science theory. This groundbreaking research makes Political

Digital Design Exercises for Architecture Students teaches you the
basics of digital design and fabrication tools with creative design
exercises, featuring over 200 illustrations, which emphasize
process and evaluation as key to designing in digital mediums. The
book is software neutral, letting you choose the software with
which to edit raster and vector graphics and to model digital
objects. The clear, jargon-free introductions to key concepts and
terms help you experiment and build your digital media skills.
During the fabrication exercises you will learn strategies for
laser cutting, CNC (computer-numerically controlled) milling, and
3D printing to help you focus on the processes of design thinking.
Reading lists and essays from practitioners, instructors, and
theorists ground the exercises in both broader and deeper contexts
and encourage you to continue your investigative journey.
Aloysius creates 'accidents' that kill. He fled a notorious Irish
care home and has built a life as a hitman, travelling Europe and
ending lives for cash. Now veteran government recruiter Imelda
Feather, 64, wants him back to slay four of the nation's most hated
people. It takes guile to lure him in, to convince him it's not a
second betrayal by the powers-that-be in Ireland. On the cusp of
the hundredth anniversary of the formation of the state, Aloysius,
40, finds himself a key player in the most extraordinary 'PR
operation' in history. An evil loan shark, a wicked former priest
and a wildly controversial female politician find themselves in his
sights. But when he learns more about his fourth target, Aloysius
must reverse the roles - and hunter becomes hunted. Narrated by the
protagonist, Aloysius Tempo is a story of finding a place in a
world where trust has crumbled and, more than ever, ends justify
means. As Aloysius works to build a future and shake away the past,
this story sees him begin to move in time with his country.
Sinker thrusts us into the story of Baker Forley. He begins the
novel as a sweet, unassuming Irish man who is revealed to be a
promising newcomer to the world's most controversial sport -
professional drinking. Ambition fuels his talent as he strives to
make something of his life, but he is plagued by worries that he
could die from his job, through alcohol poisoning. Frequent
fatalities occur, as players often drop dead during games. When his
popularity lands him a spot at the infamous Bullfight competition
in sun-baked Mallorca, Baker believes that his luck has turned. But
when his drunken eye is drawn to a Saudi beauty, her bodyguard
steps over and floors him. The bodyguard's boss - a Saudi oil baron
- invites Baker to his magnificent, surreal, Gaudi-designed palace
to hear an apology. Baker - joined by his over-ebullient coach
Ratface - gets an offer he can't refuse: "Teach the crazy
billionaire Sheikh to drink like a pro and in turn he'll make you
rich." Later, as illicit lust flares between Baker and the oil
baron's sober wife; he learns the real reason why he has been asked
along. It's a set up, and he's about to be framed for killing a
Sheikh. After three days of industrial-level drinking and dealing
with Ratface's random groping, can Baker break free?
