In the newly revised Fourth Edition of Construction Drawings and Details for Interiors, distinguished interior design professors Rosemary Kilmer and W. Otie Kilmer deliver a comprehensive and practical perspective on the preparation and understanding of construction documents.

New appendices feature examples of interior design projects and common symbols for construction drawings. The book also includes:
- A thorough introduction to drawing communication, equipment, and classification systems, including information about Building Information Modeling and building certification programs for sustainability
- A discussion of green building certification programs
- An exploration of the design process, including concept development, hand sketching, design development, preliminary designs, sketches, and presentations
- A practical review of contract documents, including specifications, contracts, construction drawings, as-built drawings and demolition plans, and floor plans
- An in-depth examination of structural, mechanical, and plumbing systems
Construction Drawings and Details for Interiors is perfect for interior design students, early-career professionals hoping to improve their understanding of project drawing conventions, or anyone studying for the NCIDQ exam.
The third edition of The Process of Economic Development offers a thorough and up-to-date presentation of development economics. This landmark text will continue to be an invaluable resource for students, teachers and researchers in the fields of development economics and development studies.
Much has happened in the developing world since the appearance of the second edition in 2002. The period has seen remarkable growth rates in countries such as China and India, the accession of a number of post-communist economies to the European Union, financial crisis in Argentina and continuing desperate poverty in many African countries. This third edition reflects these developments and includes new material on the following:
- national systems of innovation including information technology in India
-
- the ongoing impact of globalization
-
- the continuing programmes of foreign aid across all developing countries.
Cypher and Dietz's text is the development economics text par excellence as it takes a much more practical, hands-on view of the issues facing developing countries than its overly mathematical rivals. It will appeal to all those studying this important subject area.
