Review

"...a timely and very significant contribution...will remain a reference for many years...presented in an extremely captivating manner..." (Fire Safety Journal, No. 39, 2004)

Product Description

Based on the successful course which the author has been teaching for some years at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, this text shows engineers how they can build fire protection into their products, whether they are dealing with an engineering plant, machine, building or its contents. Covering general considerations which relate to the application of all fire protection engineering, the text also examines specific problem areas such as warehousing, storage of flammable liquids, and the safety of electrical equipment and computers. Features include:
* Presentation of the latest research in the field, such as the protection of cabling from fire
* Offers full international coverage, giving reference to European as well as American codes and standards
* A variety of up-to-date and international case studies, making this text as relevant to the practitioner as well as the academic sector
* Addresses problems in a manner that is practical and immediately relevant

The book contains very useful information to apply at my job. It is in very good conditions and was received in time. I recommend strongly to buy used books because of good price.

Fast & reliable service. Books arrived sooner than advertised. Would have been better/cheaper to pay for one shipping rate, rather than multiple, as I had ordered the books from the same seller. Resulted in paying for expensive and unwarranted shipping service and three separate parcels arriving on separate days. Also, products arrived from Gloucester UK, not DE US, as advertised. Not satisfactory.
