Every engineer must have one copy of this book.This is an updated edition of the previous ones.Very detailed description and pictures about construction.

We used this book in my building construction class i took as a second year architecture student. The book is good for people who are learning the basics of how things work, are put together, what types of materials are used for different situations, etc. However if you are looking for detailed drawings, I would go elsewhere. The book is good for generalized explanations, so I did learn a lot from it.

this book is an excellent overview of construction materials and practices. i really recommend this book to beginning structural/civil engineers who want to know more about construction. I would absolutely recommend this to architects because it's very practical.

I am a construction engineering major and we used this textbook in our construction materials class, and I must say that it is fantastic. It covers a wide array of materials and methods used throughout the construction industry and it gives history lessons on said materials and processes. *This is a definite MUST HAVE for any architects, civil/structural engineers, construction managers/engineers, as well as M.E.P. engineers and applied engineering designers/ET's.* -M.

I found this book to be very good. The materials and methods used in construction are vast and constantly changing. This book does well at giving the reader a good working knowledge of both. There may be better sources, but this one is good enough.

The price was excellent and the comments were accurate. The book is in excellent condition!

This book was incredibly helpful. It was just what I wanted and needed. It was in perfect condition. This book completely overviews, with detail, the many different areas of materials used in architecture and construction, from the past to the present. Very detailed and very accurate.

I got the book I need in a very good condition, available as fast as possible, and with a accepted price. Thanks to every one works in amazon.

I need it this book fast and in good condition because I was enrolled in a construction summer course. The conditions of the book exceeded my expectations takin in consideration the price I paid for the product. The only setback was that it took a little to long to arrive but, overall I am very pleased and will defenetly buy again from this seller.

The book was in good condition, no noticible damage. It was a book I needed for class and this was the best deal I found for it. I would buy again.
