Book Description
"Green Development is good for business. Tenants, owners, purchasers, and brokers are all becoming more sophisticated and are realizing the financial and social benefits of green product." --Gerald Hines, Chairman of Hines.
Environmentally responsible real estate development makes dollars and sense. Green Development describes an exciting new field in which environmental considerations are viewed as opportunities to create fundamentally better buildings and communities--more comfortable, more efficient, more appealing, and ultimately more profitable.
If you're a developer, architect, planner, contractor, lender, or city official, this book speaks your language. Every stage of the development process is examined in detail: market research, site planning, design, approvals, financing, construction, marketing, and occupancy. Also included are lists of project statistics and contacts, books and other information sources, and development strategies.
Based on 80 case studies drawn from Rocky Mountain Institute's extensive worldwide research and consulting work, Green Development distills proven procedures and practical lessons that work in the real world.

Great Overview.......2007-01-25
An excellent overview of the evolving movement towards green development. The book is somewhat dated and lacks in-depth coverage in some areas. Regardless effectively gets you into the space.
Throughly presents sustainable land development.......1998-12-02
This book throughly presents sustainable real estate development. It answers the basic questions of how, what, when, why and who with text and photos illustrating numerous case studies.
It is written for a wide and concerned audience, composed of real estate professionals, financiers and designers. This book is not technical. It is a conceptual book and guides the reader toward sustainable solutions.
This subject is very large and this book is necessarily a summary, which includes recent projects.
This book does not "preach to the choir". It addresses difficult obstacles to the sustainable development paradigm and provides workable solutions.

Book Description
Designed for your two-semester combined course, the new edition of anatomy and physiology is written to allow instructors the ability to accomplish one goal: to teach anatomy and physiology while fostering the skill of problem solving. Through learning how to solve problems and think critically, students learn A&P based on two themes: the relationship between structure and function, and homeostasis. An effective anatomy and physiology text should involve your students. It should invite them into the subject matter with a clear and interesting foundation, not intimidate or overwhelm. It should stimulate curiosity, promote critical thinking, and perhaps most importantly, it should teach students how to apply their knowledge throughout their professional careers. The fifth edition of Anatomy & Physiology accomplishes all of this and more.
Customer Reviews:
A&P.......2007-10-03
Unfortunately the class that I bought this text for is only for the Physiology side and I don't use the Anatomy content at all. As for the Physiology content I think that they do a very good job of explaining complex concepts in a simple student-friendly way.
it was required for me so i bought it.......2007-03-10
goood book, well organized, but guys its A&P. freaking hard
great product!.......2006-11-10
i recieved this book in brand new conditions just as promised! i am completly satisfied with the book!! i also recieved it in a timely matter.
Professor thought all wrong!.......2006-06-15
Although my professor thought most of the information in the textbook was wrong, it was a great guide to use both online and in class. Great illustrations!
Not Recommended.......2006-05-21
I bought this book for my Anatomy and Physiology 1 class in college. It was the required book for the class and the first semester we were using it. Upon going through we found numerous problems with information in the book. For example, there is an illustration of a reflex on page 419 and the foot is on backwards (according to the direction of the spinal cord). This is only one of many, many small problems with the book.
I do however give it two stars because the website accompanying the book gives a lot of explanations for each chapter with videos to better see what the chapter talks about.
If you're getting this book for independent study I recommend something else because this book has a lot of information that is wrong and you won't know to correct it. If you have a teacher who can point out the little qualms with this book, go for it but buy at your own risk.

Customer Reviews:
a MUST-HAVE for all artists.......2006-11-26
This is the most classical,most essential anatomy book for artists that has ever been created.And yet nobody can compete with BAMMES.If you have that book feel secure-you have the tools-practice is the rest.
AN EXCELLENT ANATOMICAL BOOK FOR FINE ARTS.......2000-01-29
I'm teacher of Artistic Anatomy in Seville (Spain), and I would like to found an Spanish or English translatión of this book, because I have a germany edition (And I don't Know a word in this language). It seems a complete book, both text and images. So if you may give me some information about how I can get it in Spanish (I believe that not exist), or in English (in second place more easy for me), I would thanks you send me the way.
An essential reference for beginners to experts........1997-10-01
Bammes has put together one of the greatest collections of figure drawings in this book. Whether you're just beginning to tackle the problems of life drawing or you're an expert at translating the human anatomy to paper, this book should be positioned next to your sketching pads at all times. Not only does Bammes explain how artists might attack a problem, he uses illustrations from variety of sources. This is especially valuable because while readers see the artists solutions, many varieties of styles and mediums are represented. Drawings include simple gestural figure composed of a few graphite marks to complex figures with shadings and highlights. Because this is such a big thick book, readers can be sure that the human figure is explored from almost every angles. The variety of styles may also serve as points of inspiration. The Artist's Guide to Human Anatomy is not quite the artists' bible, but it's just as essential.

Book Description
Upper, middle-level combined anatomy and physiology text for full year course. Learning system is designed to challenge students to think critically and understand relationships between structure, function, and body systems.
Customer Reviews:
an excellent book for premed students.......2001-01-06
For someone who is initially exposed to anatomy and physiology (even basic histology and embryology!), it's quite readable and understable. It even makes this complicated subject much fun. Colorful graphics and diagrams help describe concepts and processes more precisely and interestingly. You'll love physiology after reading it. "No, I don't think so" will probably be your answer when your classmates comment that physiology is too hard and dull. Fairly economical purchase of a combined anatomy and physiology text.
Very practice book............2000-06-19
This book is very practice for students who study medicine (anatomy and physiology)... Students will find detailed information about physiology and anatomy of human body (brain, heart, kidney... and about intracellular transfer, ATP...) really, it's very good book!

Book Description
Combining art and science, this indispensable reference focuses on the skeleton's impact on the external form and the attachments of the muscular system. Over 70 accurate illustrations — standing and in motion — cover everything from the neck, head, trunk, limbs, hand, and foot to details of the face.
Book Description
Designed as a guide for students, The Art of Examining and Interpreting Histologic Preparations: A Student Handbook provides instruction on the examination and interpretation of tissue sections seen under the light microscope. Professor Krause's clear, expert narrative explains how to break down, examine, and interpret each tissue or organ and presents a systematic method that can be used to examine histological preparations. The handbook covers what to look for when making sketches, how to examine histologic preparations, cytology, and the basic tissue types. Each chapter contains space for sketches and labels and encourages the creation of a personalized atlas within the handbook.
Download Description
The examination and interpretation of tissue sections seen under the light microscope in a laboratory setting is an example of student-directed, independent problem solving. The proper reading of a histologic section is an acquired art that can only be developed through practice, close observation and repetition. This laboratory manual was designed as a guide for students to aid them in this endeavor. The laboratory study guide/manual was designed to be used as a supplement to any current textbook and/or atlas of Histology. Learning objectives provide the overall goals for each chapter. The narrative of the study guide explains how to systematically breakdown, examine and interpret each tissue and/or organ encountered, without regard to a given histologic slide from a specific slide collection. Thus, this systematic method can be used to examine and interpret histologic preparations from any collection or of any species. The student is encouraged to sketch, label and create a personalized atlas while using this laboratory manual as a guide. The vocabulary that should be developed and used during the laboratory can be found quickly by going to the bold face type in the appropriate segment of the text. Each chapter contains one or more tables in which key structures used in the identification of a tissue/organ are presented, offering the briefest possible summary of important histologic features. As a final short review, an appendix provides summary tables that compare and contrasts the basic differences of several structures that are somewhat similar in general architecture.
