Opportunities for the Labour Party: Football, Class and Community Renewal
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article argues that football represents an underutilised opportunity for the Labour Party to anchor a wider programme of civic renewal. In many working‐class communities, the decline of trade unions, working men's clubs and other associational spaces has eroded collective life, leaving football clubs as rare institutions where dignity ...

PROPERTIES AND PERFORMANCE OF VACUUM INSULATED GLAZING
Journal of Green Building, 2014 INTRODUCTION As energy codes become more stringent, maximising the energy efficiency of the glazing used in buildings becomes of greater importance. Many new solutions have been proposed to reduce heat transfer through windows. One such technology that is currently growing in prominence is vacuum insulated glazing (VIG).

Debunking the myth of the quintessential resource manager: Precision in actionable science
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Science is too often framed as “actionable” for managers without defining either the intended manager or use. This perspective article presents the heuristic of “who, what, when, where, why, how” to help researchers be more precise when describing their actionable science and move beyond generic framings.

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...
