4.	[no image]	Fundamentals of Building Construction: Materials and Methods from John Wiley & Sons Price: $10.01 Customer Review: The book could have gone into greater depth about reinforcing steel and formwork for concrete but these are minor drawbacks in an otherwise really helpful book which is a must for the budding architect and construction engineer or indeed for anyone working in the construction industry.This volume... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Mechanics of Materials from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $119.96 Customer Review: I could not follow the examples or the chapter explanations. I felt as though Beer and Johnson do not want me to understand the basic concepts. I would spend hours on a few problems and understand about half the material. I would buy LINDEBURG books on fundamentals of engineering. Do not buy this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Engineering Mechanics Dynamic and Student FBD Workbook Package (10th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $65.00 Customer Review: Amazon offered this book for a college class for my son.

9.	[no image]	Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning from Goodheart-Willcox Co Inc.,U.S. Price: $33.25 Customer Review: I was specifically looking for detailed information on how to adjust a commercial dehumidifier, and the book just had short bits and pieces on those units.

Great diagrams and loads... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Civil Discipline Specific Review for the FE/EIT Exam from Professional Publications, Inc. Price: $65.00 Customer Review: This book is simply a set of problems and solutions of Civil Engineering problems that are similar to the FE. The problems in the book are on the level of the actual FE examination (unlike the general FE exam book) so you can see what to expect by using this book. One major downside to this... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers (Dover Books on Advanced Mathematics) from Dover Publications Price: $9.99 Customer Review: Having gotten the dover books on ODE and Advanced Calc, I was expecting the same quality of presentation here...

12.		Practice Problems for the Civil Engineering PE Exam: A Companion to the Civil Engineering Reference Manual from Professional Publications, Inc. Price: $65.00 Customer Review: The practice problems coordinate with the Lindeburg reference manual. So there is a lot of stuff in this book that is not tested material on the PE Exam. I also found that the construction area was severly lacking in content. Be careful when using this reference as some of the approaches to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

14.		On Architecture (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.24 Customer Review: A book which was at the heart of architectural theory for over 1500 years can't be entirely outdated. Many of the issues and ideas which Vitruvius brings up are still relevant to modern architecture and, at the very least, give us an idea of the theory behind much architecture, both before and after... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Elementary Surveying: An Introduction to Geomatics (12th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $119.99 Customer Review: This textbook still has errors in it even though I have the 11th edition, I checked against a copy of the 12th. If they are just going to keep errors in there why put out a newer edition? A person could just stay with an older one. I guess its just a way for publishers to make some money at the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.		Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $73.83 Customer Review: The content of Roark's Formulas is very handy for a desk reference type book and is referred to in many other works like Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers and Design of Weldments and Design of Welded Structures by Omer Blodgett. My copy of the 7th edition looks like the pages... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


21.		Civil Engineering All-In-One PE Exam Guide: Breadth and Depth from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $68.98 Customer Review: This book is simply excellent. Lindeburg is a good book to have with you during the exam, but I think I only opened it a couple times. I did not use Lindeburg to study. There is no flow to the book, although it has literally every possible topic in it (although only half of them are useful).more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

The Works: Anatomy of a City from Penguin Press HC, The Price: $5.48 Customer Review: I was at a local book fair and stumbled across this book, flipped through a few pages, and decided to pick it up for $2.50.

I do have an... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		The Art of Construction: Projects and Principles for Beginning Engineers & Architects (Ziggurat Book) from Chicago Review Press Price: $4.95 Customer Review: My 12 year-old son has a love of architecture and design so we purchased this book as a supplement to his homeschooling studies.

It has simple model building activities to make that... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
