5 out of 5 stars A marvelous array of etchings - simply astounding........1999-09-12

A wonderful picture book showing all of Piranesi's Le Carceri (the prisons) prints in the first and second states. The second state etchings are always darker and more improved than those of the first state.

The printing is very high quality. It even includes a little biography on Piranesi and his work. This is a large soft cover book perfect for students and artists alike.

      Book Description

      Along with the settlement of the Texas frontier came rustlers, public drunks, gunfighters, and other outlaws. A jail in which to incarcerate the lawbreaker was thus often the first public building raised in a new town.

      Later, as government developed, public buildings—notably county courthouses and jails—assumed not only practical but also symbolic importance. The architecture of these buildings in the nineteenth century reflected the power and status with which the community imbued the government; many of the same architects applied the aesthetic standards of the day to both. In later years, the safety and at least limited comfort of the prisoners became concerns and jails were remodeled or abandoned to other uses in favor of modern, more utilitarian structures.

      In this heavily illustrated guide to the historic county jails of Texas, Edward A. Blackburn, Jr., takes readers to each of the 254 counties in the state, presenting brief histories of the counties and the structures that housed their criminals. He provides general information about the architecture and location of the buildings and, when possible, describes the present uses of those that have been decommissioned.

      Interviews with local officials, historians, and newspaper publishers have yielded colorful anecdotes for many of the jails. Revealing photographs of many of the old jails have been gathered from local and archival sources, and Blackburn himself has taken pictures of extant buildings. Together, these words and images not only provide a survey of the way Texans have housed their criminals, but also, with the aid of thumbnail maps of county locations, offer residents and tourists throughout the state a guide to a fascinating aspect of architectural and cultural history.

      5 out of 5 stars Stone Walls Do Not a Prison Make.......2006-04-15

      In 1949 the Federal Bureau of Prisons published Correctional Institution Design and Construction, a detailed "source book for planning and construction of institutions ranging in type from the small jail and short term detention facilities for juvenile delinquents to the maximum security type of institution." In the books introduction, James V. Bennett, the agency's director, wrote: "There are in the United States more than 300 state and Federal prisons, reformatories, and training schools. In addition, there are several thousand city and county jails and workhouses. This great diversity of institutions which house and handle convicted and accused criminals represents a tremendous investment in physical plants and human lives. Yet there is probably no other type of institutional construction in this country which has been devoid of intelligent planning and direction as has the construction of penal and correctional institutions."

      Since the publication of that book more than five decades ago, the United States has witnessed a phenomenal growth in institutional construction and, by necessity, increased attention to prison architecture, thus addressing some of Bennett's concerns.

      In 2000 Norman Johnston, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Beaver College, provided the corrections profession a comprehensive and compelling history of the evolution of prison construction and design in Forms of Constraint: A History of Prison Architecture. In addition to its historical value, the book provides guidance for the design and construction of future prisons.

      This is a scholarly, well-documented, and richly illustrated volume that represents a significant contribution to correctional literature. Norman Johnston's book adds value to the bodies of knowledge on prison history, institutional architecture, and the development of correctional policy.

          Book Description

          Current and future prison designs are examined in this book, within the government's prison building programme, and the confines of current penal philosophies and legislation. America has led the way in prison design, with two main types of architecture predominating: radial layouts (outside cells with windows) and linear blocks (inside cells with grilles). Now, 'new' generation prisons (central association surrounded by small groups of cells) look set to become the fashion. But are they a better answer, and should they be copied worldwide before we know?



          Architects and administrators show in this book the designs of these 'new generation' prisons and assess their impact. Most countries in central Europe also have a rising crime rate and a demand for new prisons. Contributions from significant architects from the UK, Europe and America comment on these issues.

          Other topics within the book are: setting current prison architecture and design against an historical setting; looking at penal ideas and prison architecture and design in the post-war period; the psychological effects of the prison environment; the influence of technology and design on security management; and how prison architecture and design can be more flexible and innovative.

          Learn about the debates on effective penal reform and prison building design and gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject

          Informs you of the wide range of views, experience and knowledge from architects, prison staff, prisoners and penal reformers

            Book Description

            These fascinating letters capture the most traumatic experience of Ezra Pound's life, when he was incarcerated at the end of World War II and indicted for treason. Omar Pound and Robert Spoo have collected and edited the unpublished correspondence between the poet and his wife, combining it with military and FBI documents, previously unknown photographs, and an extensive, insightful introduction, to create the definitive work on this period of Pound's life. During his incarceration in a U.S. Army detention camp outside Pisa, Pound was allowed to write only to his wife, so these letters afford a unique look at a painful yet highly productive period, when Pound wrote his acclaimed Pisan Cantos and worked on his translations of Confucius. Readers will discover many fresh insights into the sources and contexts of the Cantos and the circumstances of their composition. Here, too, are many moving passages testifying to Pound's partnership with Dorothy and her courageous efforts to help him; her experiences no less than his come to life in this volume. But perhaps the most moving are the harsh conditions Pound found himself in: at one point, in the Pisan camp, he was confined for three weeks in an open air cage, until the sixty year old poet suffered a breakdown and was moved to a tent in the medical compound. The editors connect the anxious lyricism of the Pisan Cantos to these dramatic experiences, as the poet alternated "between savage indignation and suave serenity." The book also covers Pound's return to the United States and his confinement in a federal mental institution there. With more than 150 previously unpublished letters and documents, all authoritatively annotated, Ezra and Dorothy Pound: Letters in Captivity, 1945 1946, offers a rare glimpse into the life and work of one of our century's greatest literary figures.

