Industry Reviews An introduction to management in the construction industry, which has become the standard textbook through the first five editions, 1964-86. In addition to updating the example data and bibliographies, the present edition drops the chapter on digital computing on the basis that the field has accelerated to a blur that can no longer be captured in a text meant to be current for several years. Closely geared to examinations of the British Chartered Institute of Building, and uses metric and Sterling measurements. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Harris
