Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: VG-Fine. 1st ed. f/piece++xiii+443, 2 8 pp.blocks of plates and one 2 pp., all ex-pagination, numerous text ills. of various kinds numbered by chapter. No obvious faults with the book - clean, tight unmarked in bright unworn red cloth covers; unclipped jacket clean and unworn bar a short tear top front outer corner (now repaired internally and virtually invisible), will apply protective sleeve when ordered. An exceptionally interesting multi-disciplinary work originating in meetings under W.H.Thorpe's chairmanship at request of the Royal Society, culminating in a Ciba Foundation event in September 1970. Topics range from communication in lower vertebrates and invertebrates (Thorpe) to acting (Miller) and art (Gombrich, taking in anthropology and social psychology en route (e.g. Leach and Argyle). Alas no women involved as far as I can see, though perhaps their contributions were non-verbal. . …

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 2015 Woodhead Publishing hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: Handbook of Offshore Helicopter Transport Safety explores topics including safety management systems, safety briefings, survival equipment, underwater egress training, water impact/ditching statistics, and search and rescue. Each area of interest details pertinent information spanning approximately 30 years of offshore operations. The first three chapters look at helicopter underwater escape training (HUET) programs, their development, and training, safety regulations, standards, and decision-making in extreme environments. Subsequent chapters cover physiological and psychological responses to HUET and cold-water immersion, followed by three final chapters on the fidelity of simulation in HUET, emergency breathing systems, and helicopter transportation suits.

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Print signed by Rem Koolhaas on the title page without inscription. Illustrated throughout with color photographs and drawings. Very Near-Fine condition, the only defects being that the upper left corner of the back cover is very slightly bumped and there is just a smidgen of wear along the bottom edge of the front cover. "What is OMA provides a clear insight into the role and significance of Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. Authors of international repute from beyond the province of architecture examine OMA's works in the light of social and economic developments. The many facets of Koolhaas come under review: his take on architectural theory and the conceptual apparatus he employs, his vision of urbanism and the contemporary city, the designs put into practice by OMA and the research projects of the AMO think tank, which exist outside the immediate boundaries of architecture. This book paints an intelligent picture of the sheer range of OMA's architecture and of Koolhaas's seminal role in the architectural world." - NAi Publishers (Note: Photos may show magnified dust, a flash reflection, or color washout.)
