Sinossi

Fireproof Skyscrapers explores the science and engineering behind modern skyscraper fire safety, highlighting how these architectural achievements have evolved to better withstand and prevent fire catastrophes. The book examines three core areas: fire-resistant materials, effective fire escape strategies, and advanced fire prevention technologies. Interestingly, steel and concrete are engineered to endure extreme temperatures for extended durations, and protected stairwells play a vital role in safe evacuation.

 
Tracing the history from early steel-frame construction to the present day, the book reviews landmark fire events that influenced building codes, including standards from the NFPA and ICC. The book advocates for an integrated approach combining fire resistance, strategic evacuation, and active prevention.

 
Progressing logically, the book first introduces fire science principles, then investigates materials, analyzes escape strategies, explores prevention systems, and concludes with case studies of successful implementations. This book offers valuable insights for professionals seeking to enhance fire safety in skyscrapers.

    Richie and Mike provide direct practical guidance on the skills and knowledge necessary for jazz to be passed on and performed well. The conversational tone of the book makes for entertaining and worthwhile reading. Those who have been teaching jazz for a long time will appreciate Richie's stories and his fearless opinions on jazz including how the teaching and learning of it are evolving (for good and for bad). 
    For readers new to teaching, they will gain a perspective and perhaps some greater insight into jazz education that your students want from you and benefit from. 
    Justin DiCioccio of the Manhattan School of Music called it the best book on jazz education he's ever read. Why?Because of the stories that will capture student's attention on things like the art of jazz time (swing), dynamics, 'wrong' notes, the right amount of notes, and how the masters think about musicA view of what can and cannot be taught in the process of making students better jazz playersHow to be more motivating and effective with studentsA candid and pointed review of the film, Whiplash, and what it teaches us to defend against in our roles as jazz educatorsFly on the wall insight into one of Richie's most inspired trio recordings with George Mraz and Al Foster. 
    Students of jazz will appreciate:How to choose the right school for one's personal needs and ambitionsMany of the skills that musicians need in order to be successful that are not taught in the classroomHow best to use some of the more popular digital tools for learning and practicing jazzRichie's telling of the blow-by-blow experience of group interaction while recording the Tune "Nardis" with George Mraz and Al Foster 
    A chapter is dedicated to a review of the movie Whiplash, a film about a college jazz gig band led by a tyrannical conductor played by J.K. Simmons.

Examining personality traits in the Big Five model highlights maximizing strengths while overcoming weaknesses.
