ISBN: 9780679760399 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "A dark and terrifying novel presenting a mythical account of the development of evil through the history of Southern Africa."--Seattle Times. This ferocious new novel by one of South Africa's visionary writers is a post-colonial reimagining of the Book of Revelation--an unholy epic that reenvisions the catastrophic violence of European "civilization" as a hooded rider who spreads slaughter across the African continent--a work that is as unnerving as it is intellectually provocative.

ISBN: 9781848061767 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This publication demonstrates the continuing health and societal impacts of poor housing in Wales. Proportionately, there is considerably more poor housing in Wales than in England, with dangerous stairs and steps, and cold and damp homes being key problems. It is estimated that works targeted on reducing the worst hazards would have a benefit to the National Health Service of some 67 million per year. This figure doubles if the definition of poor housing is widened to include all homes with a SAP (energy efficiency rating) of 40 or less and basic heating and insulation improvements are...

ISBN: 9781848063624 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This report summarises the results of a research project commissioned by BRE Trust to apply a methodology developed to calculate the cost of poor housing in England to the housing of London. A full description of the original methodology is contained in 'The real cost of poor housing'.
The results of this research show that there is proportionately slightly less poor housing in London than in the rest of England.

- additional costs to society of non-decent homes - the impact of less serious, but still significant, levels of... This report summarises the methodology and results of a research project commissioned by BRE Trust to quantify how much the improvements to social hou...

This report summarizes the results of a research project commissioned by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive and BRE Trust to apply a methodology developed to calculate the cost of poor housing in England and Wales to the housing of Northern Ireland. This research shows that there is proportionately less poor housing in Northern Ireland than in England or Wales, largely due to the fact that Northern Ireland has the most modern housing stock of the UK nations. However, there is still an unacceptably high (and previously unreported) proportion of health and safety hazards in the housing of...
