Since 1985; Architect? has been an essential text for aspiring architects; offering the best basic guide to the profession available. This third edition has been substantially revised and rewritten; with new material covering the latest developments in architectural and construction technologies; digital methodologies; new areas of focus in teaching and practice; evolving aesthetic philosophies; sustainability and green architecture; and alternatives to traditional practice. Architect? tells the inside story of architectural education and practice; it is realistic; unvarnished; and insightful. Chapter 1 asks "Why Be an Architect?" and chapter 2 offers reasons "Why Not to Be an Architect." After this provocative beginning; Architect? goes on to explain and critique architectural education; covering admission; degree and curriculum types; and workload as well as such post-degree options as internship; teaching; and work in related fields. It offers a detailed discussion of professors and practitioners and the "-isms" and "-ologies" most prevalent in teaching and practicing architecture. It explains how an architect works and gets work; and describes architectural services from initial client contact to construction oversight. The new edition also includes a generous selection of drawings and cartoons from the authors Washington Post column; "Shaping the City;" offering teachable moments wittily in graphic form.The author; Roger Lewis; has taught; practiced; and written extensively about architecture for many years. In Architect? he explains -- for students; professors; practitioners; and even prospective clients -- how architects think and work and what they care about as they strive to make the built environment more commodious; more beautiful; and more sustainable.

Fun arrangements to play along with!By Stephanie M.I have been playing the flute for over 20 years and while I dont play nearly as much as I used to I do like to keep up on my skills. I bought this because I have 3 girls that love all 3 of these movies. I think these arrangements are fantastic and fun! I had no problem finding the instrumental backing on the website using the code inside the book to play along with. And I like that it has both a demo track and one without the melody at all. I will be having a lot of fun playing these for my girls!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great tunesBy Patrick E. PolkEach song comes with a demo track and a backing only track. The backing tracks sound exactly like the music on the movie; which makes me happy. The demo tracks have a glockenspiel sounding instrument playing the notes; but I actually like that as its easier to hear and play along to.Hal Leonards (new?) website is great because you can play all the backing tracks slowed down. Wish the site was more compatible with mobile phone though; as I can only do basic playback on the mobile and the site doesnt display well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Perfect for the Disney loving flute player!By KikiThis is a great music book! I got it for my daughter for Christmas. She is a second year student and is working her way through the book. There are a few notes that she has had to look up because they were a little advanced for her but overall the songs are fun to play. There are a few songs from each movie.
