Posted September 16, 200915 yr For some classes I am taking this fall, I need a couple books I can't find online. Does anyone know where I can get the following books? Site Planning (1998) by Lynch Guide to Planning in Ohio (2007) Evans-Cowley I don't have ISBNs for those books, and that's probably why I'm having trouble finding them.
September 16, 200915 yr Sweet. Thanks... though the instructor indicated a publish date of 1998... that edition was published in 1984. That another reason why I having a hard time finding the one I need. gahh!
September 16, 200915 yr When I first read the title of this thread, I thought it was "Need a couple of bucks" LOL
September 16, 200915 yr Sweet. Thanks... though the instructor indicated a publish date of 1998... that edition was published in 1984. That another reason why I having a hard time finding the one I need. gahh! Oh, my bad. The latest one Amazon seems to carry is dated 1990, and it's a hardcover. Sorry, man.
September 16, 200915 yr No.. .I appreciate it. I'm at a loss for these books. The prof will just have to deal with me not having them the first day... especially since he hasn't had the campus bookstore order them either. MTS - I could use a couple bucks, too. :-P
September 16, 200915 yr Have you tried Ohio Link? I used to get hard to find stuff from other Ohio Universities for classes. I don't know if you're doing university classes, but I think the libraries use this system too.
September 16, 200915 yr UC Library and OhioLink were awesome. Like a gold mine! I borrowed all the books I didn't want to buy and keep. I need a lot of books for this quarter. Ugh. Plan Graphics for Landscape Desighner (2nd ed) Drawing Shortcuts Contemporary Urban Planning (8th) Guide to Planning in Ohio (2007 Site Analysis: Linking Program and Concept in Land Planning and Design (2001) Site Planning (1998) A Concise Guide to Community Planning Residential Development Handbook (2nd) Design by Density: New Directions in Residential Development (2000) GIS Tutorial - Updated for ArcGIS 9.3, Workbook for ArcView 9 (3rd) World History of Architecture (2nd) [buildings Across Time]
September 16, 200915 yr I have a copy of Site Planning (1998) you can borrow if you can figure a good way to get it from Cleveland to Cincy, and then back at the end of the quarter/semester. ISBN 0-262-12106-9
September 16, 200915 yr Ohiolink is the neatest thing since sliced bread! I use it all the time (though I am limited by my community card to the number of books I can take out).
September 16, 200915 yr Good luck! Why would a planner professor want something from ancient times? If you listen to some of the planners on UO nothing before the year 2000 was ever planned, it just happened! At least not here in Cincinnati, from Riverfront Stadium, to the 1968 Fountain Square redo, to University Plaza, to the Skywalk!
September 17, 200915 yr DanB, I'm not sure where you get that idea... But I can tell you that Cincinnati was the FIRST city in the US to actually have a master plan. I want to say that was in 1925 or so. But before then, there really wasn't much of a plan to cities. They were organic and developed around people and their needs. As those cities got larger, that created the need for planning. I did get all my books from the UC Library and OhioLink. From there, I can decide which text books I actually want to purchase. X, I got site planning from OhioLink, but thanks for the offer. Lol.
