Celebrating the centenary of the Los Angeles Times, the second-largest U.S. newspaper, Berges presents a candid story of its growth and development, along with portraits of its owners, publishers, editors and other personnel. Beginning with the pioneering days of founder Harrison Gray Otis who began the Times in a tiny printing shop, he describes how under the Chandlers it evolved from a provincial newspaper into an award-winning publication. Member of the current staff of the Times, the author describes the diverse workings of a modern newspaper and how stories and journalists are made, and conveys how staff members like Robert Scheer, book review editor Art Seidenbaum, cartoonist Paul Conrad, and columnist Jack Smith work.

This book captures best practice in construction stakeholdermanagement using a range of international case studies. Itdemonstrates stakeholder mapping, presents the power/interestmatrix and analyses a model for the timely engagement ofstakeholders. The increased use of partnering and other relational forms ofcontracting have underlined the need for project participants towork together and also to be aware of all those who can affect orbe affected by a project and its associated developments.Stakeholder management enables them to see this wider picture andprovides guidance for managing the diverse views and interests thatcan manifest in the course of a project’s life. All construction projects have the potential for conflicts ofinterest that can result in costly and damaging legal proceedings.This new book advocates an alternative to dispute resolution thatis proactive, practical and global in its application.Construction Stakeholder Management is therefore anessential text for advanced students, lecturers, researchers andpractitioners in the built environment.
