Learn how to integrate green strategies into your building design. This practical handbook provides an essential introduction to green design strategies – helping you to understand how to save energy, water and material resources. It provides the information required to make judgments about which strategy to use and includes tools to enable you to incorporate the chosen strategy during the early stages of design. Each of the forty-two selected environmental strategies includes a description of principle and concept, step-by-step procedures for integrating the strategy, annotated design tables and charts, key issues to be aware of when implementing the strategy, and references to further resources. Over 500 sketches and color photos illustrate concepts and applications. In this second edition, ten new case studies are included to show successful implementation of green strategies and assessments of building performance. Site analysis and glazing strategies have been added and new tables and updated drawings simplify the application of concepts, preliminary system sizing, and integration of strategies. Using real building projects as a guide, designers will be able to make informed choices about the most competitive and effective way to design a green building. The Green Studio Handbook is a reference guide and source of inspiration for students in design studios and architects in professional practice. Reviews “An excellent resource for both educators and practitioners” - Karol Kaiser, Director of Education US Green Building Council “An extremely valuable tool for making decisions early in a project, ones that will help dictate the form of a building, help determine what systems will need to be in place and which consultants will need to be brought on board, and help set a budget or see what can fit within a predetermined budget. The book is aimed at students as well as professionals, and it is certainly appropriate for both, be it at the introductory level and as a solid reference for seasoned green designers.” - John Hill, A Weekly Dose of Architecture “[O]ffers a useful introduction to green designthe content stays fairly schematic to help guide and introduce green strategiespurposely avoids creating a green building checklist and getting bogged down in technical detailscover[s] a wide variety of topics and show[s] how they are interrelated systems. Each strategy is accompanied by a wonderful set of sketches and images that aid in the reader's understanding of the basic concepts.” - Archdaily 'With more and more clients and architecture schools demanding ‘green’ design, both student and professional architects need to get up to speed quickly with the vast range of techniques in this fast-moving area.

This is my absolute favorite Gordon Korman title; I was sure I'd reviewed it before, but apparently not. It's wish-fulfillment for every kid who ever wanted to fight back against organized activities and be utterly cool whilst doing so. Mike Webster isn't thrilled to be at camp. Four weeks of being forced to play sports and meet a bunch of strange kids isn't exactly the reward he was hoping for when he got top grades. But then he meets Rudy Miller. Rudy isn't happy to be at camp either but he's not going to take this travesty lying down - he's fighting back! At first, Mike thinks he's a total kook, but he can't help getting drawn into Rudy's wacky plans and the two slowly become friends. In the end, they might not make it home, but they're going to have one crazy summer of trying! Mike and Rudy are like Bruno and Boots from Korman's MacDonald Hall series but times ten. You can't help but sympathize with the adults, landed with a modern-day Bartleby who simply won't participate, especially when they discover that he excels at everything. On the other hand, if you haven't completely left your childhood behind, you can sympathize with Rudy too, being forced to play sports (which he hates) just because he's really good at it. Of course, the main draw of this book is the constant hilarity. From the first prank Rudy pulls on their annoying roommate Harold to the final epic disaster, there's not a dull moment. The hapless counselors, gung ho director, and outraged campers are as nothing before Rudy's determination and smarts, not to mention a little natural intervention. Verdict: A perfect summer reading, most likely to appeal to middle grade readers. Alas, it is out of print in the US and the Canadian edition is unavailable. I purchasing a used edition for myself and you may wish to do the same. Until then, I can only hope the publisher reissues it so that every kid can snicker through the pages and come up with their own smart aleck pranks and remarks to drive adults wild.

I enjoyed this book in my childhood and I enjoyed it again as an adult. Gordon Korman writes a hilarious story of a boy who hates camp and will do whatever it takes to escape. I read it on the subway and laughed out loud. This is a great book for a parent to read to a child and is sure to spark the interest of reluctant readers. As an adult you appreciate the frustration of the counsellors who have to deal with such a problematic kid and as a kid you just want to be at that camp laughing at Miller's antics. If your kid liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid he/she will LOVE this book! I have read this book so many times that I have gone through three copies - three different covers shown as choices here! In spite of being able to recite passages off the top of my head, the hilarious moments in this book still make me laugh out loud - sometimes just if they are brought to mind, and when I'm not reading it. For any kid who ever went to camp, for those who wished they hadn't, and anyone who ever wished they could buck the system just enough to make people take them on their own terms, this book is a great choice. I found this book in the library of my school and it was rated 'humor'. This is one of the few books that's actually funny. The author, has an interesting way of making you laugh. This story is about a kid named Rudy who is a natural athlete. However, he hates sports. So, his parents sent him to a summer camp in Algonquin Island that's full of sports. This results with Rudy and his new friend Mike trying in to escape camp. Each time he fails and each time, his camp counsellor is chasing him down. This story has a very interesting plot.

