There's no excuse for not being up to code. Avoid costly mistakes with the invaluable help of "Building Codes Illustrated, Second Edition,", This unique reference marries the graphic skills of bestselling author Frank Ching with the code expertise of Steven Winkel, It pulls out the portions of the building code that are most relevant for the architect and provides an easy-to-understand interpretation in both words and illustrations., This reader presents case studies from a number of sources that illustrate the mutual, reciprocal impact of technology on one hand and the social sciences, including government policy, on the other. Along the way, the introductory text and cases suggest that advanced technology (high tech) is not always compatible with the different settings in emerging societies with other geographic, economic, social, cultural, and political environments. This may be a delicate message to convey with reference to both civilian and military technology, whose spinoffs may be significant. In the frequent controversy on this issue, it is useful to remember that at the end of the day, both private and public decisions are made by individuals who bring their own "baggage" to the decision-making process. The fact that technology has made the world more of a "global village" and transparent, and thus technological diffusion and transfer easier, is also contextually relevant. But whatever technology's downsides, emphasized in this work, admittedly technology has generally (though not universally) helped raise both the world's standard of living and its quality of life.

    My Volume 6 of "A Strange & Mystifying Story" was bagged, protected by a cardboard insert, and was shipped in a pretty aqua, bubble mailer. The book arrived really quickly, too. It is in superb condition; it looks brand new! I was very excited to find this particular volume as there aren't many copies available. I am extremely happy with this purchase. The price was really marvelous, and the shipping was free. I greatly appreciate the excellent service I received! Thank you so much!
