Designed for crafters, puzzle lovers, and pattern designers alike,
Crafting Conundrums: Puzzles and Patterns for the Bead Crochet
Artist provides methods, challenges, and patterns that offer a
springboard for creative exploration. All are illustrated with
beautiful color diagrams and photographs. Experienced bead crochet
crafters looking for a project may choose to skip ahead to the
pattern pages and begin crocheting from an abundance of unique,
mathematically inspired designs. Those wishing to design their own
patterns will find many useful tools, template patterns, and a new
methodology for understanding how to do so even without using math.
Puzzle lovers without previous knowledge of bead crochet will also
find ample inspiration for learning the craft. The first part of
the book describes the basic requirements and constraints of a bead
crochet pattern and explains what makes designing in this medium so
tricky. The authors present their new design framework and offer
insight on how best to approach design choices and issues unique to
bead crochet. The second part presents a series of bead crochet
design challenges informed by colorful bits of mathematics,
including topology, graph theory, knot theory, tessellations, and
wallpaper groups. Each chapter in this section begins with a design
puzzle accompanied by an introduction to the mathematical idea that
inspired it. The authors then discuss what made the challenge
difficult, present some of their solutions, and describe the
thinking and ideas behind their approach. The final part contains
nearly 100 original bead crochet patterns, including solutions to
all the design challenges. This part also provides a tutorial on
the fundamentals of bead crochet technique. Behind the deceptively
simple and uniform arrangement of beads is a subtle geometry that
produces compelling design challenges and fascinating mathematical
structures. In color throughout, Crafting Conundrums gives both
math enthusiasts and crafters an innovative approach to creating
bead crochet patterns while addressing a variety of mathematically
inspired design questions. Supplementary materials, including demo
videos, are available on the book's CRC Press web page.

The FIDIC (Fdration Internationale Des Ingnieurs-Conseils /
International Federation of Consulting Engineers) Forms of Contract
are used to provide a recognizable common basis of agreement where
the project and the principal contract are international, and
consist of a suite of contracts. The FIDIC Contracts: Law and
Practice covers the full range of FIDIC contracts, providing legal
commentary, detailed clause-by-clause analysis, and relevant case
law for each of the different forms. The book provides a
comprehensive reference for those using the FIDIC forms on contract
in international construction and engineering projects. Containing
a good blend of practitioner and academic opinion, it highlights
controversial issues and outlines the main schools of thought. It
is suitable for lawyers practicing in international procurement and
dispute resolution. It will also be of benefit to engineers,
project managers, quantity surveyors, architects, contractors, and
others.
