This book assembles topics and areas of interest related to steel design and construction in one accessible volume, which will be welcomed by students, instructors and practitioners alike, as previously this information was only available through piecemeal sources of various books and internet sites. In addition to the sheer wealth of information presented in this book, both textual and graphic, it is Professor Meyer Boake's educator's eye that lifts this book above its predecessors and competitors. Because of its wonderfully useful scope and innovative approach, this book is certain to be at the top of the required reading list for structures courses across North America, and should be on every architect's and structural engineer's bookshelf.
