A testament to the synergy of two evolving fields. From the study of staged performances to examinations of the performing body in everyday life; this book demonstrates the enormous profitability of moving beyond disability as metaphor. . . . Its a lesson that many of our cultural institutions desperately need to learn.-Martin F. Norden; University of Massachusetts-AmherstThis groundbreaking collection imagines disabled bodies as "bodies in commotion"-bodies that dance across artistic and discursive boundaries; challenging our understanding of both disability and performance. In the books essays; leading critics and artists explore topics that range from theater and dance to multi-media performance art; agit-prop; American Sign Language theater; and wheelchair sports. Bodies in Commotion is the first collection to consider the mutually interpretive qualities of these two emerging fields; producing a dynamic new resource for artists; activists; and scholars.

The structure is made in a way you should build a model from scratch and this helps understand the most important variables on a model of a building. It does cover some of the physics; most of the calculus and even has some simple algorithms that seem to be usefull.I got the book to have a reference and most of the time I do simulations of comercial buildings (from warehouses to shopping centers and sports arenas) with EnergyPlus and in a first impression the choice was good; as the book has a similar aproach as that used on the EP software.Definitively recommend this book as an introduction and as a reference.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great detailed energy modeling guide.By DimitriosA detailed guide to understanding building physics and the underlying math behind energy modeling; more specifically the ESP-r software. That said; this book is not software specific and will help the curious reader understand how a building energy simulation is carried out from step 0 to acquiring results.
