 Good to get famliar with construction January 9, 2009
This book is useful for getting familiar with the steps and parts that go into a construction project. It also will teach the reader some of the lingo for construction. It is a very basic book to the materials and methods of construction.
 Positive Review October 14, 2008
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.
