Emergency Repairs for Historic Buildings is a compilation of 12 case studies that emphasize the necessity of emergency repairs for historic buildings in poor condition. These buildings are defined in this book as listed buildings in England; together with those which; although unlisted; add an historical dimension to their environment. Emergency repairs could consist of permanent or temporary work. Permanent work should always be carried out according to the best historic buildings practice. Temporary work is second best made necessary by lack of money but having the advantage of speed. In an emergency; this is sometimes the most important factor as decay spreads very quickly; especially in empty buildings. Chapter 2 of this book provides guidelines for temporary repair; which indicate that even this work should be the best quality of its kind. This book mainly relates to the great majority of buildings; rather than to major country houses; historic engineering works; or ancient monuments. This text is a useful and informative reference for individuals or students who conduct research on studies relating to architectural or historical arts.

" I felt like the Kindle version of Jupiter Kids Big Bikes For ...By Amanda McFarlandIt is very important that you realize that the Kindle version of THIS BOOK IS A ONLY PREVIEW of what is inside this coloring book. "The sole purpose of this preview is to show the designs that are available in the physical copy of the book."I felt like the Kindle version of Jupiter Kids Big Bikes For Big Boys Coloring Book had nice images. I was impressed that coloring pages in this book are well drawn. From what I was able to see in the "preview" version I feel that this coloring book would be a fun coloring book for any kiddo big or small. Overall it looks like it would be a good purchase. I have attached two pictures. I took screen shots of this book in Kindle form.The first thing I do when I am looking at purchasing an item is read the reviews. It is always helpful to be able to learn about a product from other fellow buyers. Thatrsquo;s why I think reviews are so important. They make us all feel a little better about our purchases. My promise to you is my honest opinion! Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope you will find it helpful.Was my review helpful? If so please vote yes!

Art Books = Ads...SHOW Us Designs BEFORE We Buy #500...By classicsGGmaArt Books = Ads for the print versions of their coloring books. No downloads and nothing to print for coloring. What use are they to Kindle owners...None.Cant be certain the samples we get are for this particular coloring book. as theyre also samples for other coloring books. Wonder what designs are actually in here...When we buy coloring books in stores we can look inside to see if we like the designs and check for any we already have.