Nathan drowned when he jumped into a lake to save a girl’s. Summary: A successful writer is enjoying life in the fast lane. Until his love life disintegrates that is and he then suffers writer's block of which there appears to be a rather unusual solution. Maybe Borrow? Maybe Pages: 320 Date: Publisher: Gallic Books External links: ISBN: 9058 Share on: This is a modern book for modern times. I loved the reader-friendly layout with big, bold type letting the reader know exactly where we were, in terms of storyline and location. But the story itself does jump about a lot and I suspect Musso wants to give a sense of urgency, a sense of frenetic energy at times. The blurb on the back cover is intriguing but there appeared to be an element of fantasy which is not one of my favourite genres. For me, a little fantasy goes a long, long way. So I really didn't know if I was going to enjoy this book or not. To give a sense of Tom's the central character writing success there's a clutch of newspaper quotes saying wonderful things about his books. He's been commissioned to write a trilogy. Two books in this Angel Trilogy have already been written and gobbled up by an adoring readership. Things go from good to very good as Columbia Pictures, no less, have purchased the film rights for the trilogy. No pressure then. Normally Tom would sit down and simply polish off the third book (as he did with the first two) but there's now a problem. His personal life has nose-dived, his gorgeous girlfriend has called it off and this has resulted in something far worse than death: writer's block. Everyone appears to have abandoned the now-loser Tom apart from the long-term friend and agent, Milo. He cannot bear to see Tom in such a state. Slumped in an unwashed heap on the sofa, basically. He's not responding to the outside world. So emails, texts, phone calls are ignored. Apparently the irrepressible Milo has hatched a plan to save his friend. But it's daring and also rather far-fetched. Will it work? Enter a pretty - and very mouthy - young woman called Billie. She's feisty and fearless, but sadly she's not real. She's a figment of the imagination - Tom's imagination. She's a character from one of his earlier books now in the flesh apparently. Yes, fantasy-land writ large. The conversations between Billie and Tom are upbeat, charming and often quite funny. Musso has created a likeable character in Billie. She was the one - the only one really, who stood out. I had no trouble picturing her in my mind's eye. Pity she wasn't real. She quickly got my attention and also some of my sympathy. Tom came across as weak (I know that's part of his character flaw) but he was weak generally. I forgot what he had to say almost as soon as he'd said it. To be fair, I enjoyed around the first third of the book but then I lost interest. I felt the book overly long and some of the action duplicated all of which gave the book a padded-out feel which I didn't appreciate. The pace is sometimes slowed down by dense and rather dull paragraphs here and there. Musso's style generally lacked sparkle for me. But - here's the rub. The ending is surprising, delightful and very good. But I had to wade through around 200 pages or so to get to some decent writing which was such a pity. So overall, a less-than-average read for me.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Heidelberg (Anglistisches Seminar ), course: Twentieth Century Crime Fiction, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This essay will explore how social. When the last honest citizen of Poisonville was murdered, the Continental Op stayed on to punish the guilty—even if that meant taking on an entire town. Book Details Title: Red Harvest Author: Published: 1929 Publisher: Alfred A. Tags:, Description: Red Harvest is a classic crime novel that helped established the hard-boiled genre. This is most definitely not a polite, parlor mystery where most of the blood is spilled off of the page. As the title suggests, this book is filled with mayhem and the bodies are falling left and right. The Continental Op travels to Personville, USA following an invite from the editor of the local newspaper, but upon the Op’s arrival, he finds out that his host had been gunned down in cold blood. Just another day in Poisonville. When Personville’s most powerful man enlists the help of the Op by floating a cool ten grand his way, the Op puts forth a plan to clean up the town once and for all. [Suggest a different description.]. Dashiell Hammett was an American author of detective crime fiction and short stories. As a young man he started his career at the Pinkerton Detective Agency as an operative. Hammett wrote most of his fiction while living in San Francisco in the 1920’s using street locations and characters based on people he knew personally. He is currently known as the dean of the “hard-boiled” school of detective fiction. Although his short writing career included 5 novels, 54 short stories, 18 published collections of short stories and 4 screenplays, his most popular and memorable characters are Sam Spade (The Maltese Falcon), Nick and Nora Charles (The Thin Man), and the Continental Op (Red Harvest and The Dain Curse).

He grew up in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Hammett left school at the age of fourteen and held several kinds of jobs thereafter—messenger boy, newsboy, clerk, operator, and stevedore, finally becoming an operative for Pinkerton’s Detective Agency. Sleuthing suited young Hammett, but World War I intervened, interrupting his work and injuring his health. When Sergeant Hammett was discharged from the last of several hospitals, he resumed detective work. He soon turned to writing, and in the late 1920s Hammett became the unquestioned master of detective-story fiction in America. In The Maltese Falcon (1930) he first introduced his famous private eye, Sam Spade. The Thin Man (1932) offered another immortal sleuth, Nick Charles. Red Harvest (1929), The Dain Curse (1929), and The Glass Key (1931) are among his most successful novels. During World War II, Hammett again served as sergeant in the Army, this time for more than two years, most of which he spent in the Aleutians. Hammett’s later life was marked in part by ill health, alcoholism, a period of imprisonment related to his alleged membership in the Communist Party, and by his long-time companion, the author Lillian Hellman, with whom he had a very volatile relationship. His attempt at autobiographical fiction survives in the story “Tulip,” which is contained in the posthumous collection The Big Knockover (1966, edited by Lillian Hellman). Another volume of his stories, The Continental Op (1974, edited by Stephen Marcus), introduced the final Hammett character: the “Op,” a nameless detective (or “operative”) who displays little of his personality, making him a classic tough guy in the hard-boiled mold—a bit like Hammett himself.
