Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 107 pages : illustrations ; 29 cm. Premise This book is for people who want to build their own domes. It's also for those who are interested in domes and want to learn more about them. We've tried to put together a clear explanation of what they are all about, with as gentle an introduction to the technical side as possible. We don't want to offer blueprints, but rather a collection of ideas from which you can choose to plan your own dome. The dome you design yourself will be the best for you. This book is written by the only real dome experts we have the people who have been out there building their own domes. They can tell you what works and what doesn't from their own hard-won experience. They have taken the time and trouble to detail those experiences for the rest of us and we owe them all our heart-felt thanks. One of our aims is to point out the problems as well as the advantages of domes-not that we wish to discourage anyone. We do want to foster a practical and realistic view of domes. There has been a lot of soft-headed enthusiasm about domes. They have been proclaimed as an instant solution to all housing problems. This is misleading, to say the least. If you want to build a dome because they are cheaper than other forms of construction, you may be disappointed. Domes are still experimental, and when you need special tools or hardware you will have to improvise. The minor hassles and bugs you encounter will probably eat up any cost advantage. And remember that the bare shell is only a fraction of the cost of a finished house. If you want a dome because you've been dazzled by over- dramatic dome hype, you may tackle a project bigger than you can handle without seeing the practical difficulties. If you have plenty of enthusiasm but aren't sure of your ability, a small play dome or a meditation dome in the back yard will probably satisfy you, and it will provide valuable experience. If you want to build a full fledged dome house, it should be because you want to live in that kind of space and are willing to go to a little extra trouble to have a house that is unique. We hope that this book will make you want to get involved with domes, even if you never build one. That's why we've included so many models and model ideas. The beauty and symmetry of dome forms cannot really be described in words or shown in a photograph. It has to be experienced directly, at first hand. You will find a lot of references to Domebook 2 in this book. simply because it is the best collection of basic dome know-how available. It's been very convenient to be able to say "see Domebook 2, p xx" instead of repeating things that we've had no direct experience with. Of course, Domebook 2 does not have the last word on domes, nor will any book as long as domes continue to evolve. This book should not be considered as a repeat or a replacement of Domebook 2, but as a supplement, building on previous experience and hopefully filling in some of the gaps. We want to see more people building domes. We'll listen to your ideas, look at your plans. We'd like to hear your comments and suggestions about this book. If you found something wrong or hard to understand, let us know. This book is far from being as complete as we'd like it to be. If you know of books, people, materials, products, or tools that we missed, please tell us. We'd like the second edition of this book to be as big an improvement over the first as Domebook 2 was over Domebook 1. Consider this a beginning.…
