The quality of the light around us has a profound impact on our emotional well-being that should not be underestimated. This research will focus on the lighting inside hospitals' rooms and health care amenities, starting with a brief research about lighting designs in hospitals in general and its design principles. Through research, general studies and case studies, this research then will identify the mechanisms of the lighting design by focusing on how light impacts human health and performance in the interior spaces, and review the literature linking light with health outcomes in healthcare settings. In addition, the research will cover the appropriate types and best distributions of light fixtures inside all the spaces of a hospital including entrances, corridors, waiting rooms, examination rooms, imaging rooms and patient rooms. The importance of this research is visible in the benefits and outcomes of the lighting when it's well applied in hospitals. Choosing the right light in the right place would help to enhance the healing of a patient and make his staying -at a hospital- better, improve doctors and staff functionality, and create a healthier and better environment.

Summary
Little Critter: Just Big Enough, written and illustrated in full color by bestselling author Mercer Mayer, offers a gentle but important lesson about bullying.
In this 8x8 paperback, Little Critter is being bullied. Bigger kids steal his seat on the bus, eat his cupcakes, and won't let him play football with them.
Little Critter decides he has to get bigger, too. So he stuffs himself with vegetables, exercises until he's exhausted, and turns himself a growing machine. He's so disappointed when his hard work fails.
But his grandfather helps him see that bigger isn't always better. With this encouragement, Little Critter leads a team of smaller kids in a relay race against the big kids. And the little kids win!
