From its beginnings; the American film industry has profited from bringing popular and acclaimed dramatic works to the screen. This is the first book to offer a comprehensive account; focusing on key texts; of how Hollywood has given a second and enduring life to such classics of the American theater as Long Days Journey into Night; A Streetcar Named Desire and Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Each chapter is written by a leading scholar and focuses on Broadways most admired and popular productions. The book is ideally suited for classroom use and offers an otherwise unavailable introduction to a subject which is of great interest to students and scholars alike.

Collaboration...By Mentor LlunjiThis well written book provides an overview of interdisciplinary collaboration between architects and structural engineers..It mainly focuses on relationship and problem solving between two professions...Recognizing the importance and complexity of interdisciplinary collaboration;this text addresses the challenges and rewards of cross-disciplinary partnership and provides real-world case studies.4 stars are not for contents (which deserves 5) but for the graphical design...Graphical and schematic presentation of clever structural solutions should be the cornerstone of analysed case studies; which is not the case.Quality of photographs is not the best and it should be in color.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Accessible for beginning designers and worthwhile for seasoned practitionersBy Design ReaderClear prose and a solid format make this book accessible to beginning design students while the high-profile stellar examples will make it a worthwhile read for seasoned practitioners. This is one of a handful of books that really gives an in-depth look at the process behind architectural production; specifically the importance of architect-engineer relationships in collaboratively creating architectural exemplars.The even-handed treatment of both the engineers and the architects is unique and will make it a go-to resource for training students.
