Okay not great
Reasonably well written, reasonably complete. Not a lot of detail about construction techniques. I would have preferred more info about the actual how to...

Real People-Real Projects (Hometime Series)
I'd rate this book in the middle of the scale simply because it didn't really give me what I wanted (but may be fine for others).I'm already well versed in do-it-yourself projects so I don't need baby steppingthrough basic electrical, drywall etc.What I was really looking for wastangible information on both the interior design aspects of a basement(lighting consideration, codes etc) and specific basement constructiontechniques.By the latter, I mean actually making the walls andwaterproofing (I don't have a basement right now and I need to replace theexisting foundation).This book assumed you already had a basement andthat you were simply building it out (and don't know construction).

I wasalso looking for lots of pictures of other people's basements for ideas. The book was wanting in that area.If you are searching for the sameinformation as I, then the 'Better Homes and Garden Book' is probably abetter choice.If you are new to construction, already have a basement andknow what you want to do, then this book is OK. ...

get another book
Very disorganized.It talks about the same thing over and over in different sections.Then it misses other topics all together.It does not talk about cutting inside corners in shower stalls, using a rubber mallet, and a variety of other ciritcal steps.

I purchased this book and used it while tiling a kitchen floor. The whole concept of leveling the tile seems to have been completely missed in this book. The tool section doesn't mention or show a rubber mallet to bang themdown. The book doesn't mention using a level or a 2x4 to even the floor.Nothing. I would choose one of the other books which people have reviewedwell. ... Read more

From the author: Using survey methods, this study examines demographic and professional characteristics and experiences of participating African American deans and directors of schools of social work in the United States. An examination of deans and directors has implications for the future of social work education in terms of understanding their critical role as academic leaders. Furthermore, the focus on these academic leaders is important given the emphasis on diversity and a need for multiculturalism in social work education. Descriptive data were analyzed from a 55-item instrument and a sample of 16 survey respondents. Results indicate similarities and differences in personal and professional characteristics, experiences, and challenges of participating African American social work deans and directors relative to national samples. Implications for aspiring academic leaders are discussed.
