Book Description
"..the book is an excellent source of inspiration, and will hopefully contribute to better design and construction of buildings" -- BUILDING ENGINEER
As part of Daylight Europe the daylighting behavior of 60 buildings was observed and measured during a three-year period. Buildings of many different types, sizes and ages were included -- from offices to museums, libraries, churches, houses, airports and factories; from Classical buildings to modern constructions and from a small single room to an office of over 100,000 square meters.
The results of the study of each building are presented, extensively illustrated in color, with the unusual features and main lessons highlighted. The book also includes details of the monitoring procedures, the results of and comparison with simulations, the outcome of post-occupancy evaluation and a summary of the major findings.
These show the extraordinary potential of daylighting techniques to improve amenity and energy performance for the benefit of the occupants and building managers. They also demonstrate how often opportunities are missed, and the frequency of problems of overheating or glare. Above all, they demonstrate the beauty, elegance and scope of daylight design.

Description:
Daylight represents a free source of illumination of building's internal spaces. For the right and optimal use of this resource, in addition to the resort to some simple designing expedients that can be brought back to the practice of ''building in a workmanlike manner'', it is possible to adopt specific devices able to improve the sunlight captation. Among these devices a class that presents a very interesting compromise between simplicity of realization, costs and daylighting performances is represented by the so-called ''light pipes''. Light pipes usually work by means of a device placed on an external closing element which attends to collect, redirect and in some cases, concentrate or collimate the incident luminous flux, and a device situated inside the environments able to transport the daylight inwards the building and distribute it into the deep zone of the rooms so as to obtain a better illuminance distribution. In this work, we propose a light pipe equipped with a flat captation system suitable to be integrated in a building's facade, without any protrusion as to the architectural envelope. This system includes: a planar closing element, a sunlight's collecting and deflecting device that optimizes the direction of the incoming solar rays as the solar position varies, a rectilinear duct with optical properties suitable for the transport of the sunlight and for its introduction into the room that has to be illuminated. The daylighting performances are simulated in different conditions of external illuminance and it is done an assessment of the lighting energy savings in a test room simulating a class room. At the end, some considerations and applying indications useful for the designer are presented.

Description:
Light pipes are simple means of directing daylight (diffuse and direct light) into interior spaces. Previous work by the authors described the initial work on a luminous flux and illuminance predictive model for straight light pipes, using a basic equation for illuminance distribution as a function of horizontal distance. Further work has now produced a model that uses the cosine law of illuminance to describe the distribution of light from the light pipe diffuser as well as takes into account pipe elbow pieces or bends. The resulting illuminance model can be described as a quartic cosine model. By producing a ''luxplot'' prediction for any given light pipe application, it is possible to maximise the potential of these daylight providers and design their configuration to suit any given need. As part of this study, wide-ranging illuminance and luminous flux data were collected both for the formulation of this model (as the formula is semi-empirical) and its validation.

Description:
The objective of this paper is to assess the capability of existing lighting simulation methods to predict the performance of Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS), whose potential in daylight and sunlight control make them an increasingly popular alternative to conventional glazing. The research was conducted in two phases. First, collect reliable reference data by taking illuminance measurements inside a black-box under a measured and controlled external luminance distribution, the black-box's only aperture being covered with a complex glazing sample. Two types of materials were used: a Serraglaze(TM) element and a Laser Cut Panel (LCP). Several simulation methods were then investigated and validated against this reference case. For the first method, measured BTDF for both material samples were integrated into different simulation tools to determine the resulting indoor lighting conditions under the external luminance distribution chosen for the reference case. The same method was then applied with calculated BTDF data, based on ray-tracing calculations. Finally, one of the CFS (the LCP) was modeled using the backward ray-tracer RADIANCE so that the inside illuminance distribution could be deduced without requiring BTDF data. The comparison between the experimental reference data and the simulation results showed that the effect of the CFS on the room's illumination could be predicted with acceptable accuracy for most of the tested methods (generally within 10-20%). The simplicity of the testing scenarios allowed error sources related to simulation to be highlighted and helped determine the extent to which an accurate physical description of the samples could influence the results. Based on this study, recommendations were made for a better use of existing simulation methods.

Description:
PV ventilated glazing technology for application in warm climate provides energy saving opportunities through the reduction in air-conditioning load, the daylight utilization, and the green electric power generation. In a working environment, the use of semi-transparent a-Si glazing is deemed better than the one with non-transparent c-Si solar cells. This paper reports an evaluation of its integrated performance using a small office room in Hong Kong as an example. An energy model of a PV ventilated window system is first introduced. Based on this together with the TMY weather data of Hong Kong and the daylight simulation capability of the EnergyPlus program, the overall performance analysis have been executed for different window orientations. It was found that a solar cell transmittance in the range of 0.45-0.55 could achieve the best electricity saving.

