Simplified Design of Building Lighting
Uses a simple and practical approach to cover typical components and design of ordinary, uncomplicated systems for building lighting basics. Both natural lighting and electrical lighting are included and both the Commission Internationale d'Eclairage and IESNA methods are introduced for daylighting calculations. An expanded version of the point method is shown that covers all orientations instead of only orthogonal relationships. Along with terms and fixtures commonly used in the profession, each chapter includes numerous examples, ending with exercises and study questions that enable readers to better understand the material.
Building Structures
The comprehensive reference on the basics of structural analysis and design, now updated with the latest considerations of building technology Structural design is an essential element of the building process, yet one of the most difficult to learn. While structural engineers do the detailed consulting work for a building project, architects need to know enough structural theory and analysis to design a building. Most texts on structures for architects focus narrowly on the mathematical analysis of isolated structural components, yet Building Structures looks at the general concepts with selected computations to understand the role of the structure as a building subsystem—without the compl...
Simplified Design of HVAC Systems
A practical overview of what to consider when designing a building's heating, cooling, ventilating and humidifying systems along with their space, power, control and other requirements. Includes the latest concepts, applications, basic design problems and their solutions. Packed with examples to facilitate understanding.

Blood of Ambrose
In a remote city on the edge of two worlds, where blood has power and water is more precious than freedom, three far-flung friends unite on a quest to save their families. Sal Hrvati’s estranged father has brought more into the world than the woman he loved. Instead of saving her from the Void Beneath, he has summoned an unknown creature — a creature with a mission of its own and a past that stretches back to the beginning of the world. The quest to find both of them entangles Sal and his companions in a hunt for magical treasure on the floor of the Divide, a mighty crack in the earth inhabited by creatures that are not remotely human. Desert landscapes and dirigibles feature in a fast-paced fantasy that combines romance, adventure, and humor with an original take on magic. The Books of the Cataclysm take inspiration from many arcane and mythological sources. In positing that this world is just one of many "realms," three of which are inhabited by humans during various stages of their lives, it begins in the present world but soon propels the reader to a landscape that is simultaneously familiar and fantastic.
Design for Earthquakes
Bedingt durch die verstärkte seismische Aktivität in den letzten Jahren werden immer mehr Kurse zum Thema erdbebensicheres Bauen angeboten. Dieser praktische Leitfaden ist gleichzeitig ein "Crash-Kurs" für Architekten der alle technischen Daten und Informationen vermittelt, die für den Bau erdbebensicherer Gebäude erforderlich sind. Mit seiner Fülle praktischer Beispiele und einfacher Berechnungen ist dieses Buch insbesondere für Studenten und Architekten mit geringem mathematischen Hintergrundwissen geeignet. Allgemeine Aspekte des Baudesigns (Gebäudeform, Baumaterial, Planung usw.) werden in Beziehung gesetzt zu den ganz spezifischen Anforderungen an erdbebensichere Bauten. Dieses Buch schließt die Lücke zwischen allgemeinen Veröffentlichungen für Architekten und sehr detaillierten technischen Nachschlagewerken für Bauingenieure - eine ideale Kombination von Fachwissen.

A Fair and Honest Book
It was in a diary that he kept while in prison in Paris that Sherwill gave the first indication that he had it in his mind to write a book. Faced with what he anticipated would be a very long term of imprisonment, in an entry dated 13th November, 1940, he wrote: "I think when I am really settled in, I will write a book on the German Occupation of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. Not a thriller but a fair and honest book..." Early in 1943, together with a large party of other islanders, he was deported from Guernsey to Ilag VII Laufen in Bavaria. Here he began to work on his book. However, on 29th June, 1943, some four and half months after his arrival, having been elected by his fellow internees, Sherwill "became pretty fully occupied as British Camp Senior for the rest of the 'duration' and so did not continue my literary activities." Ambrose Sherwill, by then Sir Ambrose, resumed writing his memoirs after retiring from the office of Bailiff of Guernsey in 1960.
Hudson
The village of Hudson greets visitors with signs stating, Pride of the Prairie. The first settlers arrived in Hudson Township in 1829, settling near a Potawatomi Indian village about 1 mile west of where Hudson now stands. The boulder identifying the last stand of the Potawatomi village in McLean County was placed near the villages origin in 1920. The boyhood home of the famous author and philosopher Elbert Hubbard, built in 1857, still stands at Broadway and Walnut Streets. Constructed in 1929, the man-made Lake Bloomington offers both residential and recreation areas. The Evergreen Lake area includes a county park with camping, picnic areas, and a beach. In Hudson, readers will catch glimpses of these things and more: the past 175 years of people, agriculture, organizations, churches, and schoolsall built on the strong foundation of the early settlers.
Strawman Returneth!
In the year 1900, Colonel Cavendish and his allies came upon a powerful voodoo king from Haiti with strange origins. They called him “Strawman,” due to his evil transformation into a monstrous huge Voodoo doll. They were not able to kill this evil entity, since they could not find and destroy the source of its invincibility. Its captors could only restrain it, hoping it would never be set free. Strawman, once trapped, was frozen in the basement of White Hall Manor in Jamaica in a large metal box. Seventy-five years later, the monster escapes! It is 1975, and James Ambrose Sullivan—great-grandson of Colonel Cavendish—has become custodian of the family secrets, including Strawman’s dangerous legacy. Now, Strawman sets out on an insane revenge quest is on the man who captured him. Once the monster realizes the year, his immediate quest is to destroy the seed and everything related to the Cavendish family. He travels to St. Louis, Missouri, to fulfill his gruesome revenge. The vile creature returns, but who will stop him this time?
