   Book Review


From Book News, Inc.
This standard reference is cited in Books for College Libraries, 1st ed., but is inexplicably absent in Books for College Libaries, 3d ed.. This is the new edition of the architect's desktop reference that details the latest changes in regulations, standards, building methods, structural systems, and materials in use today. Each page is a self-contained data sheet, with visual representations of installation and design configurations and recommended performance specifications for all building systems and components from door frames, roof designs, and air ducts, to outdoor sports facilities and historic preservation. New to this edition are chapters on accessibility and security design, plus expanded coverage of seven new building systems, lighting designs, new materials, and environmental construction. Oversize: 9.50x11.75.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR


Review
"But there is no question that libraries with any interest in architecture, building, remodeling, or similar areas must own a copy." (Libraries Unlimited, Spring 2002)
