this is a good book for a technician or an engineer trying to get up to speed on the subject. Some typos and misprints are amusing. There are a number of disconnections between the illustrations and the text which occasionally make for difficult reading.

1 out of 5 stars Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Buildings (3rd Edition).......2007-02-15

This book is terrible. If you are a certified HVAC specialist, it is for you. However, if you are new to this then it is a total waste of money. Explanation is bad, example are nowhere relate to the section discussed. And worst of all, there is no answer keys. You will not have a clue if you are correct or not. Every chapter there are as least half of the review question are calculations, yet in each chapter there will be probably one page showing how calculation is done. Example one of the simplest thing:
COP = Cooling Effect / Power Input. If you look up the index, you cannot find the word "cooling effect", find out whichever chapter they discuss, or show you how to calculate the "cooling effect".
You are in luck if you do not have class that uses this book. You have bad luck if you have a "good" teacher that using this book. You are doom if you have a "bad" teacher who using this book, might as well drop it. Waste of time and money.

5 out of 5 stars Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Buildings, 2nd.......2003-06-20

Very good book. Helps you understand the systems inside (and outside) of buildings in use everyday that most folks don't have a clue about. If you are interested in understanding how your building equipment functions this is a good book for you. Down to earth and well written. Recommend to property management personnel.

5 out of 5 stars Great book for newbies!.......2001-05-02

If ur stepping into the building services industry, this book will be a comprehensive packaged info for your reading pleasure. Includes lotsa real-life diagrams, plan routings, concepts and explanation. It's 4am over here in Singapore and I've just finished reading one of the topics, just imagine how attractive the contents this book has! However, the only and regretable drawback is: the units are empirical which make it very difficult for me for in my country, we use SI metric units.

4 out of 5 stars There's just one problem with this book..........2007-05-15

The author carves the entire bird including feet and branch out of just one piece of wood. Nice trick if you can find a piece of wood big enough! The photos and directions look great, but I would have appreciated it if I'd been given information on making bird feet and legs. A lot of bird carvers just order commercially cast pewter feet and legs, but if you want to enter your bird in competitions you need to make your own feet and legs. Most bird carvers use a combination of metal rods and plastic wood to have a structure strong enough to support the bird's body. Mr. Muehlmatt's chickadee has carved toes that do not support the body, but just blend into the tree branch. So, if you aren't working with a big hunk of wood that is large enough to include the wood branch you are out of luck for bird legs. I do think his chickadee is stunning and I'll use this book for his insight and information. I also like the clear and copious photos, I'm just disappointed that it is unlikely that I'll have chunk of wood big enough to make a bird relying solely on his directions.

5 out of 5 stars Ernie's little critters............2007-03-19

I enjoyed this book particularly since I have taken carving classes with Ernie Muehlmatt several times and believe that he is a wonderful, giving and natural teacher.

4 out of 5 stars Superb, if a little daunting, an aspiring volume.......2002-03-15

I come at this book as someone who wishes to improve their darkroom technique beyond the obvious burn-in-the-sky and dodge-the-face level. I also come at this from someone wishing to exploit at least some, if not most of the advantages of the Zone System, where in most guides the idea is to minimise print manipulation.

There is no doubting that the work in this book is outstanding, if not a little stylised. It takes you from a basic proof print, to an image representing more artwork than photograph, and if that is the school that you wish to follow, then this is simple the best book for you. A decent knowledge of darkroom techniques is required to get the best out of this book, I would disagree if someone said it was for the beginner, it is simply not. Also when trying out the processes in the darkroom for yourself, it requires skill already gained and an experienced eye that a beginner simply would not have, the art of working out what the Author is trying to accomplish, and then applying that to your own work takes time and effort and skill, you aren't given a copy of the Authors negatives to practise his technique! It also requires some hefty equipment, most noticably a highly accurate and programmable Enlarger timer, a switch and a stopwatch are not sufficient, and so it should be, as beginner printers need to move beyond that on their way to becoming master printers.

