AutoCAD 2023 for the Interior Designer AutoCAD for Mac and PC

AutoCAD 2023 for the Interior Designer AutoCAD for Mac and PC

Focused around a hotel suite project AutoCAD 2023 for the Interior Designer provides the Interior Design student with a non-intimidating tutorial based approach to learning the AutoCAD program. It accomplishes this by taking students that have no computer design experience from simple commands to complete projects in this single-semester sized text. This well organized and progressive approach to learning AutoCAD sets this text apart from others. To support all users this book covers AutoCAD for both Macs and PCs. The emphasis of this book is on easy to understand descriptions and instructions allowing the non-technical artistic visual learning Interior Design student to quickly get past the fear of using the computer to produce drawings. The focus is entirely on the use of AutoCAD for the Interior Design field and not simply architectural drawings. Chapters alternate between command descriptions which are organized by a command set category and tutorials. This allows students to easily refer back to command descriptions without hunting through a tutorial that introduces commands as it progresses. The emphasis is on the practical use of commands using the AutoCAD ribbon workspace rather than the multiple (and seldom used) command options. Multiple tutorials of the hotel suite which includes floor plan elevation views dimensioning and plotting provide a practical application of the commands learned in the preceding chapters. Completely dimensioned drawings are provided at the beginning of each tutorial so that the advanced student or an instructor led class can complete them without going through the step-by-step process. This textbook is classroom proven and relevant interior design homework problems are provided.

Qualitative Analysis Using MAXQDA The Five-Level QDA Method

Qualitative Analysis Using MAXQDA The Five-Level QDA Method

Software is cut-and-dried – every button you press has a predictable effect – but qualitative analysis is open-ended and unfolds in unpredictable ways. This contradiction is best resolved by separating analytic strategies – what you plan to do – from software tactics – how you plan to do it. Expert MAXQDA users have unconsciously learned to do this. The Five-Level QDA® method unpacks the process so that you can learn it consciously and efficiently. The first part of the book explains how the contradiction between analytic strategies and software tactics is reconciled by translating between them. The second part provides both an in-depth description of how MAXQDA works and comprehensive instruction in the five steps of translation. These steps are illustrated with examples from a variety of research projects. The third part contains real-world qualitative research projects from a variety of disciplines methodologies and kinds of qualitative analysis all illustrated in MAXQDA using the Five-Level QDA method. The book is accompanied by three sets of video demonstrations on the Companion Website. The functionality and interface design of MAXQDA for Windows and Mac are identical. The Five-Level QDA method learned from this book is therefore the same whether you are working on a Mac or Windows computer. The Five-Level QDA method is based on the authors’ combined 40 years of experience teaching MAXQDA and other software packages used as platforms for conducting qualitative analysis. After many years observing their students’ challenges they developed the Five-Level QDA method to describe the process that long-time MAXQDA experts unconsciously adopt. The Five-Level QDA method is independent of software program or methodology and the principles apply to any type of qualitative project.

Orwell’s “Politics and the English Language” in the Age of Pseudocracy

Orwell’s “Politics and the English Language” in the Age of Pseudocracy

Orwell’s Politics and the English Language in the Age of Pseudocracy visits the essay as if for the first time clearing away lore about the essay and responding to the prose itself. It shows how many of Orwell’s rules and admonitions are far less useful than they are famed to be but it also shows how some of them can be refurbished for our age and how his major claim—that politics corrupts language which then corrupts political discourse further and so on indefinitely—can best be re-deployed today. Politics and the English Language has encouraged generations of writers and readers and teachers and students to take great care to be skeptical and clear-sighted. The essay itself requires a fresh clear skeptical analysis so that it can with reapplication reclaim its status as a touchstone in our era of the rule of falsehood: the age of pseudocracy. | Orwell’s “Politics and the English Language” in the Age of Pseudocracy

