Book excerpt: The geology of the Thames Valley provides little good building stone, so the towns are made very largely of local brick. Reading is particularly rewarding for the brick-fancier, thanks to the variety of colours available and the inventive patterns that Victorian bricklayers loved to make.0Illustrated throughout with photographs of surviving examples, Bricks and Brickwork in Reading gets back to basics with bonding, tells the 100-year story of a successful Victorian brick maker, pays homage to Alfred Waterhouse and revels in the delights of air bricks and crinkle-crankle walls. A walking tour gives the reader the opportunity to see the more notable examples of Reading's brickwork for themselves.

Book Synopsis Veneklasen Brick by : Michael J. Douma
Download or read book Veneklasen Brick written by Michael J. Douma and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1848, the second year of the new Dutch "kolonie" in West Michigan's Ottawa County, a much-needed brick manufacturing industry was begun in the rich clay fields between Groningen and Zeeland. From humble beginnings that included digging barefoot in the clay, the company created by Dutch immigrant Jan Hendrik Veneklasen and his son Berend flourished for more than seventy-five years and contributed to a unique architectural legacy. While Veneklasen Brick Co. (later Zeeland Brick Co.) remained in the family, success demanded that it expand beyond the Zeeland area. Strengthened by the purchase of clay pits elsewhere in West Michigan and benefiting from the arrival of railroad lines, Veneklasen eventually became one of the largest brick companies in the state. Veneklasen's bricks were used in commercial, industrial, and public settings, but their residential application has drawn the most attention. Mixing traditional Dutch patterns and constantly changing American housing styles, local brick masons left behind a prime example of nineteenth-century Dutch-American material culture. Drawing from untapped primary sources, Michael Douma's work traces the history of the Veneklasen family, the development of the Veneklasen company, and the impact of its products on local construction. The first-ever book-length analysis of West Michigan Dutch contributions to architecture, "Veneklasen Brick" also addresses issues of conservation and preservation. The volume contains numerous illustrations, graphs, maps, and a comprehensive listing of nineteenth-century brick houses in southern Ottawa and northern Allegan counties.

Book excerpt: Sometimes radical yet always applicable, Brick by Brick abounds with real-world lessons for unleashing breakthrough innovation in your organization, using LEGO--which experienced one of the most remarkable business transformations in recent history--as a business model. As LEGO failed to keep pace with the revolutionary changes in kids' lives and began sliding into irrelevance, the company's leaders implemented some of the business world's most widely espoused prescriptions for boosting innovation. Ironically, these changes pushed the iconic toymaker to the brink of bankruptcy, showing that what works in theory can fail spectacularly in the brutally competitive global economy. It took a new LEGO management team--faced with the growing rage for electronic toys, few barriers to entry, and ultra-demanding consumers (ten-year old boys)--to reinvent the innovation rule book and transform LEGO into one of the world's most profitable, fastest-growing companies. Along the way, Brick by Brick reveals how LEGO: - Became truly customer-driven by co-creating with kids as well as its passionate adult fans - Looked beyond products and learned to leverage a full-spectrum approach to innovation - Opened its innovation process by using both the "wisdom of crowds" and the expertise of elite cliques - Discovered uncontested, "blue ocean" markets, even as it thrived in brutally competitive red oceans - Gave its world-class design teams enough space to create and direction to deliver built a culture where profitable innovation flourishes Whether you're a senior executive looking to make your company grow, an entrepreneur building a startup from scratch, or a fan who wants to instill some of that LEGO magic in your career, you'll learn how to build your own innovation advantage, brick by brick.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life isn't fair. We do our best; we will fail and find pain along the way, but we will never give up. A Brick Wall is a story of how a little boy's diagnosis set his parents on a journey seeking answers and changes to the world he lives in. This honest account takes us through their approach in raising their three children, two of whom were diagnosed with autism. The Gallaghers crafted their parenting skills, retained their patience, and met their challenges with love, determination, and fierceness. Believing a cluster of children with autism lived in their hometown, the Gallagher's journey led them to their congressman's office. Alongside Congressman Chris Smith, their efforts led to national legislation, and awareness of the disability. As the reader follows their story, through tragedy of illness, and battles with an unfair system, they will become attached to the Gallagher family, and cheer them on in hopes of a victory. This is not a fairy tale of how autism was defeated, or any miraculous breakthrough. Discover a very personal account of how a family coped from diagnosis to adulthood, through tragedy of illness and their battle with an unfair system. A Brick Wall is a story of how a family has learned that each and every life has value, and you never truly know the part you have played in making the world a better place. Through many of the struggles and often unfair cards dealt, the Gallagher's have persevered to ensure that their children have happy lives, regardless of the severity of their autism. Bobbie and Bill Gallagher's journey led them to their congressman's office. Believing a cluster of children with autism lived in their hometown. With Congressman Chris Smith, their efforts led to national legislation and awareness of the disability. That was just the beginning of the Gallaghers' fight for the treatment and understanding they knew their children deserved. At the core this book is a love story, a love story of a remarkable family set upon the battlefield of a system that was trying to destroy them. This book allows us an intimate insiders view of the Gallagher's epic fight to give their children a life worth living. Their struggles and triumph has impacted the entire Autism community. This simply is a must read for every parent, for every educator and everyone with a heart. What an incredible book, what an incredible journey! ~ Gary Weitzen, Executive Director, POAC Autism Services Written in an intimate, honest, and compassionate way, the Gallagher family's story is captivating, filled with the painful realities and hard-won joys of life with severe autism. As we witness Alanna and Austin's daily and lifelong challenges, I stand in awe of them and their parents' determination and resilience. Much like the untold stories of so many families, this must-read book is both heartbreaking and inspiring! ~ Suzanne Buchanan, Psy.D., BCBA-D, Autism New Jersey From the first sentence Gallagher draws you into the often difficult yet rewarding world of raising two children on the autism spectrum, and she does so with grace, humor, and candor. Her writing spans two decades, taking readers from the early days of diagnosis to how she is creating fulfilling lives for both of her adult children. Amidst the challenges and celebrations outlined in this book she offers hope to parents; it is a must-read for anyone raising an autistic child." ~ Kimberlee Rutan McCafferty, author of Raising Autism: Surviving the Early Years
