The follow-up to the 2000 Golden Pen Award-winning Structural Design for the Stage; this second edition provides the theater technician with a foundation in structural design; allowing an intuitive understanding of "why sets stand up." It introduces the basics of statics and the study of the strength of materials as they apply to typical scenery; emphasizing conservative approaches to real world examples. This is an invaluable reference for any serious theatre technician throughout their career; from the initial study of the fundamental concepts; to the day-to-day use of the techniques and reference materials.Now in hardcover; with nearly 200 new pages of content; it has been completely revised and updated to reflect the latest recommended practices of the lumber and steel industries; while also including aluminum design for the first time.

He loved the book but unfortunately after about 6 months it started coming apart! The glue in the binding just came undone and the pages starting falling out. Now I cannot find where to email the seller. He is 83 and was very disappointed. My father is very proud of his Hazard book collection and takes really good care of his books. Could be an embarrassment if given as a gift. Would NOT recommend this in paperback!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy DarlaI was born in Hazard; lived there until I was about 6 years old and then visited a lot as I was growing up. This is my familys roots. I liked this book so much that I bought a second copy for my mother. She has us (her children) on a $10.00 gift limit because she doesnt like us spending our money on her. She stopped fussing about that after she started reading the book. Amazing; clear pictures with detailed explanations. Someone that loves Hazard put this book together. I also purchased two copies of Railroading Around Hazard and Perry County. This is a must have companion read. Railroading Around Hazard and Perry County (KY) (Images of Rail)
