 Structures: Or Why Things Don't Fall Down $18.95 Well written, interesting book on a subject that most of us see daily. Explains basic principals in terms of real life examples from ships and bridges to animals. Material is presented with a minimum of math and provides an excellent conceptual overview of the subject. This is my second copy, I mailed my origional copy off to our daughter. Second read was as good as the first.  Materials, Structures, and Standards: All the Details Architects Need to Know But Can Never Find $30.00 I know it says all the details an "Architect" needs to know, but I'm studying Landscape Architecture and I had to buy my own copy because my Architecture neighbor was tired of retrieving her copy off of my desk.  Building Structures Illustrated: Patterns, Systems, and Design $45.00 The product was fine. It took about two weeks longer to get to me then I expected. |
