Rezensionen

`Miller's insight into some of the newer infrastructure experiences will be of broad interest to many in the construction industry. The content of the endnotes and the appendices are so comprehensive that one is hard-pressed to imagine any other resource that contains this type of information in an organized, convenient formatPart of what makes Miller's case so persuasive is the presentation of the material. The book's organizational style is as unique as its content.'
