In recent years building failures and the resulting lawsuits and awards for damages have frequently been in the news. The biggest headlines may have been reserved for structural failures and complete collapses; but we should not forget the less newsworthy failures such as leaky roofs; damp walls; dropped foundations and rotted timber. This book gives practical guidance on the prevention of failure by describing the nature and cause of the most common defects in buildings; and then shows how they should be avoided in design and construction.

I have had it for awhile; read parts of it; loved it. I need 2 weeks I feel; at a beach to read the whole thing. I will; one day! I adore Slash and his brutal honesty. If I could have one last lunch with one person ever; it would be Slash. Oh; what he has seen; been through! Iconic boots; jeans; guitar; cigarette and hat! I will treasure this book; forever.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Metal MemoirBy Kindle CustomerI do not like Guns and Roses but for some reason do find Slash interesting. This book is 30% about doing drugs mainly heroin. 10% chicks 10% childhood 50% heavy metal music. It definitely has "the dirt" on Axle if that is what you are looking for.It is a miracle he is alive.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Must read for any GnR fan!By G. KhannaThis is a must-read for any GnR fan. A brutally honest in-depth look at the formation of the band; its rise to prominence; and subsequent disintegration. All the while; Slash is brutally frank and detailed about his demons; especially the copious drug use. He sets the record straight about why he left GnR and his relationship with Axl. It was hard to put this book down -- a great read and well written as well.
