Download or read book The Environmental Brief written by Richard Hyde and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The built environment is responsible for an estimated forty-five per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions. As the greatest opportunities for reducing these emissions occur during the briefing and design processes, the pathway to better design lies in preparing environmental briefs, and using these to drive building design and produce buildings of high environmental performance. This process-driven book looks at the theoretical issues involved in an environmental brief, and outlines methods by which architects can approach the writing of a brief that considers all aspects of the natural and the built environment, and relates these concepts to a number of case studies from around the world.

Download or read book Uber written by B. Yasanthi Perera and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uber is one of the most innovative companies of our time. This book provides a detailed analysis of the company and its success and goes beyond the headlines about safety and culture. Americans are so accustomed to using Uber today that the name of the innovative ride-sharing company has almost become a verb, as in "to Uber" somewhere, and yet Uber has been around only since 2010. In less than a decade, Uber has disrupted the ride-hailing industry, from making it easier and more affordable to become an Uber driver than a cab driver to rating riders as well as drivers. As an early pioneer in using technology to create a new business model and new efficiencies, Uber is considered one of the most important case studies in the sharing economy. However, little in-depth information exists on this innovative company. This book traces Uber's origin and evolution in the face of competitive pressures, discusses the company leadership and corporate culture, addresses such controversies as rider and driver safety and sexual harassment of female employees, and explores how the company is addressing these challenges. Students of business, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in the development and exponential growth of the sharing economy will benefit from reading this book.

Download or read book God s Great Reset Assessing Covid the Rapture Yeshua s Body in an END TIME Context written by Yosef Rachamim Danieli and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-04-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we really living in the end times? Could it be that the recent Covid-19 crisis marked “the beginning of the end?” Will that be followed by an imminent (pre-tribulation) rapture? Will we still be living here for (at least some of) “the great tribulation?” Are we prepared? Will we need to change “the model” we use as Messiah’s body during the potentially tumultuous circumstances soon coming on our world? This very interesting and challenging book addresses the above questions in a convincing and biblical way. As a native Israeli Jew and a follower of Israel’s Messiah Redeemer, the author approaches the above issues using his Hebraic Jewish Middle Eastern lens. Spoiler alert! Do not expect traditionally accepted explanations and interpretations of end-time prophecies. Be prepared rather to have your settled theology disrupted as you read with an open mind. You may discover your thinking has been influenced by traditional teachings, which are the byproducts of misinterpreted scriptures due to a lack of understanding of their proper cultural and linguistic context. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Book excerpt: Create interactive and responsive cross-browser apps with SASS and Compass About This Book Create data-intensive, highly scalable apps using Sass and COMPASS Master the concepts of Sass and COMPASS and unleash your potential to develop enterprise-grade apps This book is an experts' guide on leveraging Sass and COMPASS features Who This Book Is For This book is aimed at those who know CSS3 and HTML5 quite well and who've built a few small-to-medium-sized websites from scratch using Sass and Compass. What You Will Learn Master Sass and Compass features Familiarize yourself with CSS and HTML concepts that are vital for a good Sass workflow. Build real-world websites focusing on layouts and content aspects Work on a grid system using Compass and Susy Automate your workflow with Gulp Write functions and mixins to leverage the control flow In Detail CSS and Sass add elegance and excellence to the basic language, and consist of a CSS-compatible syntax that allows you to use variables, nested rules, mixins, inline imports, and much more. This book will start with an overview of the features in Sass and Compass, most of which you'll already be familiar; however, this will ensure you know what's expected as the book goes deeper into Sass and Compass. Next you will learn CSS and HTML concepts that are vital to a good Sass workflow. After all, Sass exists to simplify writing CSS, but it won't teach you how to make clean, scalable, reusable CSS. For that, you need to understand some basic concepts of OOCSS, SMACCS, and Atomic Design. Once you've brushed up on the important concepts, it's time to write some Sass. Mainly you'll write a few functions and mixins that really leverage control flow using @if / @else loops and you'll learn how to figure out when and why things are going wrong before they bring you to a stop. Moving further, you'll learn how to use @debug, @warn and @error to properly handle errors. You'll also learn about Gulp and how to use it to automate your workflow and reduce your repetitive tasks. And finally you'll learn about sourcemaps. With sourcemaps, you'll be able to write, debug, and view your Sass and Compass all from within the browser. It'll even LiveReload too! As a bonus, you'll take a look at that funky Flexbox, currently all the rage! You'll learn how powerful and flexible it really is, and how you can use it with Compass. Best of all, it falls back very gracefully indeed! In fact, you'll be able to apply it to any existing project without having to change a line of the original CSS. Style and approach This book will provide readers with practical, actionable expertise to enhance their knowledge
