Branningan's Building Construction for the Fire Service

8 reviews
Francis L. Brannigan, Glenn P. Corbett

Jones & Bartlett Pub, 2007

THE book for the Fire Service.
This should be required reading for anyone in the fire service who deals with Structural fire fighting. The book is pretty straight forward and in an easy to read font. I love this book. It also has a pretty decent index if you're using it for school. Out of all the books I've had to buy for school so far, this is the best one. If you're a fan of Brunacini, you may find a few points where ...

Team-Building Activities for Every Group

Alanna Jones

Rec Room Publishing, 2000

The best activity book
I'm a peer facilitator, and this is definitely the best group activity book that I've used. I've always gotten the best response from the activities in this book...they seem to be the most fun for the kids to do, while still teaching important lessons. The book is also very easy to read and understand. My fellow Peer facilitators and I have about 25 different activity books to choose from, and ...

Easy understand and get to the point
Interpretation of codes sometime is confusing. With the picture to explain, it is much easier to understand than just read the words. A picture is better than a thousand words!

The Yacoubian Building: A Novel

Alaa Al Aswany

Harper Perennial, 2006

Read in one day!
I resisted this book for a long time. I heard negative and positive things about it. Then the movie or series came out and again I heard negative and positive things. I am an Egyptian living in the US. I am specializing in Middle Eastern Studies. My sister sent me a copy of the Arabic version and my husband a copy of the English version. Today I was bored for an hour or so, that's when I ...

Francis D. K. Ching

Wiley, 2008

Undervalued as a professional resource and ARE study guide
Please dont let this simple architectural graphic resource book that has been around now for decades be viewed as unworthy of your time, because it certainly has been beneficial as part of the resoureces needed for me to pass the ARE's and for a quick review in my professional life as well. This current edition is now updated with the needs of the 21st Century architectural firm and forward ...

Construction Methods & Materials
This is BY FAR one of the best and most thorough construction books I've seen to date. There are many drawings and pictures to show what is being talked about. Excellent book.

Superb resource book

Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings, 10th Edition

Benjamin Stein, John S. Reynolds, ...

Wiley, 2005

Very very very thick - but truly worth owning !
I came across this book preparing Architectural Registration Exam (ARE). I have to say that this book is an essential for architects who are preparing MEP (Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing)section of the ARE. The book is divided into basically nine sections. 1. design context 2. thermal comfort 3. illumination 4. acoustics 5. water/waste 6. fire protection 7. electricity 8. signal ...

Every building contains clues embedded in its design that identify not only its architectural style but also the story of who designed it, who it was built for, and why.

Buildings across Time

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2008

Bad CD
This is an interesting book, but is marked down because the CD does not open on the Macintosh, even though it is supposed to be OS X compatible. The publisher provides no work-around to the problem. Not recommended.

Building Your Own Conscience (Batteries Not Included)

William J. Omalley

Thomas More Publishing, 1992

fantastic introduction to Catholic ethics for high school students
Judge this book for what it is - a high school textbook. Take it from someone who has taught this book for over ten years - this is a fantastic introduction to Catholic ethics for high schoolers. O'Malley has taken fairly complex subjects, i.e. natural law ethics and virtue ethics, and has made them comprehensible and relevent to the lives of teens, no mean feat. I only hope Fr. O'Malley will ...

Building the Bonds of Attachment: Awakening Love in Deeply Troubled Children

Daniel A. Hughes

Jason Aronson, 2006

eye-opening
I teach At-Risk 4 year olds and in reading this book I was struck once again with the fact that our words have such power with children....with everyone! This book documents a journey of positive, healing language and loving hope between a foster mom and her daughter. It reinforced to me that the best I can do with the limited time I have with my students is to be consistent with "the ...

Building Academic Vocabulary: Teacher's Manual

Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering

Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve, 2005

Best Enjoyed with Building Background Knowledge For Academic... by Robert J. Marzano
This book was worth the purchase because of the leveled word lists for ALL subjects. Almost 8,000 for 11 subjects - that includes all the topics covered in Social Studies, noncore classes, all leveled by grade range. It does refer to the accompanying Marzano work often and I found I needed to purchase both to receive the full amount of understanding I wanted on the subject. You need this if ...

For Dummies, 2007

Excellent Book
Green architect Eric Corey Freed knows his stuff and it shows in Green Building and Remodeling for Dummies. Freed makes green building and remodeling approachable and very doable. I like the checklists throughout the book and the perfect green rooms, both of which make understanding the big picture easy. Freed does an excellent job in explaining the advantages of building green for the ...

More Quick Team-Building Activities for Busy Managers: 50 New Exercises That Get Results in Just 15 Minutes

Brian Cole Miller

AMACOM, 2007

Great follow-up, with one added bonus
This book is similar to Miller's first book of teambuilding activities. Once again, all the activities are quick, easy to manage and require few props. Even though I really liked his first book and go to it frequently, I was a bit reluctant to pick this second one up, fearing that maybe these activities weren't on par with the first volume. I was wrong. They are every bit as fun and effective ...
