There are textbooks on accounting methods and others on business management. \u003cem\u003eEngineering Money\u003c\/em\u003e does not aim to replace these specialized texts but brings together the elements of these subjects that young engineers working in industry — particularly the construction industry and its customers — need to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost engineers learn about money the hard way: by experience in the workplace. The authors, having done this themselves, recognised the gap in engineers’ education and set out to bridge it. This book is based on a 1996 course George Solt pioneered for final-year engineering undergraduates. It is written in an approachable style and gives young engineers, as well as mature engineers, insight into the way engineering businesses run, the importance of capital, and the problems of cash flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854478823660,"sku":"9780470546017","price":115.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780470546017.jpg?v=1759244100"},{"product_id":"the-untold-history-of-ramen-by-george-solt-9780520282353","title":"The Untold History of Ramen","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rich, salty, and steaming bowl of noodle soup, ramen has become an international symbol of the cultural prowess of Japanese cuisine. In this highly original account of geopolitics and industrialisation in Japan, George Solt traces the meteoric rise of ramen from humble fuel for the working poor to international icon of Japanese culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRamen's popularity can be attributed to political and economic change on a global scale. Using declassified U.S. government documents and an array of Japanese sources, Solt reveals how the creation of a black market for American wheat imports during the U.S. occupation of Japan (1945–1952), the reindustrialisation of Japan's labour force during the Cold War, and the elevation of working-class foods in redefining national identity during the past two decades of economic stagnation (1990s–2000s), all contributed to the establishment of ramen as a national dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Untold History of Ramen\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for scholars, students of Japanese history and food studies, and anyone interested in gaining greater perspective on how international policy can influence everyday foods around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000823431404,"sku":"9780520282353","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4aa3d90b108541ce345a96ac421904b6.jpg?v=1773004470"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/george-solt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
