I bought this book to have an idea of the Farnsworth house, but it is much more detailled that i ever imagined. An essencial Mies.

Book Description

Mies van der Rohe erbaute 1945–50 das Wochenendhaus "Farnsworth House” in Plano, Illinois. Das Glas- und Stahlhaus liegt an einem Fluß in natürlicher Umgebung und besticht durch seine klaren Proportionen und die Reduktion auf das Nötige. Es nimmt unmittelbaren Bezug zu der umliegenden Landschaft. Werner Blaser, Mitarbeiter Mies van der Rohes, liefert eine sorgfältige, von persönlichen Erfahrungen geprägte Beschreibung dieses Hauses. Neben Erläuterungen zu Architektur und Technik werden persönliche Erlebnisse mit Mies van der Rohe und Eindrücke Peter Palumbos, ehemaliger Bewohner des "Farnsworth House”, eingebracht. Teilweise unpublizierte Fotos, welche über einen Zeitraum von mehreren Jahrzehnten hinweg von Blaser aufgenommen wurden, vermitteln einen umfassenden Eindruck von diesem Gebäude.

5 out of 5 stars Black and white photos work very well.......2007-05-12

I love the Fansworth House but I've not been there yet. The book shows us full of images of the masterpiece and takes us into the house imaginarily. Black and white photos work very much and some Mies's drawings are also helpful to understand how the house was beyond the notions. It is still quite new and less is more, of course.

                5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2000-04-09

                I highly recommend this very readable book. It spans the effects of Pre-Raphaelitism in America through the second half of the nineteenth century. It gives solid background information about the main figures involved in this exchange between America and Britain. It is obvious Dr. Casteras has done extensive research sifting through letters and articles from the nineteenth century. The book also includes an examination of American artists working in a Pre-Raphaelite style. This is a shaky topic to consider as these artists were influenced by styles other than Pre-Raphelitism. Although some of these artists have been called American Pre-Raphaelites, it is a precarious label. However, it does seem necessary to the book. Overall: readable and informative!

                4 out of 5 stars The Best We've Got, But...........2001-09-07

                Wide Screen Movies : A History and Filmography of Wide Gauge Filmmaking by the prolific R.M. Hayes (with Robert E. Carr getting first billing) is without a doubt the finest book we have on the subject. It is comprehensive, detailed-minded, excellent on most primary wide screen technical process...But this is not a book for the casual reader, or any one looking for interesting anecdotes about the history of film making.

                Further, although technically obsessive with some processes, particularly Cinerama in all its manifestations, the work becomes a bit diffuse and vague on the interesting history of Todd-AO, a wide screen, single projection system introduced to display Michael Todd's major event film, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS. Todd-AO went from a film process to a distribution company to a holding company. I may be vague here, but I was hoping to get the full story about this transformation in the book--and I didn't.

                Neither will you get a comprehensive history of the experimentation with wide screen and 3D Cinema in Russia. The film NAPOLEON--which introduced a variety of new technologies early in the history of film certainly does not get its due--nor an accurate description of the "hanging blind system" (similar to the original Cinerama) designed for this film which is also reported in other sources to have had true 3D effects when viewed in a limited area of the audience. A short monologue could be written on this film, and filmography is not the center of attention in this fine bibliographic work.

                The world of wide screen film is an exciting universe including determined businessmen, unusual corporate histories and strategies, and vivid audience experiences.

                For a world so colorful and panoramic, this comprehensive guide is rather dry and lackluster where it could have shined. Further, the work is occasionally confusing and uneven--as if the authors ran out of creative steam along the way. This book better serves as a guide and reference work than an interesting social or cultural history. And the topic cries out for that additional focus.

                I recommend the book highly--but beware its limitations as well as the work's strengths. Other reviewers have been more dazzled by the encyclopedic scope and listings of the book, than concerned with the work as an integrated reading experience--which it is not.

                A cultural, anecdotal history of panoramic cinema, and "road show" and "event" filmaking remains to be written.

