BOOK
A Type Primer
John Kane
$42.81

About this product:
For beginning and intermediate typography courses. Practical and hands-on in approach, this text/exercise manual speaks clearly to beginning students of graphic design about the complex meeting of message, image, and history that is typography. Focused on intent and content, not affect or style, it makes informed distinctions between what is appropriate and what is merely show. Filled with examples, exercises, and background information--and designed itself to reflect good typographic design--it guides students systematically to the point where they can not only understand but demonstrate basic principles of typography, and thereby strengthen their own typographic instincts.

About this product:
Muscle is built with weights, food, rest and sweat. All bodybuilders create their bodies with these four elements ... in the beginning. But there comes a time when the muscle gains slow down. This is when they need to increase their body's anabolic, or muscle-building, capacity. Increasing the body's anabolic capacity is what Anabolic Primer is all about. Every bodybuilder is inundated with ads that this or that supplement will bring him to the next bodybuilding realm. But what's the truth? Anabolic Primer wades through the scientific data and gives you the real lowdown-- information worth its weight in gold.

BOOK
The Los Alamos Primer: The First Lectures on How To Build an Atomic Bomb
Robert Serber
$38.71

About this product:
In April 1943, a young physicist named Robert Serber stood up before a small group of fellow scientists in a laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and, as one attendee later recalled, began to speak in "a hazy, uncertain voice" about the project on which they would all be working. "The object," he said, "is to produce a practical military weapon in the form of a bomb in which the energy is released by a fast neutron chain reaction in one or more of the materials known to show nuclear fission." That mechanism, of course, was the atomic bomb, which a little more than two years later would be used against Japan.

In the following weeks, Serber touched on many themes, racing to an array of chalkboards to scribble complex formulas and equations. Among other things, he addressed how big a bomb would need to be in order to achieve critical mass--between 13.5 centimeters and 9 centimeters, he calculated--and what the probability of premature detonation might be. (It was, he concluded, always a danger.) At the end of the series, his lecture notes, classified as top secret, were gathered and printed for distribution to later cadres of scientists who came to work at Los Alamos. Years after the war they were declassified, and Serber, who died in May of 1997, took the opportunity to reflect on his work and the strange culture of the laboratory, adding postscripts and other commentary reproduced in the present edition.

Serber's book is an important document in the history of science, and remains one of the most accessible introductions to nuclear physics ever written. (On that note, those who worry that it is all too easy to find bomb-building instructions in the library or on the Web should rest assured: these lectures were tough for the greatest theoretical physicists of the time to follow.) It all makes for provocative reading. --Gregory McNamee

BOOK
Design Matters: Packaging 01: An Essential Primer for Today's Competitive Market
$15.73

About this product:

The nuts and bolts of effective package design

The design bar is at an all-time high for those brave enough to participate in the industry. Today's designers must be clear on all the steps necessary to create work that stands out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Unfortunately, most design books only focus on type, color, and layout issues. The Design Matters series takes a more in-depth approach, allowing designers to learn not only how to create work that is aesthetically appealing, but also strategy-driven and smart.

This book focuses on developing, creating and implementing package designs, while others in the series dissect brochures, logos, publications, and letterhead systems. Each book offers all the essential information needed to execute strong designs in concert with beautiful and well-crafted examples, so readers can successfully hit the mark every time.
