5 out of 5 stars Useful Reference.......2005-02-09

Excerpt: Time-Saver Standards for Architectural Design, 8th edition, is a ref¬erence for architects, design and construction professionals, and edu¬cators.

It represents the result of more than a half-century of documenting the knowledge and technical database for architectural practice. Over 80 authors and experts have contributed to the present volume, either with entirely new articles or, in other cases, updating topics and rec¬ommendations developed over many decades.
How to Use This Book
Scan the first-page summaries. The volume can be quickly scanned to provide an overview of the entire scope of architectural practice data. On the first page of each article, there is an introductory summary as well as key words, also found in the Index.
I
Use the Index for topic search. All topics covered in text, figures, and tables are listed in the Index, providing a cross-reference to locate specific content items.

Read introductory articles and each specific topic article. Each topic area and separate article presents a series of layers of increasing de-tail, beginning with introductory articles. Highlights of each article are presented through illustrations and text, including checklists of key design criteria. References at the end of each article list sources and citations.

Use the CD-ROM for easy access to selected articles with more data and detail. The CD-ROM Table of Contents is at the end of this volume, just before the Index.
Build your knowledge like a building. Topics in this volume are organized like the process of building a building, "from the ground up." This conforms to the Uni format II classification system, beginning with foundations and proceeding through superstructure, enclosure, interiors, and services. It parallels the sequence and elements by which the ar¬chitecture and construction process is logically conceived.
Companion Volumes in the Time-Saver Standards Series
The focus of this volume of Time-Saver Standards for Architectural Design, 8th edition, is the architectural design and building project, as defined in architectural practice, including all technical aspects of its design and construction.

Two additional recent titles of the Time-Saver Standards series follow a similar format and serve as companion volumes and additional ref¬erences:

Time-Saver Standards for Building Materials and Systems, 1st edition (2000), is a compilation of technical details and checklists for specifi¬cation and selection data. It is an ideal companion volume for the building designer and construction specifier.

Time-Saver Standards for Urban Design, 1st edition (2003), is an archival compilation of articles and references from the past 100 years, documenting the values and knowledge base of urban design. It covers topics beyond the scale of building to include urban design and planning.

Frank Webb has written a well organized, thoughtful work on artistic composition that anyone involved in the arts could benefit from.

There are rich colorful examples of paintings (mostly watercolor it would appear) as well as more diagramatic nuts and bolts type examples in black and white. He gets his points about composition across like no other author that I've seen in print. Not that other authors aren't worth checking out too. He describes and illustrates things like "interlocking shapes" and "shape passages" for example, in a way that you're not likely to forget. Ditto for the rest of the book.

His more structured pages show charts with various design elements (such as shape, line direction, tone, pattern, etc.) illustrated in the simplest most memorable possible way. The only other material that I've read about composition that was this organized and thorough was information that I downloaded from the internet. That information was a lot more expensive and I had to print it myself.

Frank is like a good old bottle of wine; the older he gets the better he gets.

This book really made me laugh, although I am the most ungenerous cynical person.

5 out of 5 stars laugh out loud.......2005-12-16

I defy anyone to not just love this eccentric tongue-in-cheek look at decorating. It takes interior design and skews it with hilarious results. Clever, original, and only slightly obscene. (And I'm talking about the rooms...!) A great urban gift.

5 out of 5 stars Really, you should buy it........2005-06-01

This is my book so I'm not unbiased in my giving it 5 stars, but disregard the inaccurate Amazon description above. Here's the deal: It's a collection of real online male personal ad photos with the figures obscured, and then my critique of the room's decor behind them. Fight Club author, Chuck Palahniuk included Obscene Interiors in his list of Top Ten Books of the past 10 years - Yay! And Dave Eggers had this to say, "Obscene Interiors is not only a cruelly brilliant idea, but it's executed with great cunning and even some warmth."

From the back cover: A first of its kind collection of online male personal ad photos featuring shockingly explicit amateur decorating action! Lamps, plants, curtains and couches mix it up in this graphic display of aesthetic perversion!

5 out of 5 stars How not to decorate.......2004-06-19

What a hilarious book. Page after page of men who are simply oblivious. These guys have no shame in exposing themselves with a variety of backdrops, ranging from tacky, scary to out and out gross. This is like a book of favorite cartoons - you just keep picking it up.

4 out of 5 stars Can't. Stop. Looking........2004-05-09

What were they thinking?! I mean, I can understand the roguish impulse to shoot naughty pictures of yourself and even to post them on the Internet. I've done it a time or two myself. But those lamps! And that wretched sofa!

This is a delightfully diverting little book. If there's a flaw, it's that it's too short by far. You can't put it down and you can't look away from these decorating disasters so, in the end, you want more, more, more deliciously awful decor to punish your eyes.

