Book Synopsis American Civil Engineering History by : Bernard G. Dennis
Book excerpt: Marking the 150th anniversary of the American Society of Civil Engineers, 22 papers from the November meeting are presented. Major topics treated by engineers and other scholars include the birth and early development of American civil engineering, historic development of U.S. transportation systems, history of building materials and methods, historic water supply systems, preservation case studies, and international perspectives. The primary focus is on the development of theory and technology, as opposed to examinations of institutional structures or similar matters. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
