Book Description The Big-Ass Book of Crafts is packed with ideas for sprucing up your living space; concocting fabulous, all-natural body products; designing your own unique stationery; and creating countless other crafts that will convince your friends and loved ones that you're the secret love child of Martha Stewart (only much, much cooler). Forget crocheted doilies and itchy knit sweaters -- TLC's While You Were Out top designer Mark Montano has created stylish and imaginative projects that range from a Warhol-esque Ultrasuede iPod case to photo-adorned boxer shorts to African mask patio chairs to wooden night-light boxes. Divided into sections that include Outdoorsy (ideas to enhance your backyard), Dishing It Out (decorating plates using different techniques), You've Been Framed (innovative picture framing ideas), and Can I Have a Light? (creating and decorating lamps, lanterns, and chandeliers), it's as entertaining to read as it is endlessly inspiring. With more than one... See less

Traditional Japanese country clothes were quilted for warmth. The quilting patterns on the natural indigo dyed hemp or cotton are called sashiko and often take the form of repeating, geometric patterns. Karen Matsunaga gives a nice background into the daily life of her Japanese family, and also the history of some of the traditional patterns. The book has five complete projects, plus sashiko stitching pattern. The patterns are printed on grids, with helpful directional lines to show the direction in which the stitching should take place.

Space: Japanese Design Solutions for Compact Living, is packed with more than 200 serene photos and outstanding ideas for living life to it's fullest in a very small space. The houses in this book are small and rely on traditional Japanese design elements. For example, tatami mats on the floor, futons that are rolled - up by day, and shoji screen dividers for walls. Most American homes do not follow a Japanese aesthetic and are not plagued by such tiny floor plans but they often have difficult areas that need help. Space will be a huge source of inspiration and ideas because the problems it tackles are so difficult and the solutions so interesting. Each home in Space is as individual as it's occupants but there are a few common features that make these small spaces work. One essential ingredient is lightness whether in the choice of construction materials, the appearance of the structure, or color. Creative storage solutions are also important, some notable examples include, stair... See less

I have had Living SMALL: The Life of SMall Houses for a few weeks and have been pondering what to write about it. Dennis and Babs did a great job of getting this one out and the models are great. There really are 20 SketchUP V5 models on the CD and you can alter them. They even have furnishings and extra bits, like vehicles, for completeness. Just like the tutorials in Construction Modeling, the models themselves teach you something about how SketchUp works and how to properly use the program. Living Small: The Life of Small Houses is a narration of how houses have developed over time with models to show how and why they have changed in changing environments. They also show that when a house is built for a specific purpose it can be highly optimized, to provide an efficient and comfortable dwelling with a minimum of materials and land. The Granny is my favorite, showing that by using sight lines effectively, a small house can feel much bigger than it really is. With the redevelopment... See less

Book Description The Big Book of Small House Designs is a collection of more than 500 drawings illustrating all aspects of 75 small homes of various styles, from a New England farmhouse to a sophisticated steel frame to a Santa Fe ranch. Each design includes detailed floor plans, section drawings, elevations, and perspectives, as well as a description of the materials used and landscaping around the home. Keeping in mind that a chief priority for a small home is often energy efficiency, most of the plans incorporate some energy-efficient element. There are dozens of plans suitable for every environment and climate in the country. The designs are all a direct result of several international competitions that solicited from architects the best homes of 1,250 square feet or less. Contact information for the architects is provided in the back of the book. About the Author Editor and professional architect Don Metz is a partner in the architectureal firm of Metz and Thornton.

Fundamentals of Acupuncture is unique among English-language textbooks for beginning students in that it actually is a textbook, and it actually is written in English. Sadly, it has not received the recognition or application it so richly deserves. Fundamentals was developed from a variety of modern and pre-modern sources, and seamlessly incorporates those sources into a coherent work that honors the past and imparts present-day acupuncture simultaneously. This book clearly presents the foundations of acupuncture theory, including all aspects of the channel system, from primary, connecting, divergent, and sinew pathways to channel communications and extraordinary vessels. It describes a variety of needle techniques as well as moxibustion. Entries for individual points include functions, indications, both classical and modern instructions for location, a translated name, the Chinese name in characters, the Chinese name in Pinyin with tone marks, regional anatomy, insertion depth,...
