Описание: Flooring Psych: How to Avoid (Literally) Slipping and Tripping through Life describes 9 Hidden Messages - unconscious ways that floor patterns affect us psychologically and physically. These stem from Human Instinct and Nature, are supported by Evidence-Based Design Studies and research from a variety of fields and can be used with any design style and project type to create healthier places.
The author is an Architect, Interior Designer and "Building Psychologist" who has consulted with clients including Kaiser Permanente, The Republic of Tea and design firms like Gensler and AECOM. She explains each Hidden Message through easy-to-read and entertaining stories with practical Do's and Don'ts that design and flooring professionals will be able to immediately apply to their next projects.
WHY ARE FLOOR PATTERNS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHER BUILDING FEATURES?
Because scientists tell us that through evolution we have become more sensitive to objects on the ground - where our ancestors were more likely to find tracks of prey and lurking predators than dropping out of trees. And in a world without antibiotics and orthopedic surgeons, someone oblivious to the patterns on the ground could easily find themselves propped up against a tree watching their clan disappear in the distance in search of buffalo...
We inherited our ancestors' instinctive survival strategies along with their DNA and today we respond to our built environments the same way they responded to their natural environments.
WHY IS IT CRITICAL FOR 21ST CENTURY DESIGNERS AND FLOORING SPECIALISTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW FLOOR PATTERNS AFFECT OUR BEHAVIOR?
Because advances in seaming and cutting technology and the availability of thousands of flooring materials (from carpet and sheet vinyl to laminate and porcelain tile) allow us to design wonderfully complex floor patterns: while 80% of Workers' Compensation claims are due to slipping and falling and the elderly are the fastest growing age group.
Are we designing because we CAN and not because we SHOULD?
Flooring Psych will appeal to everyone who designs, markets, buys or sells flooring.
Architects and Interior Designers will find it an easy reference that reinforces the idea that their designs will affect others - while learning how to create floor patterns that are 'Good for People' - as well as 'Good Design.'
Flooring Manufacturers, Dealers, Distributors and Installers will use this book to add value to their clients by being able to recommend the best, most effective and appropriate installations in commercial flooring.
And after reading Flooring Psych - NO ONE will ever look at floors quite the same way again

When Elanor's near-death experience opens a door to a world inhabited by bold, beautiful Madeline, she finds her life quickly spiraling out of control
Fourteen-year-old Elanor Moss has always been an outcast who fails at everything she tries she's even got the fine, white scars to prove it.

But, when a terrible car accident changes her life forever, her near-death experience opens a door to a world inhabited by Madeline Torus . . . Madeline is everything Elanor isn't: beautiful, bold, brave. She is exactly what Elanor has always wanted in a best friend and more their connection runs deeper than friendship. But Madeline is not like other girls, and Elanor has to keep her new friend a secret or risk being labeled "crazy." Soon, though, even Elanor starts to doubt her own sanity. Madeline is her entire life, and that life is drastically spinning out of control. Elanor knows what happens when your best friend becomes your worst enemy. But what happens when your worst enemy is yourself? With her debut novel, "The In-Between," Barbara Stewart presents a bold new voice in teen fiction."

Описание: Orff-Schulwerk in Diverse Cultures: An Idea That Went Round the World is a commentary on the phenomenon of the rapid and worldwide dissemination of Orff Schulwerk, which has been in continuous process for more than 70 years since its origins in Central Europe. A selection of articles on the topic of adapting and adopting Orff Schulwerk is followed with contributions from countries in Asia, Africa, North and South America, and Oceania, supplemented by some European countries that have a special feature. In documenting the various adaptations of Orff Schulwerk, the authors describe characteristics and differences that result from the integration with each countrys own cultural traditions and educational systems.

Описание: Following the idea that you can only go as far forward as you can reach back, Wolfgang walks us through an informative and fascinating look back at the guiding principles of Orff-Schulwerk and how they developed, always with the intent to use them to inform our practice today and move it yet further forward. Many contemporary Orff-Schulwerk teachers are delighted by ideas and material in a workshop and hunger to try them out in Mondays classes. Yet, without that deep understanding of their source and depth of artistic vision, there is the danger of mere surface teaching, lowering a once vibrant, dynamic, and alive practice down to mere fun and cute activities. Wolfgangs book serves as a reminder to consider the essential pedagogical principles that will guide us to the kind of education that children -- and artists of all ages -- both need and deserve. Here is an opportunity to look back down the path to understand where we have been, how we arrived where we are, and what the next step may be.
