5.0 out of 5 stars The most integrated book covering the subject, October 18, 1999
By A Customer
I've been using this book for more than 12 years of practice (several editions) and I found it's the best for both students and practicing engineers. One of the good things about it is that it covers the theory as well as the code provisons for practice and makes the logical connections in the shortest wy it can be done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful and comprehensive book for practitioners, May 22, 2001
By M. A. Adnan (Lahore, Pakistan) - See all my reviews
This book is very good for practitioners who need to look up something they have forgotten. It can be useful for beginning students, but as far as understanding concepts is concerned, MacGregor's is the best. For a beginner, Nilson's book sometimes gets too cluttered. MacGregor's book covers almost everything in Nilson's book, but with greater emphasis on conceptual understanding.
