Cities Without Ground A Hong
Cities Without Ground: A Hong Kong Guidebook
Hong Kong is a city without ground. This is true both physically (built on steep slopes, the city has no ground plane) and culturally (there is no concept of ground). Density obliterates figure-ground in the city, and in turn re-defines public-private spatial relationships. Perception of distance and time is distorted through compact networks of pedestrian infrastructure, public transport and natural topography in the urban landscape.
Without a ground, there can be no figure either. In fa

Great for students,
A nice update of the Version 6.1 book,
Good book but too lengthy.,
Sheer torture,
This book is disorganized, vague and contains errors! It’s a chore to read, and the authors/editors have done a poor job of “connecting the dots” for readers — i.e., they don’t explain fundamental concepts & terms before delving into the complex implications and interrelationships of a feature. For example, they mention the importance of database objects when first introducing authorities (pg. 164), but don’t bother to sufficiently explain or give examples of what a database object (vs. a database) is until the next chapter (on page 199). There are countless incidents like this. The book comes with a great sample database that you can work with; however, the publisher didn’t bother to ensure that the author’s code samples correspond with the database. So, for instance, on page 239 in chapter 5 if you attempt to use the code the authors provide, you will spend more time figuring out why it doesn’t work than watching their example do what they claim it does. This book is exasperating and maddening. It desperately needs to be reorganized and could benefit from a well-written glossary. However, it does provide a lot of necessary detail (even though it’s not presented well) and the sample database and the copy of DB2 UDB Personal Edition v7.1 that it comes with are invaluable for anyone who does not have access to UDB.
