18.		Why Buildings Stand Up: The Strength of Architecture from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $7.74 Customer Review: The contents of the book are interesting; alas, and probably because it was written over 30 years ago, the author has stuck to the exclusive use of the now outdated Imperial units, making the book almost useless for readers educated outside Burma, Liberia and the US of A.

21.		Foundations & Concrete Work (Best of Fine Homebuilding) from Taunton Press Price: $5.94 Customer Review: [...] This forum has better information then the book. That's sad.

22.		Fundamentals of Structural Analysis from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $118.99 Customer Review: Well frankly I didn't much care for this text.

27.		Real-Time Collision Detection (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Interactive 3-D Technology) from Morgan Kaufmann Price: $44.92 Customer Review: Even though I got this book from another source other than Amazon, I believe it's worth noting that this book is excellent.
