Title: Structural design for the stage
Description: "This book provides the theater technician with a foundation in structural design allowing an intuitive understanding of "why sets stand up." It introduces the basics of statics and the study of the strength of materials as they apply to typical scenery, with a minimum of theory and many examples. The material is presented such that only a basic knowledge of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry is required.

This useful text is also invaluable to professionals as a permanent handbook complete with carefully selected reference tables, which are applicable to most theatrical situations."--BOOK JACKET.
