Landscaping: Principles & Practices, 7th Edition, provides students and practitioners with the information needed to be successful in the classroom and the workplace. Focusing on three areas of professional practice; design, contracting, and management, the reader is provided the basic knowledge integral to the industry in straightforward, easy-to-read chapters. It also addresses traditional topics such as design, plant installation, and pricing, as well as topics not found in most other texts, such as interior landscaping, xeriscaping, water gardens, and safety. Extensive color illustrations and photos aid in visually understanding the concepts and industry specific insight allows the reader to tune into topics traditionally overlooked in other texts.

Handy sidebars throughout the book cover fundamentals and background information
End-of-chapter exercises help readers master new skills and techniques
A robust companion website includes helpful videos, sample files, and plug-ins

"Building with Steel is a practical guide to structural steelwork. Using case studies, customary typical details are illustrated and analysed by way of large-scale drawings. The principles behind the design of load-bearing structures show which types of structure are advisable in which situations and constitute a useful aid for design and planning work. To complement this, the book includes an overview of steelwork connections plus suitable means of connection illustrated by way of typical, modern forms of construction." "Everyday loadbearing structures are explained by examples of residential and office buildings as well as single-storey sheds. Questions regarding fire protection and building performance, especially relevant for structural steelwork, are investigated, and steel as a facade cladding material is another theme addressed in detail." --Book Jacket.

No one can stop you to enter any site (maybe your leaders in some parts of our not always free world) and you can press Thanks when a stupid advertizer post in every section free for not activated users and advertize his site. Today was the third time and if someone from Sri Lanka think we cannot complain and report abuse he will find quickly his IP banned not only in our forum.
All the advertizers and all spammers are quickly banned in our forum and if our users post a new reply of "really nice website" as someone do today he will be warned without any connection with the advertizer's post because this is spam. No one asks aradadi his opinion about this site and posting opinions only is always warned (ardadi warned by me and banned by Admin).
The bellow text was composed by LiviuM and i hope will clarify our opinon about sites like this one. I know many engineering forums (some ot them good too), i prefere our organised and clean forum and i know we all use material from other forums but if someone steal from here at least to not advertize his forum based on our material.
If you'll visit ******* or other forums/website like it you'll find there material taken from CivilEA, badly organized and not maintained. And more important you'll find less and not updated material like software or books.
These bad clones of CivilEA exist only because of CivilEA.
The bad people who are creating these clone websites copy material from CivilEA for only one purpose, to make money by advertising.
Moreover by writing link to their website here they just prove how little value has their website compared to CivilEA.
