Rezensionen

"When starting t read law as an undergraduate, the first law book I
bought was Wharton's Law Lexicon, a book I still have and
use. On appointment as an Official Referee, I bought the Penguin
dictionaries of Building, Civil Engineering Architecture and
Electronics. If I had known that this book was then in
existence in its first edition, I would have bought that also. It
would have been an enormous help to me"

Judge Peter Bowsher QC

"Presented in a non-legal and highly-readable style, this
book is a desirable addition to the specialist library and the
professional office and as a useful reference book is directed to
architects, surveyors and construction professionals in general
together with contractors and their staff."
