Customer Reviews

product arrived as promised

It felt like the book to a little longer than expected, but arrived as advertised. Good transaction.

boring, but useful...

I bought this book to help as an aid in my studies and it did halp give a better understanding of structural engineering.

I am taking a Structures class for my construction management degree. I purchased this textbook as a back up to the one that was assigned. The illustrations and sample problems cover the topic clearly and systematically. I recommend the book for those interested.

Illustrated Concepts for Architecture

Usually, when you're turned off by a technical book, it isn't because you're too stupid to read it - it's because the concepts lack illustration in a way that promotes stimulation. This book has big helpings of illustrations made especially to enhance the experiences of learning what would otherwise be difficult or at the least abstract ideas in statics. The thrust is architecture, but the worth of the book goes beyond architecture into engineering. Excellent for community college courses in construction and mechanics.