Description:
The quality and quantity of natural light entering a building depends on both internal and external factors. In Hong Kong, many buildings are high-rise blocks constructed close to each other and hence the external factor plays a significant role in daylighting designs. This paper studies the daylighting performance and energy use for residential flats facing large sky obstructions via computer simulations. Key building parameters affecting daylighting designs are presented. The daylighting performance for typical interior rooms was investigated in terms of illuminance level and daylight factor. The daylight levels of residential flats can be severely reduced by neighboring buildings and hence the externally reflected component would be the main source of natural light. The indoor daylight levels for kitchen and living/dining faced large neighboring building were found always less than the standard maintenance illuminance during daytime period. These imply that many residential flats in Hong Kong would have to rely on supplementary electric lighting.
Book Description
A new classic from one of the world's most respected sailing authors
More than 35 years ago, Hal Roth quit his job as a journalist and went sailing. Since then, he's logged more than 200,000 sea miles. Along the way, Roth also has authored eight voyaging classics, including the 1978 bestseller After 50,000 Miles.
Taking that book as its starting point, this handsome new volume incorporates the new technologies and discoveries of the last quarter century along with another 150,000 miles of experience.
A compendium of mature, time-tested sea wisdom from one of the world's most respected sailing writers, How to Sail Around the World will tell the reader:
- How to choose and equip a sailboat for long-distance cruising, with an emphasis on simplicity and a modest budget
- How to plan and conduct a voyage anywhere in the world
- How to master the arts of navigation, anchoring, and daily life aboard in exotic places
- How to cope with storms at sea--the most complete and authoritative treatise on this critical topic ever published

Sailing Around The World Made It Easy .......2007-05-14
Recently I've bought a book from Amazon com. "How To Sail Around The World" by Hal Ruth its an excellent book every thing you need to know about this topic is mentioned in details a lot of photos and sketches.
The book got 29 chapters each chapter have a heading such as:- To find a yacht suitable for the voyage in full details- The best self-steering to choose with digrams explains its operation and you could build one from the diagrams if you wish- Storm management- Navigation and pilot charts as well the place where to buy these charts and their referance numbers and many many more topics covered in the 29 chapters of this book.
The style and the way this book is written is marvellous once you start reading it you don't feel like to stop. In my view Its an excellent book highly recommended to buy.

Bluewater sailor.......2007-04-13
Well writen. Clear and practical. Author share his great experience sailing around the world in a small sailboat and little money. Very good ideas and advises...as a bluewater sailor (30'sailboat) I found myself making changes in my boat that make my life easier out there.
The Great Voyage.......2007-04-12
Sailors of all experience levels will learn from one man's experience cruising around the world. You'll also learn why some things work, and others don't.
5 STARS ( ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET!).......2007-02-02
I've read a number of Mr. Roth's books.His writing skill is excellent.His photography is superb.His knowledge of sailing is that of a true grandmaster.This book has tips for cruising sailers on any level of experience:what works and why; what didn't work for Him and His incredible partner & wife and why.No plans for an around the world cruise is needed to get this book and pick it up often. Much of the great info is valid for most any overlight sail, or any daysail on our great magestic oceans ,lakes or rivers.His humility is gratifying. He's been out there and done that (a thousand times),but He doesn't have to keep showing us His "medals"in every paragraph. His Bibliography and references at the end are a great source to what else is worth exploring in the world of print.If you sail- get this book!
How to Sail Around the World : Advice and Ideas for Voyaging Under Sail.......2007-01-10
Great reading covering all aspects of cruising, although some ideas seem somewhat "old-fashioned". The book is never the less full of great ideas and advise for anyone wanting to set out on an extended voyage. Highly recommended.

Frommer's Again?.......2000-07-04
I tried desperatly to purchase any other guidebook on Ireland other than Frommer's and Fodor's. But after an exhausting search Frommer's wins again: It has information found only in Frommer's. Reviews more variety of lodging and dining. Helps with ideas on side trips and day trips. Gives just enough inside information to help you make an informed decision on where to go stay and do. For an overview of Ireland, you can't go wrong with Frommer's. For more in depth on a single area.....You will need to do more research. Likewise, if you have a specific reason for the trip i.e. windsurfing or gaelic music a different format may help you. But for basic advice on travel Frommer's is hard to beat.
Great travel guide for Ireland.......2000-06-26
During an extended stay in Ireland I've used the guide a great deal for many different parts of the island, with an emphasis on the Dublin area. The maps of city centers are wonderful, the highlighted attractions are always as advertised, and the restaurant listings have been very reliable. It offers a great deal of depth, and the format makes it easy to find day trips from various cities you may be staying in.
It's well worth noting that the hotel rates listed are generally rack rates, and you will frequently find them much lower when you call.
Friends I've loaned the book to have agreed that it's the best one for the area that they've used. I'd recommend it highly to anyone considering a visit. Just don't forget your rain gear.

