Research institutions have or are planning to build; expand and renovate animal research facilities to keep up with the demands of biomedical research caused in part by growth in the use of genetically altered rodents and the upsurge of research in infectious diseases. Properly designed facilities greatly facilitate effective management and high-quality day-to-day animal care that is required to optimally support animal research and testing. There are multiple solutions to address the myriad of factors that influence the design and construction of animal research facilities. There is no ldquo;best” design applicable for all facilities and arguably not even a single ldquo;best” design for a given facility. For this reason; Planning and Designing Research Animal Facilities is not intended to be a ldquo;how to” book. The goal is to cover the basic programmatic requirements of animal research facilities; provide ideas for meeting those requirements while; hopefully; stimulating the creative process in which designers in consultation with those who work in animal research facilities generate even better ideas. That is how progress has been made and will continue to be made.Facilitates communication between the parties involved in planning and designing animal facilities by providing contemporary information; and stimulating creativity that will help lead to wise decisions and advance the knowledge base for planning; design and constructing animal research facilities

I would recommend this to aspirants.By AshleyThere is a 35 question multiple choice quiz at the beginning to help divide you into one of 4 categories Creator. Visualizer. Critic. or Seller. By a slim margin I ended up in the Creator category (i.e: designer") If I had changed a few answers I would have been a Critic instead (i.e: something in the editorial world such as a teacher) I do like that there are breakdowns of the categories and both of the ones I landed on seem to fit my personality very well. I am looking into each of them more. There are dos and do-nots as guidelines for interviews. wardrobe and what to expect on the different jobs ( if you are a model vs. an intern for example) There is also a breakdown of things you should know about each category" For example Visualizer: can be a clothes stylist. hair stylist. makeup artist. art director. photographer. or model. You can have no degree in this field all the way through to an MFA. The most coveted jobs are supermodel. supers-stylist. top photographer etc. The not so glamorous side of these jobs: cleaning toilets. taping bottoms of shoes. searching 24/7 for the perfect prop. You get the idea. Gives a breakdown of good alliances to have. examples of modern success stories. and even what languages you may need to know. I think that this book gives a good shot of what the world of fashion encompasses. Especially to those what are trying to jump in with both feet but havent been exposed to the actual day to day dealings. I would recommend this to aspirants.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. She said its great.

There are no pictures and its all black and white so it is a little text book style. All in all it was exactly what I wanted1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Comes off a bit arrogant. but thats what you might need to survive the fashion industry in NYC.
