Customer Reviews:
Excellent reference guide for IBC code.......2007-03-16
I am a registered architect, and purchased this book for the purpose of studying for the NCIDQ interior design licensing exam. I had no idea how clearly, simply, and comprehensively it would cover the IBC code (and some others). I'm sure it will be an asset for my NCIDQ preparation, but even more so, I have been able to reference it for my architecture practice.
GREAT BOOK!
Codes are Fun!.......2005-09-23
Could studying building codes actually be fun? Much to my surprise, when you combine this book with the companion study guide workbook it is. The author presents the information on the codes clearly and in logical order. I am studying for my NCIDQ exam and was really nervous about the "codes questions" until I got this book.
The Codes Guidebook for Interiors- professional peer review.......2005-09-23
I own each of the 3 editions of this book, and have found the information to be a well source of sound, practical advise concerning the application of codes as they relate to interior projects. I am an Interior Designer and I refer to my copy of Codes Guidebook for Interiors regularly for projects I am involved in. This book and the companion study guide are part of the recommended resources for studying and preparing for the NCIDQ examination. I believe this book should be a part of every commercial practitioners library, whether they be an architect or interior designer.
Informative.......2000-02-15
The Codes Guidebook for Interiors is a simple, straight forward guide to understanding how building codes regulate design. The guidebook builds a chapter by chapter systematic approach to code research and application that can be followed by every practictioner regardless of building locale.

Product Description
Más que un indio: "More than an Indian." Two decades ago, the phrase expressed a common-sense prescription for upward mobility in a racist society: to better themselves, Indians had to abandon their culture and identity. Ironically, today it captures the predicament of ladinos, members of Guatemalas dominant culture. In the 1990s, Maya people organized in diverse ways to challenge racism and achieve basic rights.They achieved a broad recognition of their cultural rights during the same time that neoliberal economic reforms carried the day.The resulting "neoliberal multiculturalism" has opened important spaces for indigenous empowerment while recreating Guatemala's racial hierarchy. The author examines this paradox through the eyes of provincial ladinos, who show growing respect for indigenous culture and support for equality while harboring deep anxieties about the prospect of Maya ascendancy. Their racial ambivalence embodies a desire to be free of racism without ceasing to benefit from ingrained racial privilege, epitomized by the belief that ladinos are "más que un indio." This deeply researched and sensitively rendered study raises troubling questions about the contradictions of anti-racist politics and the limits of multiculturalism in Guatemala and, by implication, other countries in the midst of similar reform projects.

Book Description
In Spanish. One of the great classics of nineteenth-century Argentine prose, and one of the finest and subtlest books ever written on an American frontier -both North and South-, Lucio V. Mansilla's "Una excursión…" was first published in Argentina in 1870 and is one of very few works in American letters that presents a vivid, firsthand account of a noncombative encounter between Native American and European civilizations. Colonel Mansilla, widely traveled and cultured aristocrat was an exception among his contemporaries, as he advocated for an open dialogue as best approach to the "Indian problem". In the end the peace accord he sought to enact with the Ranquels was summarily disregarded by the Argentine government, which slowly gravitated towards a policy of ethnic cleansing and expropriation of Indian lands. Mansilla humourously calls his expedition an "excursion", elegantly downplaying the jest of visiting belligerant natives in largely unknown areas of the Argentine interior. His careful observations offer valuable ethnographic data, as Argentina's Indians were almost totally extinguished or assimilated soon after. Mansilla's work both in this account and elsewhere made him a leading figure in the Argentina "Generation of 1880," a group crucial in the development of Argentine literary and intellectual life.
Customer Reviews:
Charming peaceful conquest.......2003-01-25
Argentinian President Sarmiento sent this soldier, L.V. Mansilla (1831-1913), son of an important General, as a chief of the border against the Indians in Río Cuarto, southwards of Córdoba in 1869. The events he lived in those days made this book, first published in 1877. He's got a gift for narrative and he describes, mixing anecdotes and witty sentences, his peaceful task in Indian land. Two monks, four officers and a group of soldiers went with him. This book achieved a prize in the International Geographical Congress in Paris.

Book Description
El franciscano conocido como Motolinía por su vida sencilla y pobre, nació en Zamora España a finales del siglo XV y murió en México, después de haber desarrollado una inmensa labor evangelizadora. Consagró toda su vida a los indios de México y Guatemala a los que amó profundamente y defendió de la injusticia con la que eran tratados. En 1536 escribió La historia de los indios de la Nueva España donde relata escrupulosamente la historia de la conversión y las costumbres, los ritos y la cultura de los indios. Su obra es una de las más importantes para el conocimiento de la etnografía y la vida en el México de la conquista. La Historia de los indios de la Nueva España, fue editada en 1848 (lord Kingsborough publicó algunos fragmentos). La primera edición íntegra apareció en 1858. Motolinia narra la historia de la conversión y las costumbres y modo de vivir, ritos y cultura de los indígenas. Esta es una de las fuentes principales sobre la etnografía y la civilización de México en la época de la conquista. Aunque defiende la Conquista censura los abusos de los colonos.
