5 out of 5 stars its great to see a book for architecture on how to do color.......1999-06-02

Its great to see a book finally for architecture on how to do color for buildings - with methods, materials and much on the color design process. This is a very practical apporach that i enjoyed reading and thinking about in my own work. Having to select materials, i.e., bricks and paneling and paint colors is never easy and this book makes clear what the strategies are all about for residential and commercial projects as well as architecture of various size, shapes and scale. I like the way the author organizes his approach and the visuals and layout design are clean and quite interesting. Good job and a big help!

                                  Book Description

                                  In the wake of civil protest in Seattle during the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting, many issues raised by globalization and increasingly free trade have been in the forefront of the news. But these issues are not necessarily new. Taking Trade to the Streets describes how so many individuals and nongovernmental organizations came over time to see trade agreements as threatening national systems of social and environmental regulations. Using the United States as a case study, Susan Ariel Aaronson examines the history of trade agreement critics, focusing particular attention on NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States) and the Tokyo and Uruguay Rounds of trade liberalization under the GATT. She also considers the question of whether such trade agreement critics are truly protectionist.
                                  The book explores how trade agreement critics built a fluid global movement to redefine the terms of trade agreements (the international system of rules governing trade) and to redefine how citizens talk about trade. (The "terms of trade" is a relationship between the prices of exports and of imports.) That movement, which has been growing since the 1980s, transcends borders as well as longstanding views about the role of government in the economy. While many trade agreement critics on the left say they want government policies to make markets more equitable, they find themselves allied with activists on the right who want to reduce the role of government in the economy.
                                  Aaronson highlights three hot-button social issues--food safety, the environment, and labor standards--to illustrate how conflicts arise between trade and other types of regulation. And finally she calls for a careful evaluation of the terms of trade from which an honest debate over regulating the global economy might emerge.
                                  Ultimately, this book links the history of trade policy to the history of social regulation. It is a social, political, and economic history that will be of interest to policymakers and students of history, economics, political science, government, trade, sociology, and international affairs.
                                  Susan Ariel Aaronson is Senior Fellow at the National Policy Institute and occasional commentator on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition."

                                    Determined to learn from the lessons of World War I where it was unprepared and heavily reliant on British and French guns, the US Army developed a whole new generation of field artillery weapons and tactics during the 1930s. Consequently, in World War II it was the clear leader in field artillery.

                                    Providing a thorough examination of the many critical innovations and doctrines, and the impact they had on performance in combat, this book demonstrates why US field artillery was so effective in World War II. Innovations featured include the motorization of artillery, which increased mobility; fire direction centers, which enhanced their firepower; aerial observation; and radio communications.

                                    Exploring, in their entirety, the weapons that formed the backbone of the US artillery arsenal in World War II, this book reveals a wealth of detail not readily available elsewhere.

                                    Steven J. Zaloga's US FIELD ARTILLERY OF WORLD WAR II tells of a new generation of field artillery weapons and tactics born in the 1930s and used in World War II. With vintage photos and plenty of technical detail, US FIELD ARTILLERY OF WORLD WAR II provides a fine survey essential to any in-depth coverage of the equipment and strategies of the times.

                                    5 out of 5 stars a concise review of an underappreciated arm of service..........2007-04-02

                                    The Field Artillery arm was one of the few areas that the US Army started out ahead of the Axis powers and stayed there. The Germans occasionally had bigger cannons, but the US system of command, fire control, and mobility allowed the American Army to mass fires from several units on a single target within minutes of receiving a request from front-line units. In this book Mr. Zaloga takes a technical look at the US Army's Field Artillery arm with much of the focus being on the weapons used. I ususal Osprey style the detailed text is supported by multiple photos, charts and several full-color drawings. The result is a one-stop reference on the guns and tactics used in WW2. The book is easy to read and well organized, the author is a recognized expert in military affairs and the price is quite attractive. Highly recommended to military historians, WW2 buffs, wargamers, and model-builders.
