In the second part of the book, the chemical, the mineralogical composition and the microfabrics of concretes and related materials are discussed. An extensive glossary of optical and other properties of minerals found in concretes completes this practical handbook.. An illustrated guide to the features that can be observed and identified using a petrological microscope is given. Extensive use has been made of illustrative examples in colour which together with appropriate discussion will assist the engineer as well as both the trainee and experienced petrographer in understanding the nature of the evidence which is basic to petrographic analysis. There is an extensive review of the defects, deterioration and failures which can occur in concrete together with the observations and petrographic evidence relating to them

It is here that Bang mentions that in her original conception of this book she had some many notes that they, "started turning into an encyclopedia". What a twist.. I would give this book a "B" grade.I would like to point out that any good erotic art book is NEVER meant for children..

Since I use this in the shop I purchased a nice clear plastic book cover from B&N to protect from dirt and oil.. For those who have read Kevin Phillips' American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21stCentury, many of the themes in the current work will sound familiar. It took me two years to find a copy of Barron Storey's Marat/Sade Journalsand it was well worth the wait. O which is about Nick, Wyatt's twin brother finding love with Harper. But while the cat is away the mouse will definitely play.Angelica finds the perfect playmate in Aure
