5.		High Steel: The Daring Men Who Built the World's Greatest Skyline from HarperCollins Price: $4.63 Customer Review: The samplings i read from your book read akin to a piece wrote more than 50 years previous-"McSorley's Wonderful Saloon", by Joseph Mitchell. Is there one reference to Joseph Mitchell in your book-or commentaries discussing your book?

6.		Metal Building Systems: Design and Specifications from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $74.24 Customer Review: The foundations for pre-engineered steel buildings are somewhat unique in the field of architectural engineering and pose some design problems that have to be addressed in the field.

7.		Unified Design of Steel Structures from Wiley Price: $39.95 Customer Review: I purchased this book to help me study for the SE exam. You need to know the AISC 13th edition backwards and forwards for that exam and I liked the idea that Geschwindner helped write AISC 13th, who better to explain it? The book is not very long, which was a bonus for me as I can't invest the time... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Structural Stability of Steel: Concepts and Applications for Structural Engineers from Wiley Price: $82.19 Customer Review: I had a graduate course in buckling that covered the material in this book. It would have been nice to have this as a textbook for that course. It clearly explains where many of the formulas in the AISC code come from. (e.g. alignment charts) A few cautionary notes: a lot of mathematical details are... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.	[no image]	Modeling of bracing members and seismic behavior of concentrically braced steel structures (Research report UMCE) from Dept. of Civil Engineering, University of Michigan Customer Review: This was a different type of biography in that it truly concentrated on the psyche of the subject instead of a spattering of personality and a strong brush stroke of history. There is something to be said about feeling as if you're reading a psychological analysis of our 3rd President, but to be... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Steel, Concrete, and Composite Design of Tall Buildings from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $72.99 Customer Review: This book provides an excellent overview of structural systems and design concepts for tall buildings. It is an updated version of an earlier book by the author. However, it is not current up to date with the latest AISC and ACI design codes. There is little or no discussion of advanced analysis... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

14.		Corrugated Iron: Building on the Frontier from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $41.89 Customer Review: Disappointed in this book. Oh, it has great photos and I loved the early English country churches but I did not need to see any photos of slums. I found only about 20% of the buildings were in the US, curious since a nice Lake/Flato pony barn is pictured on the cover. Their few buildings represented... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

18.		Cold-Formed Steel Design, 3rd Edition from Wiley-Interscience Price: $168.06 Customer Review: I have not gone through 1 chapter yet. But the inroduction is already illuminating about aspects of cold-formed members, which are not so clearly explained in other books I've come across. The only setback is it is not in SI units, making it hard to use in places like Singapore.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Empire State Building: When New York Reached for the Skies (Wonders of the World Book) from Mikaya Press Price: $1.69 Customer Review: There they are--hugging the walls of the hallway, eight silver cases, taller than I am, which open out into triptyches of a reader's delight--so many books. Cartons of books are piled on top of these treasure mines. On my way to work in After School Care, I found a chair, opened nearly all the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

24.		High-rise Manual from Birkhäuser Architecture Price: $61.31 Customer Review: When I think of the word "manual", I think of a detailed explanation and how to guide. This book provides neither. It is a collection of papers by various authors on various aspects of high-rise design. It wasn't detailed enough in the structural engineering arena for me to get much out of it (i.e.... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		Forged Architectural Metalwork from Crowood Press Price: $28.18 Customer Review: While I can't call myself a professional blacksmith I've spent much of the last 25 years involved with ornamental and architectural iron.
