Construction equipment and methods

The text book is an excellent resource for my upcoming professional engineer's exam. I would recommend this text book for potential professional engineers getting ready to take the professional engineer's exam
Decent

This book was alright. Some illustrations, decent descriptions. Some of the problems were too in depth. It would be alright for some just starting out in construction or someone who just wants to learn a little about it.
We speak English & use the Metric System in the rest of the World

We speak English & use the Metric System in the rest of the World. When will American publishers discover this ? This book requires me to convert every single worked example to the units used by the rest of the world. I suggest that they publish the worked examples on a CD with book using the units that he rest of the world use !!!
