Some children are visual learners. To really make the Bible come to life for them; they will need pictures and descriptive details. Seeing David before a giant may be hard to imagine; but having it in a picture form puts the story into perspective for them. A book that makes the Bible understandable would help children to have an interest in these ancient stories.

4 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Long and UnreadableBy Bruce LiedstrandAlthough I work regularly in the design of cities; I found this work wordy and largely unreadable. If there are kernals of wisdom about the design of cities in it; they are well-hidden. The text goes on and on for many pages of small type without giving meaningful hints about how to design a good city. Perhaps the book would have been helpful if the authors had distilled it to perhaps 20% of its present length and illustrated any kernals of wisdom they have with good images. Due to its present form; I couldnt make myself read it through.9 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Is Design First on Your Studio Desk?By Catherine M. ThompsonWhether a practitioner; architecture or urban design student or simply interested in the field of urban planning; you will enjoy and learn from "Design First." No rambling tome to weigh down your office papers or backpack; "Design First" is a practical and usable guide to understanding and learning from current examples of Smart Growth. The book is well organized; and begins with a concise historical overview of urban planning that provides the back-story to the practice of contemporary urban design. Following a strong discussion of urban planning theory and practice; Walters and Brown move into an investigation of five case study projects conducted in North and South Carolina. The animated text accompanies a healthy portion of design drawings; diagrams and photographs. The 53 color plates provide dynamic examples of large area plans; street sections; renderings and perspectives. "Design First" is a true designers tool; to be worn at the edges and referenced often.2 of 9 people found the following review helpful. UnreadableBy Z.