Or perhaps I'm just some sort of weird interior design masochist. It's possible.

Another beatufully illustrated pokemon book. You just can't beat the drawings in these.

5 out of 5 stars Very clever!.......2000-10-01

In this book, the author found a very clever way to explain why people hardly ever see Mew. It turns out there's a whole group of Mews living in the heavens, but they have one cardinal rule: Don't show yourself to a human unless you have a good reason! However, one Mew who's shown himself to kids lots of times has a dilemma when a kid he's recently shown himself to is ridiculed by his friends when he says he saw a Mew. However, the other Mews realize that sometimes it's more important to help a friend than obey the rules, and they come up with a plan to help the little boy.

5 out of 5 stars Great For Kids!.......2000-05-17

This book great for kids who love pokemon! Mew is the cutest Pokemon, so kids will enjoy him,just buy this book for your child!

        Book Description

        This is a testimony of how one woman's life was dramatically affected by her trips to Israel. In this book the author gives a personal testimony of how she was called to go there, the miracles that got her there, and the signs and wonders that she experienced first hand while there. The author wishes to share this personal account of her journeys to the Promised Land with others in the hope that they will not only be touched, but more importantly, to make Christians aware of their calling to pray for Israel and the Jewish people. To show that when they are faithful in doing so, how richly the God of Israel will bless them. Nothing is more important in the writing of this book than to open the eyes of the reader to this calling and command.

              4 out of 5 stars good introductory book but increasingly dated.......2000-04-02

              The sections presenting the basic physics that parameterize detection and weapons operation give the reader a very good introduction to the principles of operation for various general weapons systems, as well as the capabilities and limitations of a general weapons system.

              However, the weapons systems actually described are if not actually obsolete, obsolescent. This is especially true with regard to the C4I and ECM/ESM, EO, and detection systems. There is no mention of stealth, GPS, Aegis, or JTIDS. SAR and MTI sytems should have more emphasis, as does the section on digital computers.

              In short, this is a good introduction to basic physical principles that systems operate under, but an increasingly dated explanation as to the way systems operate and a very dated description of operating systems. This is a good idea for a book, but needs a thorough rewrite at this point (April 1, 2000).

                Product Description

                It is indisputable that without weapons and their associated systems, a Navy has little utility. But weapons have come a long way since the days of cast iron cannons and solid shot. Today's naval weapons are as complex as they are necessary, making extensive use of radar, sonar, lasers, computers, and a host of other supporting components. These books are the "Rosetta stone" that makes these complicated systems decipherable and understandable. By necessity, the books take a multi-disciplinary approach, pulling together, in a practical way, elements of electronics, hydraulics, ballistics, explosives chemistry, and various other arts and sciences to give the naval professional a solid foundation and the penetrating understanding they need to be the masters of modern weapon technology. Filled with explanatory illustrations and practical photographs to accompany the carefully written texts, this work is user friendly as well as authoritative. Developed as the primary weapons textbooks for the U.S. Naval Academy, these up-to-date and comprehensive books are a worthy new addition to the Naval Institute's Blue & Gold Professional Library, serving with the other books in the series as a primary source of knowledge and guidance to naval professionals.

It is supported by five specific historical data-sets, available electronically in downloadable and manipulable form.

                              Download Description

                              Making History Count introduces the main quantitative methods used in historical research. The emphasis is on intuitive understanding and application of the concepts, rather than formal statistics; no knowledge of mathematics beyond simple arithmetic is required. The techniques are illustrated by applications in social, political, demographic and economic history. Students will learn to read and evaluate the application of the quantitative methods used in many books and articles, and to assess the historical conclusions drawn from them. They will also see how quantitative techniques can open up new aspects of an enquiry, and supplement and strengthen other methods of research. This textbook will encourage students to recognize the benefits of using quantitative methods in their own research projects. The text is clearly illustrated with tables, graphs and diagrams, leading the student through key topics. Additional support includes five specific historical data-sets, available from the Cambridge website.

                              4 out of 5 stars A lantern in quantitative methods.......2005-08-28

                              Irving Fisher(1892)said that "mathematics is the lantern by what was before dimly visable now looms up in firm, bold outlines". Unfortunatley, most texts on any area of mathematics fail to enlighten students but rather tend to confuse. Not this one however! Feinstein & Thomas present the subject of quantitative methods in a most readable and enjoyable way. I couldn't put the book down. As an introduction to concepts and techniques it works extremely well with clear and unencumbered presentation, plenty of exlplanation and straightforward diagrams.
                              F & S manage to make their subject interesting. That is the mark of a true teacher.
