Construction - Craft to Industry,
By
This review is from: Construction - Craft to Industry (Paperback)
This looked like a wonderful addition to my library for teaching Construction Management, despite the ridiculously high price. Unfortunately, the book is missing the last 40 pages, including the chronology and other reference materials essential to its appropriate use. Don't pay this price for such poor quality printing.
