Renoir used volume and texture to conjure intimacy--from social intimacy among family and friends, to the eroticThe filmmaker Jean Renoir, son of Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, described how his father "looked at flowers, women and clouds in the sky as other men touch and caress." Impressionism is generally conceived of as purely visual, an optical exploration of light-dappled surfaces and shifting colors. Renoir: Intimacy instead focuses on the central role of tactile sensations in Renoir's canvases. In all the different phases of his long career, working in a variety of genres (including group scenes, portraits, nudes, still lifes and landscapes), Renoir powerfully evoked the sense of touch. Renoir: Intimacy reveals the ways Renoir made use of the tactile qualities of volume, material and texture as a vehicle to depict intimacy in its different forms--from social intimacy among family and friends, to the erotic--and how that imagery is viscerally connected to the sensuality of the artist's brushstroke and the physical surfaces of his paintings. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, this gorgeous volume includes more than 75 works by the artist, loaned from museums and private collections worldwide.

The nature of the loading must first be understood before applying the structural engineering principles set out in the Eurocodes. For this reason this book is meant as a guide to four separate documents, EN1991 Part 1.2, EN1992 Part 1.2, EN1993 Part 1.2 and EN1994 Part 1.2 with reference where appropriate to the Eurocode covering the basis of design, EC06. The fire design procedures for reinforced and prestressed concrete structures are contained in the relevant parts of the code, BS81104,5. However, the structural Eurocodes consider steel, composite and concrete construction in isolation and each material therefore has its own corresponding fire part. In this case, a clause-by-clause examination of the fire parts of the material codes would not be sufficient to allow designers to use these documents. The guide takes the form of an introduction to the procedures required to achieve design solutions for a typical range of structural elements and assemblies. Worked examples are included along with appropriate text to illustrate the use of the Eurocodes for specific design scenarios. As a way of setting the scene for those unfamiliar with the basic principles of structural fire engineering design the next section provides an overview of the regulatory framework and a description of the commonly used methods for ensuring compliance with the regulations.

(Book). This perennial favorite among drummers helps players develop their bass drum technique and increase their flexibility through the mastery of exercises. "I used Colin Bailey's Bass Drum Control book to develop my SINGLE bass drum playing and DOUBLE bass drum playing. I had the good fortune to get together with Colin and have him show me some of his insights into the bass drum pedal technique and found it to be very useful." Steve Smith

(Book). This book by Bass Drum Control (06620020) author Colin Bailey is written for drummers with limited experience in playing jazz and the kind of soloing it requires. Colin helps drummers become more comfortable with phrasing drum solos, and teaches stock phrases (licks) around which to build effective solos. The online audio features tracks of Colin playing and soloing with guitar and bass, then the same tracks with no drum parts so drummers can play along. Also available by Bailey: Bass Drum Control Solos (06620068).