Useful as well is the breakdown by image is the technical section. A very valuable resource but can be found in several other books.

The way I find this book to be most useful is when judging my own work. Having a proof print, and then referring to the book for similar aspects in the Authors work, and imagining, and trying, to implement the techniques.

This is not a book to read and admire, but to take time, be that months or even years, and learn from, but beware not to copy, but to find a level of manipulation that suits your style.

5 out of 5 stars Getting the most out of smaller negatives........2001-09-02

Getting the most out of smaller negatives.

One of the problems that the small format (35mm) photographer faces when using faster film (ASA 400) is that the subsequent loss of detail makes truly representative imagery difficult to accomplish. Used to the techniques of large format specialists such as Ansel Adams or John Sexton, we have come to expect big prints with breathtaking depth and detail. In addition, large format negatives permit fine manipulations of contrast and perspective. This often convinces the 35mm SLR owner that good black and white landscape work is beyond his or her reach.

Fortunately, this is not true. Eddie Ephraums fine volume on landscape printmaking is a study in using the characteristics of the smaller camera as stepping off points instead of limitations. Ephraums' moody stylings, full of burning in, contrast manipulation, and toning are exciting images that actually benefit from the presence of grain and softness. He takes twenty images and presents complete details on both the thought process and the darkroom work needed to produce the final result. These alone are a gold mine of creative information.

The remainder of the book is a technical section that covers everything from darkroom setup to print finishing. Each subject is lucidly presented, with excellent photographs. Although an experience darkroom worker I still found much food for thought. I especially liked the sections on image and print assessment, as well as his coverage of toning. The last part of the book a formulary and a good section of tables and charts.

While the book is well enough written for the beginner to use, I think someone with a modicum of experience taking and making pictures will benefit the most. This is not a read it once and forget it kind of book. You will find yourself returning to it often when you are faced with the puzzle of how to get down on paper what you saw in your mind.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2001-05-02

Step by step technical data for each image in the book is included. There are notes on each image from its original creation, film used, developing, lighting all the way to printing and toning data. The first straight print is included alongside the final print, so yo uare able to see how the results of careful and creative darkroom work. Charts on the areas dodged and burned, bleached and toned are included to walk you through to the creation of the final image. The appendix includes several toner recipes all of which are very good.

4 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2000-03-06

For people who kow how to produce black and white prints in the darkroom. The book shows the creative process that STARTS once a satisfactory print is made. His treatment of prints by various toning methods is astounding. Illustrates a striaght print and then shows how to modify it using toning, dodge and burn, etc. A section is devoted to making your own chemicals. Personal experience is also listed as a side note when making the original exposures. I am humbled by the fact he uses an old Nikon manual camera with a 50mm lens @ f:/11 for almost all lanscape exposures; he says your money is better spent on film, and the experience gained -- along with extensive darkroom work of course.

5 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for!.......1999-12-15

This book is exactly what I have been searching for. It describes many techinques of B/W landscape darkroom work. Many images are included, not just the final product. Most describe a first shot, the final shot and many of the intermediate steps including photos, diagrams of zone and/or exposure analysis and thoughts about the process as a whole.

There are also section in the back of the book that give summary but useful information on exposure tables, exposure adjustment, chemical recipies and more.

Buy this book.

5 out of 5 stars Learn from a master!.......1999-07-05

Shows various printing methods in a step-by-step manner so you may immediately give them a try yourself. This book is for black and white printing only, although the side information relating to making the initial exposures may be a help to anyone. The book shows clear examples along with simple explanations; in the back is some very good technical information including home brews for toners, developers, etc. The book assumes the reaader already knows how to make an ordinary black and white print

5 out of 5 stars Unprecedented Piece of Work on Darkroom Techniques.......1998-04-22

