Review: "Building Construction Handbook is a reference for all students and professionals. It is full of drawings that illustrate the construction of building elements. The principles and processes of construction are explained with the concepts of design included where appropriate. Coverage of building practice and techniques are also included to provide a guide to building construction."--Book jacket
