      The Boston Structures Group, an informal association of teachers, engineers, and architects, advocates the teaching of structures as a design discipline. The core team that created this book consists of five members, four of whom have or have had some affiliation with MIT (the fifth practices privately in Boston). They are joined by another nine contributors to present detailed information in the context of engaging projects for students regarding statics, bending and buckling behavior, long-span structures, beam and column formulas, and the choice and layout of framing systems. The emphasis is on graphics rather than mathematics. "Master Lessons" include designing with the flow of forces, precast concrete and sitecast concrete, an entrance canopy, and a concrete shell roof for a grandstand, among others. Illustrated with line drawings and schematics. The format is horizontal ("). Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
