SynopsisContinuing to put great classic and contemporary design within everyones grasp, Chronicle Books proudly delivers the next four installments of the popular Compact Design Portfolio. Written by top design critics, these books cover modern masters whose work ranges from the cozily domestic to the aggressively avant-garde: Eva Zeisel, whose elegantly democratic housewares span a 70-year career; Ingo Maurer, who raises lamp and lighting design to a high art form; Gaetano Pesce, whose rejection of traditional good taste brought about revolutionary furniture design; and George Nelson, the impresario behind the Marshmallow sofa and other Herman Miller classics. Follow-ing the introductory essay, a visual gallery exhibits selections of the designers best work in photographs and sketches. Presented in an irresistible small format, this series encapsulates the life, work, and influence of the great designers of our time., This handbook contains information and practical guidance on the environmental issues likely to be encountered at each stage in the tendering and construction phases of a builidng or civil engineering project. It is aimed at informing construciton managers, clients, designers and other consultants, engineers and scientists on their obligations and the opportunities open to them to improve the industry's environmental performance. It is designed to be accessible to a wide readership, from those seeking a concise overview or summary of relevant issues and legislation to others seeking more detailed guidance on accepted good practice. Reference to sources of more detailed guidance is provided whenever possible. The handbook forms a useful checklist and inventory of possible impacts and good practice for organisations considering setting up formal environmental management systems at a corporate or project level.