                5 out of 5 stars The book contains a plethora of useful information........1999-09-14

                I found this book a vital necessity for any one studying the mechanics of the film industry. I use it often as my most vital reference book.

                3 out of 5 stars The most error riddled, misinformation compilation ever........1997-01-11

                When facts are unknown to the authors, they show no reluctance to invent history based on totally illogical trains of thought. The illustrations are good. For your own safety, don't quote this book to anyone who knows anything about film technology

                Book Description

                The comprehensive introduction to the art and science of locating facilities to make your organization more efficient, effective, and profitable. For the professional siting facilities, the task of translating organizational goals and objectives into concrete facilities requires a working familiarity with the theoretical and practical fundamentals of facility location planning and modeling. The first hands-on guide to using and developing facility location models, Network and Discrete Location offers a practiceoriented introduction to model-building methods and solution algorithms, complete with software to solve classical problems of realistic size and end-of-chapter exercises to enhance the reader's understanding. The text introduces the reader to the key classical location problems (covering, center, median, and fixed charge) which form the nucleus of facility location modeling. It also discusses real-life extensions of the basic models used in locating: production and distribution facilities, interacting services and facilities, and undesirable facilities. The book outlines a host of methodological tools for solving location models and provides insights into when each approach is useful and what information it provides. Designed to give readers a working familiarity with the basic facility location model types as well as an intuitive knowledge of the uses and limits of modeling techniques, Network and Discrete Location brings students and professionals alike swiftly from basic theory to technical fluency.

                I am a PhD student in Operations Management and this is one of the best books in Location Management. Very clear and very precise, I did not need a class to understand the material. Its definitely a must for any body who wants a background on Location Models

                4 out of 5 stars Comprehensive math model of location and network.......2000-09-04

                This is the 2nd best book after Ahuja et.al. book (Network Flows : Theory, Algorithms, and Applications, 1993). As I said, it's the 2nd best book -so don't be surprised if you found Ahuja's book more useful. However, Daskin did good job to compile both location and network analysis in a single text book. We can see many issues in these areas in this book. I'd love to see more integration both math model and algorithm in this book though. If you don't have Ahuja's book, you may wanna grasp one (it's out-of-stock) before getting this book. However, if you are new to do research in location and network, grasp Daskin's book. You won't be disappointed with this book!

                  Book Description

                  This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of spatial industrial clusters and inter-firm networks. Given the prevailing political belief that clusters can be a major vehicle for economic development and growth, it is important to have a sound understanding of clusters and how they emerge, grow, eventually stagnate and disappear. It is also vital to know when and how to apply policy measures to support cluster development in order to increase economic welfare. This book illuminates both the theoretical and empirical issues relating to clusters and inter-firm networks, and presents a number of interesting case studies from a variety of different countries. The authors study a number of important issues including interaction within and between clusters, the spatial dimensions and characteristics of this interaction, the factors which contribute to cluster formation, and the conditions and policies conducive to the development and sustainability of successful clusters. They also investigate whether firms in clusters perform better than those that are excluded, and illustrate how the importance of clusters can vary significantly between different industries. The authors go on to address the role of clusters in knowledge spillovers and their implications for the functioning of the overall economy, and highlight the effect of new information and communications technologies on cluster configurations and operations. Regional economists, economic geographers and regional scientists will welcome this comprehensive new volume. It will also be a useful reference tool for policymakers and planners involved in industrial and regional economic development.

                    Book Description

                    This book presents the results of Cleverbio, a project funded by the European Commission. The project examined the process of growth and development of clusters in the biotech industry, identifying and studying the main driving forces. The empirical work involved in-depth analysis of five clusters at different stages of development: Cambridge, the most important cluster in Europe; Heidelberg, one of the strongest in Germany; Aarhus in Denmark; Marseille in France; and Milano in Italy at an early stage of development. Other clusters were also analysed, such as Paris-Evry (France), Uppsala (Sweden), Biovalley (Switzerland), Bay Area and San Diego (US). The ultimate aim of Cleverbio has been to build a normative model that incorporates:

                    · the preconditions for a cluster to grow (scientific base and/or industrial base, innovative financing, etc.); · the driving forces for cluster growth and development, i.e. the key factors of development (new company creation, IP rules, acceptance of biotech products, services and infrastructures, etc.);

                    · best practices in cluster management (barrier removal, network creation, marketing, technology transfer, etc.).

