Reviews / Votes
"A core text for students, as it does give a valuable and concise insight ... .Technical and informative material." (Journal of Building Appraisal, Spring 2008) "There are some excellent things in these volumes ... Geoff Wallis and Mike Bussell give a very good short summary of the technological developments of iron and steel, which I have not seen bettered elsewhere." (Context, September 2008)More details
