1. Mr Carrow has done an excellent job putting together an overview of such a broad subject. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how the latest technologies are interfacing with todays manufacturing.

1. D. Dayton Reuter's Computer Graphics For Architects, Engineers, And Environmental Designers blends a reference with a text on how to apply computer graphics to designs. Find answers to common challenges quickly, using both the CD ROM attached and the applied information on contracts, formats, and design.

1 comments about Simplified Design of Steel Structures (Parker/Ambrose Series of Simplified Design Guides).

1. I am working as a civil engineer in a design office active in constructing light gauge steel structures. I have bought the book to obtain a guide or some kind of a handbook which includes some guidelines or procedures for typical structural steel design applications. But i hava found the book too superficial. I wish the book handled the subjects in a little bit detailed way. And I wish there were flowcharts for designing with steel. The only good thing about the book is the example projects at the end of the book. As a result I do not advise this book to anyone because it is expensive too. Pay half more and buy the Structural Steel Designer's Handbook, which includes all the information in this book and much much more.Do not pay attention to the number of pages written here, since size of the book is nearly the size of a pocket book.

2 comments about Capital Drawings: Architectural Designs for Washington, D.C., from the Library of Congress.

1. I purchased this book based upon its title and cover imagery; I was disappointed in that many if not most of the images and drawings contained in the book are NOT located in Washington, DC, as the title would have you believe. It's ok to illustrate other images by the same architect or draftsman, but the book includes tens of dozens if not hundreds of illustration that are located thousands of miles away from Washington, DC, the city. A better title would have been "architectural drawings at the Library of Congress" and leave out the reference to the actual City of Washington, which is not well represented.



2. Washington DC is one of the few major cities in the world that was designed from the start to be a city. Built on ten square miles of land donated to the nation by Maryland and Virginia, the city was conceptually laid out by L'Enfant. The streets were designed to be wide, straight and long instead of the meandering cow paths of the older cities.
   
   Along with the general plan, the early presidents, Washington and Jefferson especially) recognized the expressive power of the capital's buildings and monuments. The major Government buildings and monuments: the White House, the Capital building, and the Washington monument have become recognized around the world.
   
   This beautiful book consists of drawings from the Library of Congress illustrating these and other buildings in Washington. Some of these are historican and reflect various plans submitted before the final design was chosen. Some are more recent, reflecting the fact that the originals were lost.
   
   This book illustrates the impact that the architecture of Washington has had on American architecture around the country.
