Frank Lloyd Wright: The Phoenix Papers

Book Description

No more dense computer manuals and time-consuming code copying. With this invaluable new reference, Web designers at all experience levels can get up to speed immediately on the latest technologies-and use them to create compelling online sites.

New and better technologies have created increasingly demanding consumers. A Web site that doesn't incorporate the latest effects will have trouble keeping the user's attention-and the challenge to deliver lies squarely with today's Web designers. Now, Rockport Publishers helps answer this challenge with the Web Tricks and Techniques series. These user-friendly reference guides are designed to make even the most complicated and intimidating Web technology easy to understand.

Using a straightforward format that allows readers to look over the shoulder of top design experts, Layout offers tips and tricks for every element of Web page design. Step-by-step instructions walk the reader through a wide range of challenges from general layout issues (storyboarding and architecture essentials) to navigation (pop-down/up menus and collapsible navigation bars) to special effects with text, and an accompanying Web site includes actual HTML codes to download making each featured “trick” work.

Worth a beginner's GLANCE - but not much of an investment.......2003-09-15

As always with a Rockport book, this item is attractively designed and produced in full color on thick glossy pages - but only 160 of them. Most of the pages are dedicated to displaying alternate views of web pages which have had their markup changed slightly, shown in different browsers, etc. There is *elementary* guidance on such concepts as Frames, Tables, alignment principles, font styles... pretty basic stuff, as you can see.

If you're a complete novice to web design (author suggests you have some HTML familiarity) you may find the book gives you *a few* new ideas about the potentials of design -- but you'll have a lot of further studying ahead of you. Worth spend thirty minutes browsing in a library or book store... but paying thirty greenbacks or so? "Eric Meyer on CSS" will give you a lot more thorough introduction to the process - and actually enable you to put together several different sites.

And - FWIW - strangely, as of September 2003 the author's web site had only one graphic and her email link - not quite what I'd expect for somewhat committed to web design. Hmmm...

the problem is >>.......2003-02-20

This is the book for begginers , it gives you
basic rules about creating webpages , it gives
you scripts that you can find in web without any help.
It has true words and nice photoes but nothing more, if
you're searching something about : how to do nice-looked
webpages , how to organize work by using grid, make good color
combinations , work with typography to find attractive
solutions, you will not find it here.

learning how to look.......2002-10-04

Finally! Someone who knows what makes a website work, and is willing to tell the rest of us. This book is very aptly titled: "Layout", as opposed to "Linux". It teaches me what to look for in a web site design that is effective in both marketing and aesthetic. It gives me all the options I need to design well with plenty of compelling examples. This is not an advanced programming book. In fact, it starts with very basic things. Like using legible fonts. Like pale colored backgrounds (instead of black backgrounds with red lettering). As a professional artist, I know how I want my images to come across on my website. If my site is poor then I lose business. I don't want to spend thousands for a site that looks poor, nor to learn a new career in order to market my current career. The structuring of the lessons, the online resources listed, the tips and commentary in Layout are all excellent.

A great resource........2002-09-24

This book offers a host of useful design suggestions that will help to avoid many of the most common mistakes. If you are a technical person like myself and you frequently wonder why some pages are so much more appealing than others you will find the answers in this great book.

Lots of helpful layout ideas.......2002-09-09

You'll find plenty of examples of good, clean layouts with tips on creating similar pages. The online tutorials are helpful and leave more room for full-color graphics of actual websites. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Be sure to check out all the recommended sites for tons of examples. A good book for quick reference to well-though-out designs.

Customer Reviews:

Interesting yet frustrating.......2003-02-16

If you have tons of equipment, a great studio, and ready staff, you'll like this book because everything mentioned in it should be within your grasp. For a beginner, however, who is trying to make beautiful images with very little equipment, no studio, and few (if any) assistants (and none who are paid professionals), this book becomes 'boring' from repeatedly thinking "that's way beyond what I can do." It would be very easy to walk away from the book thinking that if you haven't made it already, you never will. There is some good information and ideas in it, else I'd have given it an even lower rating, but it was generally disappointing. It struck me as a litany of "here's how we did this as established photographers" versus "here's what you can do" and that's really not what I had hoped for.

Book Description

“ The Handbook of Intercultural Training, Third Edition provides a thorough grounding in the history, concepts and methods underlying intercultural training. The many analyses of tools, methods and approaches for specific contexts offer guidance in designing and conducting effective training interventions. The collected theoretical and practical information presented in this book is critical for professional interculturalists.”

—Lee Gardenswartz, Ph.D. and Anita Rowe, Ph.D., Partners, Gardenswartz & Rowe

“This book is just in time and just for me. It's as if someone assembled all the interculturalists I admire and respect and bribed them to share their latest and best thoughts in a well-crafted chapter. You'll probably feel the same way.”

—Sivasailam "Thiagi" Thiagarajan, Ph. D., Workshops by Thiagi, Inc.

Completely revised with all new chapters, the Third Edition of the Handbook of Intercultural Training provides a state-of-the-art review of the field of intercultural training. Written by the leading authorities in intercultural studies, this definitively updated volume offers not only a convenient summary of research but also information on specific training techniques. It analyzes with depth and clarity regions of the world where intercultural issues have heightened--including Central and South America, Europe, and China, as well as Eastern Europe, Russia, and Israel. Other parts of the book examine theoretical and methodological issues inherent in understanding intercultural interactions and training and the contexts in which training takes place.

An essential reference of intercultural interactions across disciplines, the Handbook of Intercultural Training synthesizes information of special note for professionals, researchers, and students in management, educational psychology, ethnic studies, sociology, and gender studies, as well as a broad array of human services such as counseling and nursing.

Excellent Resource for Intercultural Trainers.......2004-05-30

"Beyond Experience" is a book full of different activites to be used in an intercultural training session. One of its very useful features is a full outline of a training design, with timeframe included, which incorporates the activities mentioned in subsequent pages. Trainers with more experience can use this as a base, bringing in other relevant material.

The training activities described tend to fall more on the "culture-general" instead of "culture-specific" side, and are mainly designed for U.S. participants who are planning on traveling or living abroad, or are in contact with other cultures in the United States. The activities are also mainly for those who have limited exposure to other ways of thinking and perceiving the world. Through examining U.S. proverbs and the values that are held by the participants, the aim of the activities is to challenge assumptions and pave the way for a more successful intercultural experience.