                                  2 out of 5 stars NOT WORTH THE MONEY.......2006-06-23

                                  Book is very small with pictures of super high end stores. You know...2000 sq feet to showcase 10 t shirts.
                                  Not for many people with stores. Go to Vegas and look at the stores there. At least you will get something for your money...

                                  1 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2007-05-11

                                  This book is a list of vocabulary words - no kidding, there's nothing else! So I went to their website thinking I must have misunderstood the description, after all, it does indicate there will be outlines. That made me think there would be more than a list of terms. But no - there's nothing else!
                                  So - I can only recommend this book to someone looking for a vocabulary list.

                                    I think that this is a good book for anyone who wants a job in this field. And you probably don't think so but I do and I am only 15 years old.

                                    So give this merchandising book a try and see how you like it.

                                    4 out of 5 stars A Most Expensive Lesson.......1999-05-10

                                    This book costs about 50 cents a page - that is not obvious from the description - for that price you'd expect 500 pages, it is less than 150.

                                    Give me a line and I will sell you my copy for half the price.

                                        I found this book good for beginners in the field of visual merchandising. The basics listed were helpful and I will keep it on hand as a referance. If you are looking for inspiration, this is not the book for you. However, you can never read too much about any subject.

                                          This Retail Action Guide is a visual tour of the world of window and in-store display and merchandising.

                                          Written by Ken and Frank White -- hardly new kids on the retail bookstore promotional block. This handy new guidebook explores many of the arresting and effective in-store sales support techniques and ideas used by the best stores to stand out from the crowd and create win-win situations in their local markets.

                                          Illustrated with more than 300 visual color illustrations, the Guide begins with the basics of display and visual merchandising and moves on to the design of show windows. Next it expores designing for emotional appeal and integrating balance, focus, and harmony into displays.

                                          There are chapters that deal with new twists on lighting and color, show-window backings, props, and accessories. Beginners and seasoned booksellers will find the chapters dealing with displaying, staging displays, signs and directories, interior display, and store fixtures particularly helpful to planning and repositioning their marketing, promotion, and sales plans.

                                          Now it's easy to put the selling power of display and visual merchandising to work for you. Chapters dealing with specialty merchandising, cafes and coffeehouses, and improvisation open a world of new possibilities for any budget.

                                          The final chapter describes where to get the help you may need--if and when you need it--and how to become an outrageous success story!

                                          Charles Hill's Global Business Today, 3e (GBT) has become an established text in the International Business market for its excellent, but concise coverage of the key global issues including the cultural context for global business, cross-border trade and investment, the global monetary system and competition in the global environment. GBT's concise chapters give a general introduction to international business - emphasizing the environmental factors, with less coverage of operations. Charles Hill is renowned for his attention to research trends and that is evident in Global Business Today, 3e through a variety of real world examples and cases from small, medium, and large companies throughout the world.

                                          Well normally I would give it a much better review but I never got my product!!!

                                          3 out of 5 stars OK Product.......2007-02-07

                                          The product was okay. I accidentally ordered the wrong book, but it's really not that bad.

                                          3 out of 5 stars good book, I guess.......2007-02-03

                                          I got this book cause it was cheaper to buy it from amazon than through the campus bookstore. I didn't care for content.

                                          1 out of 5 stars Deceived.......2007-01-12

                                          The seller stated book was new. It had wear on it and the front page was cut out where the CD should have been. I was very dissappointed in the condition. It was too late to return it as class was starting.
                                          This is the only time I was ever disappointed. Usually extremely satisfied.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Good inexpensive text for International Business.......2004-05-01

                                          I use this as a text for an undergrad capstone course in International Business Strategy. Hill is co-author of a fine Strategic Management text, and much of the treatment in that text is evident here.

                                          The underlying economic arguments for firm behavior in their international and global activities are well presented. I ask my students to look over the concepts presented in this text, and then apply them to HBS case studies we discuss together in class.

                                          Compared to alternative texts on interntional/global strategy from George Yip (Global Strategy 2/E), or either of two from Bartlett and Ghoshal (Managing across Borders, 2/E, or Multinational Management), this one is more digestible for undergrads (vs. the MBA or other grad level courses these other texts appear to be targeting). It also makes a nice text for Intro to International Business undergrad courses.

                                          If you can order the text without the CD-ROM (unless you want to assign an international business plan, of course), all the better.

                                          For an overview of IB with grounding in the economics/strategy vein, there are few better texts. This one is also better value for the money than most out there, which your students will thank you for.
