Stone in Architecture, 4th Edition


Springer-Verlag | 2010 | 3642144748 | 565 pages | PDF | 21 MB


This book surveys the important stone properties, both physical and chemical, pertinent to the architect's, engineer's and stone producer's needs. Emphasis is placed on the chemical characteristics of the pollutants in air and waters and their interaction with stone which accelerates the process of stone decay, often many times faster than in rural locations in quarry or rock cut. Graphs and diagrams, the scientist's language, analyze and quantify the natural processes which lead to stone decay: simplification of the graphs enhances their legibility to the student of geology, environmental science, engineering, also to the museum curator and conservator who deals with stone monuments. Only thorough knowledge of stone properties and processes can lessen their frequent misapplication, lessen the present urban stone decay and enables to counteract with preservatives. The book also provides information to the stone producer and consumer for a better understanding of his product stone.

Enterprise Architecture Best Practice Handbook: Building, Running and Managing Effective Enterprise Architecture Programs - Ready to use supporting documents ... Enterprise Architecture Theory into Practice


By Jeff Handley pages: 124 | 2008-11-19 / 1921573112 / |


This book covers every detail, including some missed in other books. This thorough book provides a clear roadmap to designing, implementing and operating Enterprise Architecture. The author leaves no key process out and completely covers everything from initial concept to measuring support effectiveness and process improvement.
The book starts with an initial strategy that is focused on planning Enterprise Architecture services that are completely aligned to requirements and are based on a mission statement. This business-oriented approach is refreshing and will keep IT grounded in the real reasons for Enterprise Architecture. More importantly is the process for careful selection of services to provide. An overly ambitious set of service goals will kill a Enterprise Architecture implementation early in its life by offering too much before there is stable Enterprise Architecture in place. This book is realistic and lays the foundation for a successful implementation.
The section on the actual design of the Enterprise Architecture structure provides insights and information that can be applied to a large number of solutions. Since Enterprise Architecture will be organized in accordance with requirements and unique mission statements, this section of the book is like a catalog of patterns. It has excellent tips on how to best structure Enterprise Architecture to meet requirements and mission. The information on accurately estimating staffing requirements is consistent with industry best practices and something that, believe it or not, is often overlooked when Enterprise Architecture is established.
This book gets into the meat by thoroughly covering the processes that are essential to running Enterprise Architecture. There are many topics that stand out as both unique [to books of this genre] and reflect best practices by the best-run Enterprise Architecture shops. Examples are change control, disaster recovery and vendor management. These topics show that the author not only considers business alignment, but also cross-functional alignment.

California Interiors


Taschen | 3822866105 | September 1, 1999 | PDF | 303 pages | 33 Mb

There's something eternal about California home interiors, a bit of the wild, natural style leashed by responsible domesticity. Writer Saeks has captured the essence of both northern and southern portions of the state, wisely allowing pictures, not text, to take center stage. More than 40 homes are displayed visually, gracefully divided into two urban lifestyles (Los Angeles and San Francisco), by coastal and country circumstances, and by design classics. Featured are nests of both the famous and the nearly so; Diane Keaton's Lloyd Wright home (Frank's son) is contrasted with two comfortable Sausalito houseboats. Ideas galore, along with the references--design catalogs, flea markets, and a bibliography--make imagination live. Barbara Jacobs
