 | The Adaptable House by Avi Friedman
Written by an internationally recognized flexible housing advocate, THE ADAPTABLE HOUSE provides specific design approaches and techniques that facilitate flexible design--both on the inside and outside--making it simple to alter a dwelling layout, demolish partitions or build new ones, upgrade heating systems, change the location of stairs, etc.The book is divided into three logical sections: the first sets the stage for adaptibility, the second outlines relevant principles, and the last shows their actual application. Packed with floor plans, drawings, photos, and charts to fully and clearly illustrate his suggestions, THE ADAPTABLE HOUSE includes detailed coverage of:
* Interior layouts and room configurations
* Exterior elements such as roofs and facades
* New building materials and methods
* Easy add-on and remodels
* Single-family and multiple dwelling housingTHE ADAPTABLE HOUSE is a master blueprint for those interested in creating homes that can be quickly, easily, and inexpensively redesigned to meet the dynamic nature of the occupants` life.Author Avi Friedman believes that rather than being unchangeable, physical environments should be designed and constructed to easily adjust to the evolving lifestyle of their inhabitants. A home, he contends, should be structurally flexible enough to adapt to changes such as children leaving the nest, elderly relatives moving in, or the need for home office space. AUTHOR: Avi Friedman

 | Fundamental Acting by Paul Kuritz
This book provides students with a clear, common sense, non-faddish technique for performing on stage. Kuritz`s technique is explained in terms of the actors` personal, common, everyday dramatic experiences. Simple exercises build upon one another as the technique is explored. Kuritz supplies actors with a special comfort and confidence in two of the stage`s most daunting features -- comedy and Shakespearean verse poetry. The book eases the nervous actors into both, by building in the basic techniques basis in their everyday experience and logic. Comedy and verse become seen as two variations or extensions of the fundamental acting process, rather than as exotic, unique skills. AUTHOR: Paul Kuritz
