Review
Aitcin, a well-respected researcher, has produced a very valuable contribution to the literature on high-performance concrete: a well written, excellent synthesis of a great deal of information. The book is as up-to-date as is possible in such a rapidly expanding field of research. . . A necessary addition to any library's colllection. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
