Looked interesting and had good reviews so thought I would give it a read
Studying Civil Engineering at University and this was on one of the extra reading lists. Looked interesting and had good reviews so thought I would give it a read. Wasn't disappointed. Very informative but also interesting. Was quite an enjoyable read considering it is degree related. Goes very well with the other book Why Buildings Fall Down. I read them both.

Well written and engaging book
The author engages the reader from the outset - not too wordy for the layman and still interesting for a lifetime construction manager like myself - a good book to have on the shelf.
