Kompakte, systematische Einführung in die Grundlagen der Tages- und Kunstlichtplanung Mehr als jedes verwendete Material bestimmt das Licht Raumwirkungen, erzeugt Stimmungen, inszeniert Architektur. In gut belichteten Räumen fühlen wir uns wohl und sind leistungsfähig, Licht fördert die Gesundheit. Darüber hinaus trägt eine sinnvolle Tages- und darauf abgestimmte Kunstlichtplanung - gerade in Bürogebäuden - wesentlich zur Energieeinsparung bei. Zusammengestellt von erfahrenen Fachautoren aus Praxis und Lehre, bietet der neue Band der Reihe Detail Praxis wichtige Grundlagen zur Tages- und Kunstlichtplanung. Neben einfachen Planungsregeln wie Grundrissgestaltung, Gebäudeorientierung und Fassadengliederung werden aktuelle Tages- und Kunstlichtsysteme vorgestellt und an Beispielprojekten erläutert.

Tipping Points as evidenced in global events are, in many ways, influenced by media. This just released, ground-breaking book GLOBAL EVENTS: TIPPING POINTS by Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D, details three case studies which were selected on the basis of common Tipping Point Attributes. Each involved media contagiousness and stickiness during their development and each arrived at a "dramatic moment in time," which could be characterized by the phenomenon of Tipping Points. Recent GLOBAL EVENTS: TIPPING POINTS Case Studies: The 2008 Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama was chosen to examine a narrower scope and timeframe for the application of the analysis. The International Financial Crisis of 2007-2010, involves a broader data study period to identify trends and more complex issues. And the Climate Change study is included for consideration as the research and analysis revealed critical relationships between media impact and global events. As the issue of Climate Change is still evolving, Dr Gordon provides a Global Events: Tipping Point Theory methodology for analyzing and predicting our planets' most pressing global issue. Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D was awarded his doctorate (with high honors) from the Centre d'Etudes Diplomatiques et Strategiques (CEDS) Paris, France and graduated with his masters while on a full fellowship from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. He currently lives in Burgundy, France with his wife and two sons. Review Comments: "The genius of the formulation of GLOBAL EVENTS: TIPPING POINTS is that it takes explicit account of the role of social media and the internet at facilitating bifurcations and promoting dynamical instability. In effect, we have trimmed a few feet of tail off the kite. As a reader, I was informed and educated as to the factors which conspire to influence stability / instability in complex social systems. ...the book does a good job of making sense of past bifurcations and dynamical instabilities, namely political instability, our perception of global climate change, and international economic crises ... my compliments on a truly insightful Global Events: Tipping Points." - Prof. Dr. (med.) Peter S. Geissler, A.B., B.S., M.S., M.Phil., Ph.D. (Yale) M.A., M.Eng., M.S., Ph.D., M.S., M.D., M.Phil.(Cantab) "The application of the tipping point theory to media and global events, particularly, Global Events: Tipping Points...the financial crisis and climate change), is a fascinating one." - Dr. Serge Besanger, PhD Expert, International Monetary Fund ..".very interesting application (of the Tipping Point Theory)...potential opportunity for predicting other global events, i.e.: Egyptian crisis and perhaps, even terrorism activities." - Dr. Adam AJLANI, PhD Professor, Sciences Politic and Political Consultant, France TV1 ..".a mass undertaking (very motivated) of how (we) as a society can become aware of future global events, particularly Climate Change. Excellent!" - Dr. Derek EL ZEIN, PhD Professor, Avocat, Expert: Communications "A truly fascinating book that (teaches) a whole new way of thinking about major events and how the media can influence them. Being a political junkie I was heavily into the media coverage of the 2008 Obama election and the global financial meltdown both via TV and the blogosphere. I now find myself looking for the tipping points and stickiness factors as other key events unfold. Usually, I have trouble reading theoretical books but this one was an easy read and if you want supporting data then the references are there. This could become a solid reference for those in the media who truly want to understand what they are reporting. Highly recommended and I look forward to Dr. Gordon's ongoing analysis of (future) events." - Dr. Ralph Moorhouse, PhD Political junkie, Expert: natural polymers for industries

Lighting Design Awareness is a refreshingly new approach for the undefined trade practice of landscape lighting design. This book is the first of a three-part series dedicated to the advancement of this artform. It introduces the foundational building block of 'composition.' Never before has this profession considered this line of thinking or to this extent. It also describes the common flaws exhibited today. Additionally, it teaches designers how to use a design critique as a tool and means towards developing practical skills. Consider the following, simple questions...Are your lighting designs effective? And...Are you recognized by your peers? Each of these is telling about well you are performing today. There are many highly skilled practitioners performing this work who provide wonderful lighting applications. Of these, there are very few who can ensure a 'good' lighting design based on the principles of composition. For this reason, the landscape lighting design profession is not taken seriously, as compared to those working in landscape architecture, lighting design, and architecture--this is a problem. This book series establishes the proper understanding of this trade, as an art form. Our value and contribution to society will be seen by the positive solutions we can provide to human well-being. The only way to gain this level of respect and recognition is by being able to perform to this new, and higher standard. This series is a must-have for anyone serious about this discipline. Not only is this content good for the landscape lighting profession, but it's also valuable to any segment of the lighting and architectural communities.
