Reviews
...A long-needed collection of information on how specific problems have been approached and solved...To me the most valuable use of Technical Brief is not how to copy how someone else solved a particular problem, but to see the approach, materials, and techniques that were used which give me an idea how I might approach the problems I need to solve. Robert R. Scales, Ph.D., Dean of USC School of Theatre Anyone involved with set design and construction will find it a useful addition to the bookshelf. Lighting & Sound