Jessica loves a surfer and dates Ken Matthews.......2005-05-09
When Palisades and Sweet Valley have a rivalry between basketball games,Elizabeth and Enid meet Marla Daniels and Caitlin Alexander. They write for the Palisades Penegon[sp] While surfing,Jessica meets Christian Gorman,a gorgeous Palisades surfer,and she she's sufing with him and dating him and Ken Matthews at the same time. Palisades and Sweet Valley have a masquerade ball.
Da Bomb!.......2001-11-13
This book was da bomb!:) I really love it! You should read it too. It's so exciting that you don't want to put the book down. It's a romantic book I've ever read of Sweet Valley High. I hope you will read it too.
Can't get enough of Sweet Valley High!.......2001-06-23
I just love the Sweet Valley High books. This one is called IN LOVE WITH THE ENEMY, and it's book #1 in the 'Betrayel' saga. In this one, Jessica falls in love with the wrong guy (as usual). She's dating Sweet Valley High's quarterback star, Ken Matthews. But then she falls for hot and sexy Christain Gorman, when he teaches her how to surf. Little does Jessica know that Christain is the the leader of Palisades High's most violent gang - and they're biggest rivals is Sweet Valley High! It's very exciting and romantic. Definitely one to pick up and read if you're a Sweet Valley High fan or enjoy reading romantic/tragedies. Awesome read! Solidly written.
I luved this book!.......1999-07-09
I really liked this book, but something was missing. Why does what happens have to happen? It's unfair. And about Ken and Jessica...if Jessica doesn't care for Ken anymore, why not tell him instead of cheating on him! And Christian. He really loves Jessica. Even when he finds out Jessica has a boyfriend and was going out with Ken while going out with him he still loves her. That not a high-school sweetheart. That's not a little-kids crush. That's love. Real love. And Christian is SO caring. So sweet. But Ken is to. This book is great, but it's weepy when you find out what happened to Christian, something that'll affect Jessica for the rest of her life.
Super!!.......1998-05-13
I loved it!!I could not put my eyes off of it. I can not wait for the end.

Book Description
If the many books that have been written on the subject of relationships were really helpful, the incidence of broken hearts and broken homes would be decreasing. Why, then, is connubial bliss at an all time low? Something is missing from our understanding of the roots of male/female dissatisfaction, and Awakening with the Enemy, a new book by philosopher Mark Dillof, reveals what it is.
Dillof rejects the problem-solving approach to life's difficulties endemic to self-help books and radio psychologists. He explains why the "men are from Mars, women from Venus approach to relationships" ultimately fails, and why no new arrangement of male and female can be significantly better.
The alternative? Rather than seeking to integrate the erotic polarities, Dillof explains how a couple can "awaken" from them. When - due to insight - their former "dance" together evaporates, they have "nothing between them anymore." This sounds negative, but it is really positive. "Nothing between," means that nothing is separating them from each other. Consequently, they are one! Awakening with the Enemy is a guide to using male/female conflict as a route to this new level of unity, one that few people even know exists. Here, then, is a uniquely Western route to Eastern wisdom.

