Short description
This edited book brings together the expertise of a powerful group of authoritative writers. The book is framed by an introduction that sets the scene, and a summary that lists the key issues for the sector and forecasts future trends. Each chapter contains a balance between theoretical and practical aspects. Case studies are designed to have international appeal. The book is supported by an already popular website, Brain HE, which contains extra materials and colour photographs.
