Book Description
Introducing a revolutionary new approach to detail design in landscape architecture
In this groundbreaking book, Niall Kirkwood of the Harvard Graduate School of Design takes a fresh,holistic approach to the theories, approaches, and practices of landscape detail. With the support of a wealth of graphic and written material taken from historic and contemporary landscape designwork, he clearly demonstrates the role that landscape detail plays in the design process. Going beyond theoretical considerations, Professor Kirkwood outlines landscape detail as a primary design activity, both pragmatic and poetic, using a range of built landscape design examples.
A valuable resource for professionals and students in landscape architecture, architecture, urban design, and environmental design, The Art of Landscape Detail:
* Provides a practical introduction to the aesthetic concerns, form, language, and expression of landscape detail
* Explores a wide range of detail issues-including materials, climate, durability, implementation, and failure-and their influence on the overall detail design process
* Examines detail design processes and research approaches that designers can apply in the analysis and development of their own work
* Contains in-depth case studies of eight award-winning landscape architecture design projects, including provocative discussions with the designers on the establishment and evolution of their detail design philosophy
* Features more than 150 images illustrating forms and site detail from national and international built landscapes

Book Description
This is not a traditional encyclopedic text filled with technical details. Rather it is a modern, "back-to-basics" book written expressly to promote economic literacy and engage students in learning about how economics affects them as citizens in our society. Coupled with pedagogical innovations that are well-grounded in learning theory research, the text?s visually effective design and captivating content inspire students to actually read the chapters. It succeeds like no other text in taking the intimidation out of economics and in meeting its goal of explaining the material in a manner that will "bring students the same feeling of excitement and relevance? the author felt when taking his first economics class.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
This book is useless for self study........1999-03-12
This text is useless for self study due to the lack of an answer key. A student is thus unable to check answers to any of the exercises.

Book Description
This accompanying book to Mankiw and Taylor's Economics does three things. First, it reinforces the text and improves the student's understanding of the material presented in it. Second, it provides the reader with experience in using economic theories and tools to solve actual economic problems, that is it bridges the gap between economic concepts and economic problem solving. Finally, the Workbook and Study Guide includes a self-test to confirm areas of successful learning and to highlight areas needing improvement. Each chapter in the Workbook and Study Guide corresponds to a chapter in the main textbook - Mankiw and Taylor's Economics.

Book Description
With the increasingly important cultural role being placed upon shops and boutiques in today's competitive retail environment, the need to provide new and innovative shopping experiences has brought about a redefinition of simple consumerism. Fashion spaces have taken on the role of the museum, presenting product collections as if they were displaying works of art. With this new emphasis on the role of the retail space comes the architectural challenge of creating multifunctional, customizable shells that can be renewed to meet the needs of every seasonal collection.
New Shops & Boutiques takes us inside more than 40 contemporary projects that have captured the public's attention and recognition, thanks to their exceptional interior and exterior architecture and design. From Giorgio Armani and the Sony Tower Showroom, to John Pawson and WonderWall Inc., this shopping tour around the world presents a comprehensive selection of the market's most outstanding commercial spaces and designers. And with more than 500 full-color photographs,
New Shops & Boutiques is sure to provide an indispensable guide for the storeowner and architect alike.
Customer Reviews:
A plethora of modern design ideas.......2006-05-20
This book shares many images with both "Ultimate Shop Design" & "The New Boutique: Fashion And Design" (both of which are likely recommended on the page you are looking at). Despite the common images, there is different information contained within this book than the others.
I highly recommend this book and the others mentioned as sources of inspiration if you are in the process of design a retail store you would like to separate from the pack.
Book Description
Shops and Boutiques 2000 is a stunning collection of designer stores emphasizing the unique aesthetic and ergonomic challenges faced and met by architects, designers and retailers such as Kenneth Cole, Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, and Estee Lauder. This presentation of designer retail "calling cards" explores today's most successful retail venues through eye-popping photographic profiles that include floor plans, sketches, and merchandising strategies.
Customer Reviews:
An outstanding collaborative showcase........2000-06-06
In Shops & Boutiques 2000: Designer Stores And Brand Imagery, Marcie Stuchin and Susan Abramson collaborate to showcase leading trends in international retail design and is illustrated with more than 250 color photographs. Each of the fifty trend-setting stores covered expresses its designer's distinctive aesthetic sensibility through inventive architecture, interior design, and layout in service of a unique and distinctive entrepreneurial environment. Also highly recommended are Stuchin and Abramson's earlier collaborations: Bedrooms And Private Spaces: Designer Dreamscapes and Waterside Homes And Showhouses: Signature Designer Styles.
Great Buy!.......2000-02-03
Awesome book! A must for enthusiasts of designer stores and brand imagery!
Customer Reviews:
For every LA Fashionista!.......2006-03-13
This book is DETAILED!!! Complete description of what types and designers can be found in hundreds of clothes stores in Southern California, and even includes maps. It names designers, each store's eccentricities, the changing rooms, name of the owner, whether they buy, etc. Some of the stores may be out of business by now, but it's still fascinating for the ones that are around. And it's cool to check out the scene from a few years ago. Highly recommended.
Book Description
Chocolate isn’t just a guilty pleasure anymore. New research into its health benefits, and the emergence of single-origin and varietal chocolate, have lent the luscious sweet a cachet equaled only by fine wine. And as interest in fine chocolate grows, chocolate tours are also increasingly popular. For chocoholics who travel regionally or locally — or just from an armchair — this book is the ultimate West Coast tour, covering 13 cities and regions including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle, and British Columbia. Featuring more than 50 of the West Coast's top chocolate spots, The Chocolate Guide is essential reading for anyone looking for a new chocolate experience: this includes chocolate lovers (of course) but also food writers, journalists, and gift-givers looking for unique presents for their favorite cacao connoisseur. Along with informative chocolate profiles, this beautifully designed and illustrated coffee-table book includes articles on tasting, storing, dining, and cooking.

Book Description
How do those French women manage to look sophisticated, casual, and unique? It may be in the water, it may be in the gene pool . . . or they may have a copy of Paris Chic & Trendy, a savvy guide that describes fifty-four of the best boutiques, designers’ studios, and vintage stores in the French capital. Some are small studio-shops run by up-and-coming designers, featuring only their own work (and maybe that of a few creative friends). Other stores showcase a sophisticated edit of pieces from seasoned designers who supply French fashionistas with must-have items every season (think Jasmin Puech handbags, Agnes B. striped T-shirts, Repetto ballet flats). The pages of this pocket-size guide are overflowing with colorful photos of each shop and their merchandise: jewelry, lingerie, shoes, handbags, separates, dresses, sweater sets, stilettos and boots, trench coats, and LBDs: It’s all in Paris Chic & Trendy, the go-to guide to find the most stylish shops in the most stylish city.