Mircea Eliade Myth Religion and History

Mircea Eliade Myth Religion and History

Mircea Eliade (1907�1986) was one of the twentieth century's foremost students of religion and cultural environments. This book examines the emergence function and value of religion and myth in his work. Nicolae Babuts Robert Ellwood Eric Ziolkowski John Dadosky Robert Segal Mac Linscott Ricketts Douglas Allen and Liviu Borda examine Eliade's views on the interaction between the sacred and the profane. Each explores Eliade's phenomenological approach to the study of religion and myth. They show that modern rites of initiation cultural activities and spectacles like bullfighting film and perhaps surprisingly reading and writing all harken back to the archetypal structures of the mythical imagination. Perhaps the greatest achievement of Eliade's phenomenological approach is that it reveals what we have in common with pre-Socratic man: the mind's structural capacity to endow objects and events with spiritual values and meanings. As a study of Eliade's concept of the mythic imagination the book posits an analogy between the myths of the past and modern imitations. The authors suggest that in spite of their differences and their separate historical sources myths represent basic structures of human consciousness. This book is essential reading for all students of religion philosophy and literature. | Mircea Eliade Myth Religion and History

Mindfulness and Acceptance in Sport How to Help Athletes Perform and Thrive under Pressure

Mindfulness and Acceptance in Sport How to Help Athletes Perform and Thrive under Pressure

Mindfulness- and acceptance-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment (MAC) are gaining momentum with sport psychology practitioners who work to support elite athletes. These acceptance-based or third wave cognitive behavioral approaches in sport psychology highlight that thought suppression and control techniques can trigger a metacognitive scanning process and that excessive cognitive activity and task-irrelevant focus (self-focused attention such as trying to change thoughts) disrupts performance. Using this perspective the aim of sport psychology interventions is not to help the athletes engage in the futile task of managing and controlling internal life. Rather it suggests that sport psychology practitioners should work to increase athletes’ willingness to accept negative thoughts and emotions in pursuit of valued ends. Key aspects of such interventions include: teaching athletes to open up and accept teaching athletes to mindfully engage in the present moment and helping athletes formulate the values and engage in committed actions towards these values. The goal of Mindfulness and Acceptance in Sport: How to Help Athletes Perform and Thrive under Pressure then is to provide students researchers practitioners and coaches of sport psychology with practical guidance for implementing mindfulness and acceptance approaches in their work with athletes. This book brings together highly experienced practitioners and shares their working methods exercises and cases to inspire the sport psychology profession. | Mindfulness and Acceptance in Sport How to Help Athletes Perform and Thrive under Pressure

An Introduction to Acceptance Sampling and SPC with R

An Introduction to Acceptance Sampling and SPC with R

An Introduction to Acceptance Sampling and SPC with R is an introduction to statistical methods used in monitoring controlling and improving quality. Topics covered include acceptance sampling; Shewhart control charts for Phase I studies; graphical and statistical tools for discovering and eliminating the cause of out-of-control-conditions; Cusum and EWMA control charts for Phase II process monitoring; and the design and analysis of experiments for process troubleshooting and discovering ways to improve process output. Origins of statistical quality control and the technical topics presented in the remainder of the book are those recommended in the ANSI/ASQ/ISO guidelines and standards for industry. The final chapter ties everything together by discussing modern management philosophies that encourage the use of the technical methods presented earlier. In the modern world sampling plans and the statistical calculations used in statistical quality control are done with the help of computers. As an open source high-level programming language with flexible graphical output options R runs on Windows Mac and Linux operating systems and has add-on packages that equal or exceed the capability of commercial software for statistical methods used in quality control. In this book we will focus on several R packages. In addition to demonstrating how to use R for acceptance sampling and control charts this book will concentrate on how the use of these specific tools can lead to quality improvements both within a company and within their supplier companies. This would be a suitable book for a one-semester undergraduate course emphasizing statistical quality control for engineering majors (such as manufacturing engineering or industrial engineering) or a supplemental text for a graduate engineering course that included quality control topics.
