( A fully revised edition of the book architects and deve...)
A fully revised edition of the book architects and developers consider the bible of hotel design. Hotel Design, Planning, and Development, Second Edition, is a thorough overview of the important and fast-growing hospitality industry. It is revised and expanded from the previous edition—the “bible” for designers, developers, planners, and students. This edition, updated to include significant hotels developed internationally in the last ten years, outlines essential planning and design considerations based on the latest data, supported by technical information, 60 Line drawings, 59 Tables, 429 full-color images, and many original floor plans. The authors describe and illustrate different types of hotels, at different locations—downtown, suburban, airport, roadside—with different mixes of facilities—casino hotels, convention hotels, conference centers—and provide analysis and theory to support each of the major trends, highlighting how the designers’ work fits into the industry’s development as a whole. They give increased attention to interior design psychology and the design process. The design guide includes specific information on space allocation programs and details on planning public areas, guestrooms and suites, and back-of-house facilities, as well as the newest developments in design practice and software. Extensive case studies showing best practice examples of hotel design demonstrate how a successful new concept is developed. Contributions from key figures in the profession, such as Ian Schrager and John Portman, illuminate the text. Hotel Design, Planning, and Development, Second Edition, is the primary resource for students of design and hotel management and an essential reference for all those actively involved with hotels. 469 photographs, 64 line drawings, 59 tables

The landscape of foreign aid is changing. New development actors are on the rise, from the 'emerging' economies to numerous private foundations and philanthropists. At the same time the nature of the global poverty 'problem' has also changed: most of the world's poor people no longer live in the poorest countries. Building on an academic review of research on foreign aid, Sumner and Mallet outline a new vision of the aid system – an 'Aid 2.0' – making a series of policy relevant proposals for global development cooperation in the twenty-first century.

There have been several main strands. One has been mainly microeconomic, suggesting the importance of considering the possibilities and implications of limited technical substitutability of resources used in production. While this hypothesis has remained a controversial one, it has also been fruitful, and has been adopted in many types of theoretical and applied development models.
An extension of this microeconomic interest was my work on the economics of education which generated calculations of ‘requirements’ for labour with different levels of formal education as well as different levels of job training. This produced what was, perhaps, one of the first suggestions of the possibility of imbalances between the numbers of graduates of schools at different levels of schooling and the demand for workers with those levels. The construction of relatively large intertemporal, multisectoral models for analysis of development options has been another area of concentration.
This started in a collaborative effort for India, and resulted in one of the first models of its type which had a linear programming structure The models were extended and elaborated in further collaborative work in a number of other countries: Chile, Egypt and Mexico. In the last case, extensive nonlinearities were embodied in the model overcoming many of the original limitations.
Collaboration in the construction
and application of multisector computable general equilibrium models has been an extension of the interest in policy models. The modification of the models to include substitution possibilities for energy sources of various types has been one type of extension of such models.
Other nonlinearities have also been embodied. All of this modelbuilding has involved extensive data preparation. The study of the development problems, both general and specific, has resulted in largeand smallscale modelling as well as project and sector studies, and estimation and refinement of data, nearly always with local collaboration.
Such work has been undertaken in Chile, Costa Rica, Egypt, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal, Sri Lanka and Turkey.