This is a "must have" book for anyone who takes their black and white darkroom work seriously. Definitely not for the casual beginner. I have only just begun darkroom work myself, but have found that the book has allowed me to leap ahead by an unknown amount of time. Mr Epphraums includes all the information that he considers when he clicks the shutter as well as how he chooses the right frame to print in the darkroom. He spends vast amounts of energy explaining all of his different recipes for printing and toning. If you take your printing seriously, this is a book you shouldn't be without.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent practicum on the art of imaging and developing.......1997-10-15

This is an excellent source of creative insight. I found this book helped me see more creative posibilities. I have tried many of the techniques, especially toning, outlined in this book and found the results very gratifying. In fact, by using the processing technique outlined in this book one of my images won a juried competition. This isn't a book for a beginner in the darkroom, but if you have experience and you are looking for more artistic insights, this is the book to buy.

Book Description

Go to Your Room! is distinctive because it focuses on consequences rather than a general collection of techniques. It tells parents why many consequences don't work and how they can start selecting ones that will actually change their child's behavior. The author polled hundreds of parents to discover what issues were of most concern to them. The information provided for each consequence comes from a variety of sources, including parents, authors, and educators.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A very useful book.......2002-06-06

for most parents. It goes into the why and the how of house rules, consequences, and follow through; very important. The use of natural and logical consequences is explained too. Gives specific examples of misbehaviors and different ways to deal with each. Ways that will TEACH the children why rules are fair or important. Ways that will reinforce your expectations when they decide to test your rules without having to resort to the sad, "Because I Said So." Children sometimes need to be reminded who is in control but the parent needn't be a dictator. If you want to teach your children, this is a good resource. If you like to tell your kids what to do, you probably wouldn't like this book.

5 out of 5 stars "Must" reading for all parents........2000-07-04

Go To Your Room!: Consequences That Teach was written specifically for parents with problems on getting their children to do what they want them to from!

In "D.W., Go to Your Room!" D.W. is playing with her baby sister, Kate, but doesn't want to share her blocks. When she shouts at Kate and threatens to pinch her, she gets sent straight up to her room!

D.W. thinks that this is a very unfair punishment. She compares herself to a "prisoner" and a "servant girl." She even dreams of running away with Grandma Thora. But when D.W. is asked to look after Kate while Mom makes dinner, D.W. realizes just how mean she was.

This is a sweet story for anyone with a younger / baby sibling, or for any Arthur or D.W. fan. Arthur doesn't really feature in this book, though he is seen a few times.

5 out of 5 stars It's Blockalicious.......2006-10-31

In D.W. Go To Your Room! Kate knocks down D.W.'s blocks. Mom says D.W. go to your room! So D.W. stomps up to her room. It reminded me of when my little brother knocked my blocks down. But you should read this book because it's blockalicious. If you like blocks and your brother or sister knocks your blocks down, You will love it!

5 out of 5 stars All Arthur Books Are Treasures But This One Does Something I Particularly Like.......2005-09-12

Here as in all of Mr. Brown's spectacular Arthur series you'll find a fun tale, illustrations you want to keep looking at to find all the little details, and the story of the goings-on in the (mis)adventures of the old familiar characters, but in this one there's something more that's especially neat. After DW gets sent to her room for hurting Baby Kate and generally acting up, she at first broods over what she feels like is her unfair lot in life, and then Brown gets really cool and makes you think about the way a child DW's age experiences time in relation to how an adult does. To DW as to all children, ten minutes banishment is a gulf of quasi-intolerable length and if a grown-up stops to think about that, it's a fairly deep topic, this perception of time.

4 out of 5 stars Sorry Baby Kate.......2003-12-18

When D.W. is playing with her blocks her little sister comes and takes a block and laughs at her. When she takes another one D.W. warns her not to take another one or she'll pinch her and she takes her block back. Kate begins to cry and D.W.'s mother sends her up to her room for 10 minutes until dinner. When D.W. keeps coming out of her room she keeps getting sent back in there. When her mother asks her to watch her sister she realizes how mean she was and hugs Kate. Just then her mother walks in and sees how nice D.W. is being so she lets her come out.
