Joining the superleague
Article Abstract:
Chief executives of construction contractors wishing to expand into Europe should be sure of their reasons before they proceed. The safest way to invest in Europe is through joint ventures with local companies that already operate successfully in their domestic markets. Those considering establishing offshore companies should realise that the British practice of conforming to national rules and regulations is uncommon in the rest of Europe, where corruption and cartels abound.

Move over, Canaletto
Article Abstract:
The Happold Gallery in Bath, England, is currently holding an exhibition of architectural photography entitled 'Developing Images.' This covers the work of 27 top UK architectural photographers, and therefore embraces many different styles. Some of the work is rather too predictable, but most of it is of very high quality. In particular, the black-and-white photographs of David Herrod are extremely well composed.
