Once known as the �Pottery Capital of the World;� East Liverpool boasted some 300 potteries in its heyday; along with many ancillary industries. When British immigrant Thomas Bennett found promising clay deposits along the riverfront; he opened the city�s first one-kiln pottery in 1839. From that humble beginning; the industry burgeoned; eventually spreading up the hills and across the river. Besides sturdy kitchenware; hotel china; toilet ware; and ceramic doorknobs and insulators; the potteries produced such elegant designs as Lotus Ware; Lu-Ray; and Fiesta Ware. The men; women; and children who worked in the potteries also built a town with a busy and complex social life. Churches; schools; cultural and service organizations; theaters; and restaurants filled the downtown area. East Liverpool struggled after the collapse of the pottery industry in the second half of the 20th century but has persevered into the 21st century with hope for the future.

DO NOT BUYBy emjohns09I just took the LEED AP exam this morning; and Ill stress again what another reviewer has already mentioned; that clearly this book was not edited at all. The quiz keys in the back of the book dont match up with the questions. For example; the answer key will say that for question 3.4; the answer is choice C and will give an explanation as to why. However; the explanation will be entirely unrelated to the question; and the clarification wont make sense. Its almost like someone filed the questions and answers out of order; which is really detrimental for studying. Did the author just forget to have this edited?? Im just floored that there are such serious and glaring errors in an exam prep book. There are also some questionable discrepancies in the information from the OM Reference guide published by USGBC; such as water baseline calculations. This book states that the baseline should be based on fixtures installed after 1993; using 120% and 160% reductions from baseline depending on installation date. The USGBC Reference Guide uses 1995 as the reference year; and reductions of 120% and 150%. It makes me seriously question what else is incorrect in this study guide. The most useful part of this book is the inclusion of study worksheets; which are one worksheet per credit; and appendixes that detail the synergies and references per credit. HOWEVER - they are not specific enough to help you pass the exam.Do not buy this book; if its the only thing you use you will not pass the exam. Save your money. The only helpful study guides I found out there were with GBES; its more money and predominantly online but their practice tests actually represented what I saw on the real exam. And Im not being paid by GBES so not trying to plug a product.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Mediocre review book; lots of typos; clearly a rush jobBy Andrew FAs a student preparing to take the LEED AP with a lot of experience working with green buildings; I was actually excited to start studying. This book let me down in a big way!The book is loaded with typos and formatting issues. For example; there are many multiple choice questions where the question is on one page; and the answers are on the next. Or the question and 3 or 4 answers are on one page; and a single lone answer choice moves to the next page.There are many typos; some of them damaging to a student. The book has mixed up the word picogram (1 trillionth of a gram) with pictogram (a writing style based on written symbols). I cant stress this enough: in every place where picogram is the appropriate word; the book uses pictogram. One look at the LEED reference guide (or; one pass by an editor) would have caught this mistake.From a learning standpoint; the book is decent. The information is presented in a logical way; though it is presented in a text heavy manner. The author tries to mix up where information is presented to the student; including sometimes having new information in the quiz sections at the end of chapters. However; the answer keys throughout the book are inadequate; and often do not do anything to explain the concepts tested in the questions.Overall; a very mediocre book. I would be happy if I had paid 10 dollars or less for this. Its a pretty blatant rush job.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
