarray for the last 18 months, since the departure of PAS, and on the other, the UMNO-led BN becoming more resolved and combative, the events leading to the forthcoming election promises more fireworks. The complexity of facts, fictions, perceptions and perspectives in making sense of the forthcoming 14thGE are intricate. “The present book, Democracy at Work, edited by Prof. Azizuddin and Dr. Ummu Atiyah of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), provides an essential critical backdrop to build an informed understanding of what to expect from the 14thGE based on the 13 chapters of the book on the highly confusing but sometimes entertaining 13thGE. An added bonus is that the chapters are written not by the usual crop of opinionated ‘tired’ scholars but largely a fresh crop of serious and bright ones. The book is a must read for Malaysianists who enjoy talking, studying and making opinions on the ever complicated Malaysian politics, beyond the ambit of the mamak shops.”

Book Description
The private finance initiative is helping to improve the quality of public sector construction work, according to the National Audit Office. Better price certainty and on-time delivery of good quality assets have been obtained by using PFI contracts. Only 22 per cent of public building projects had exceeded the cost initially expected by the public sector. Under previous contracts up to 73 per cent had overshot the original estimate. Only eight per cent of projects were delayed by more than two months. Public sector project managers were generally satisfied with the design, construction and performance of their PFI buildings. However, NAO did not try to judge whether PFI was the best procurement method for all public sector construction projects.

Book Description
The phenomenal rise of China as an economic power, as well as her heightened political and military clout that has been growing in tandem with this, inevitably brought forth, both regionally and globally, increasing concern over whether she is posing a threat to regional stability and prosperity, and if so, in what way. It is the modest aim of this book to contribute to the study of the impact of this Asian giant upon the global economic landscape, to address a question that lingers in the psyche of a world that is watching her rise with a mix of curiosity, hope and trepidation: whether this emerging great trading nation represents an opportunity or a threat, a partner or a rival. The first section of the book, "China in the World", addresses the opportunities and challenges presented by China's increasing presence in Latin America, analyzes the recent Sino-Scandinavian trade and investment relations, and introduces an eclectic model to explain China's trade based on factor endowments, increasing returns, nonhomothetic preferences, and trade costs. The second section, "China and Malaysia in the Regional Economy", scrutinizes the changes of China's perception in respect of free trade agreements from early skepticism to seeing FTA as an effective tool to defuse persistent fears among her neighbours of a "China threat", tests the impact of Sino-Malaysian trade integration on Malaysia's growth, assesses the opportunities and challenges that are open to Malaysian firms under ACFTA, investigates the extent of production sharing and the position of Malaysia's exports in the quality ladder with China, and looks at whether the comparative advantages of Malaysia in goods have altered significantly since China's entry into the WTO. The last section of the book, "Challenges of Reform", focusing on the domestic political and socioeconomic nexus involved in the transformation of modern China, provides an interregional comparative.

Book Description
Infrastructure is a priority around the world for all stakeholders. Infrastructure projects can continue for several years, from planning and construction to the provision of services. As development in Asia and the Pacific accelerates, governments must invest more in infrastructure to ensure continued economic growth. This book draws on lessons and case studies from Japan and worldwide, covering broad and long-term infrastructure projects. It describes the principles of developing quality infrastructure and focuses on the various steps of a project--from design, planning, and construction to operation and management. It also discusses overseas development assistance, taking examples from Asian Development Bank and World Bank projects. This book is an important reference tool for policy makers in Asia who are planning and implementing large-scale public infrastructure.