Emotionally liberating self-knowledge.......2001-02-17
Awakening With The Enemy: The Origin And End Of Male/Female Conflict is very highly recommended reading to anyone who has ever sought insight and understand regarding the dissatisfactions that seem endemic in today's marriages and relationships. Mark Dillof, founder of The Philosophy Clinic, Binghamton, New York, rejects the currently popular myths of males and females being inherently so different that mutual understanding and shared, co-equal marital unity is biologically, psychologically unattainable. Awakening With The Enemy is an effective, "reader friendly" guide to using male/female conflict as a route to new levels of unity, a uniquely Western route to Eastern wisdom, a blueprint for transforming life's negatives (conflicts, anxieties, troubling desires, frustrations, heartbreak, despair) into emotionally liberating self-knowledge and a total cessation of gender-based hostilities.
Packed with applicable, practical, effective advice........2000-09-04
Awakening with the Enemy addresses issues of romantic love and mental health, telling the reader how to transform communications with the opposite sex. From the secret of awakening into a mutual new path in life to overcoming common obstacles in the male-female union, this is packed with advice applicable to overall encounters between the sexes.
"Awakening...." is amazing!.......2000-07-11
Dillof has written a highly original book that brings to light the root of the conflicts that underlie modern romance. Awakening With the Enemy successfully walks a fine line; it is erudite while being highly accessible; indeed, engaging. You won't need a PhD from Yale, or even experience reading other books on philosophy, psychology, or eastern religions to benefit greatly from this book. Nor is it simplistic, offering vague generalities that are supposed to cover the entire gamut of human experience in its infinite variety. As Dillof shows, not all men are from Mars, nor are all women from Venus. But no matter what planet they're coming from, men and women are attempting, through their love life as well as through the other activities of life, to attain "completion". "Well, of course, everbody knows that!" you say. The difference in Dillof's book is that he sets out to define exactly WHAT "completion" is, and having done that, shows why it is so elusive, so exasperating to attain, leading us through a maze of different attempted "solutions". Then he maps out the most common of these "solutions" in the arena of relationships.
It is very possible that, while reading this book, you will see yourself and your significant other, being described (as was the case with me). Are you a "Sisyphus" an "action hero" or a "pitbull"? If you're a woman, perhaps you're playing the role of "matriarch" or "princess" or "spitfire". Whatever the case, this book will point you in the direction of moving beyond the tiresome dance that you and your partner are engaged in day in, day out. Highly recommended.
Insights into Masculine and Feminine Dynamics.......2000-07-09
I found this book had a great deal of insight into romantic relationships plus also very interesting observations about popular movies and literature.
There are subtle distinctions made about feminine and masculine forms of consciousness and Mark Dillof points out well some of the paradoxes in how we relate to each other. I am starting to see some of the patterns in my past relationships through using this book as a tool.I have always been attracted to men that I want to "reform" and feel I have much more insight now about this. It never occurred to me before that the musical "Guys and Dolls" as well as the movie "The Godfather" also contains this theme.
What I really like about the book is that it covers many different dynamics between men and women and is not simplistic like so many contemporary psychology books. The author discusses ways we can learn from our relationships and also get beyond our old patterns. I like the idea of exploding the paradigms and the hope given for self-growth. I highly recommend this book for anyone trying to understand themselves as well as for anyone who likes movies, literature , mythology and history.
What is this thing called love?.......2000-05-30
AWAKENING WITH THE ENEMY is a unique book that manages to talk about difficult philosophical concepts -- like subject/object discrimination, monism vs. dualism, and the mysterious "criteria of being," in a way that is surprisingly easy to understand. The author quotes great philosophers, then explains how their words are relevant to love -- that experience that grips one like madness, then lets go so completely that we can't believe it ever happened. Until I read this book I would have said love is inexplicable; but now I see an underlying "logic" to it, if it makes any sense to call contradictory criteria for happiness "logical." This book explains the workings of an engine that drives us to fall in love with somebody in order to satisfy contradictory needs, and later makes us loathe the same person because of the same contradictory needs! Although the message of the book is a daunting one, that love can't work -- except on a not really explained "mystical level" -- I appreciate the author's effort to tell me what I'm up against. Even an unpleasant truth is better than living in the illusion perpetuated by songs and stories, that romantic love is the answer to everything. This book is definitely for people who have had some discouraging experiences in love and want to know what in the world went wrong. I don't see the first part, which is more philosophical, being very tolerable to people who are still in love, or still completely convinced that they must be in love in order to be happy. Part 2, however, should interest anyone. It is jam-packed with examples of the varieties of relationship, and uses popular culture (movies, tv, comic strips) and literature for specifics we can all relate to. We go from Dagwood to Faust --and see what they have in common! A later chapter (9), "The Secret of Erotic Perversity," includes truly provocative explanations of such things as homosexuality, sadism, masochism, "flashing," and the "cutting" phenomenon seen now in young women. The author's take on this latter "perversity" is that the woman, or girl, is punishing herself for guilt arising from her effort to be an assertive self in the world, and that the correct therapeutic approach would address her rejection of herself as feminine. This, whether it is true or not, is radically different from the usual explanation, that the girl is in vague emotional "pain," and that she must learn to express her pain in words, not cutting. It is certainly a change to think of a young woman as riddled with guilt about who she is instead of thinking of her as an innocent victim trapped in mute "pain." It's like seeing a fox where we previously saw a sheep. The item about cutting is just a tidbit in this huge feast of ideas. Anyone who reads this book will surely find many things to think about, things that hit close to home.