                    The book also identifies different forms of cluster creation. In some cases clusters were born and grew spontaneously as a consequence of the original co-presence of the key success factors (spontaneous clusters); in other cases they were born of the actions of public actors (industry restructuring and industry development policies). Finally, in a few cases, the process of clustering started as a result of a combination of different original conditions (hybrid clusters).

                      Book Description

                      This book provides the first unifying analysis of the range of economic reasons for the clustering of firms and households. Its goal is to explain further the trade-off between various forms of increasing returns and different types of mobility costs. The main focus of the analysis is on cities, but it also explores the formation of other agglomerations, such as commercial districts within cities, industrial clusters at the regional level, and the existence of imbalance between regions.

                        Book Description

                        Based on over twenty years of experience, the author of this practical guide provides the executive with a comprehensive discussion of the issues and tools involved in the location or relocation of a business operation. A company's search for the ideal site is one of the most important managerial functions. The firm may need to expand for the development of new products, new markets, or additional production capacity. In some cases, a new location may be needed to house newly developed production equipment or to obtain higher efficiency and reduced operating costs. Other reasons include security, lower labor cost, and access to raw materials. Whatever the reason, a well-defined plan and detailed analysis program will aid and simplify the process. The author walks the reader through each stage in the process, from planning the move, organizing and administering the search, and selecting the general area to evaluating a specific community and site and assembling a final report. The book provides helpful tables and survey samples, making it easier to utilize the information effectively. Besides executives involved in the process, economic development specialists and students will find the book useful.

                            Book Description

                            This book ties together history, legislation and economics to create an awareness of what chances an individual will have when he selects a location for a plant. Key costs are discussed including those mandated by the environment and by legislation. The impact of cultures, both past and present, upon the opportunity for economic success are reviewed. It is a "How To" and a "Beware" presentation of plant location, both domestic and international.

                            The book is designed to provide chief executive officers, manufacturing vice presidents, chief engineers and engineers a checklist of things to do in analyzing a potential plant site. It is also designed to provide state and local industrial development staffs’ guidance in their efforts to obtain industry. New entrepreneurs will find this book to be useful in making presentations to financial agencies.

                            The do's and don'ts of plant location are dealt with from both the current and historical prospective. The impact of legislation upon manufacturing costs and thereby industry location is covered by both current and past examples.

                            Examples of failed locations from both industry and site planners perspectives are provided. The book shows how to choose the best location in a country through arraying the basic economic and social facts in an orderly manner. Both tangible and intangible cost analysis and factor weighting are covered. Included are the impact of customs, legal systems, ways of doing business upon costs, management style and plant efficiency.

                            Current legislation's potential impact upon plant location is evaluated. This review includes GATT, NAFT A, CBI and other international direct and indirect influences on markets and costs. Also the present and potential impact of OSHA, ADA, EPA and other national mandates is covered.

                                Book Description

                                Clustering as an economic policy concern has become increasingly fashionable. The authors of this book shed light on this subject on which there remains remarkably little understanding, and even less agreement, regarding what clusters are, what they require for success and what impacts they are likely to have in different contexts, locally, nationally and globally.

                                Clusters and Globalisation brings together scholars with different perspectives and theoretical groundings, and from different disciplines, to consider conceptual arguments and case study material. In doing so the volume identifies key characteristics and requirements of the forms of cluster that are especially significant for the attainment of economic success in a globalizing world.

                                This unique critical analysis of clusters in the framework of globalization will strongly appeal to students and academics with an interest in economic development, public policy and globalization. The book will also be of great interest to researchers in policy agencies concerned with local economic development and the design of cluster policies.
