The Wiley Dictionary of Civil Engineering and Construction (Wiley Professional)

The lingo of civil engineering and construction is a language unto itself, and L.F. Webster does a fine job of translating it for the lay person and defining the terms accurately for those who need to know them: professionals working in surveying, construction, forestry, mining, and public works. The 666 pages and more than 30,000 definitions of terms, concepts, names, abbreviations, tools, and techniques makes Wiley an indispensable reference for contractors, civil engineers, architects, consultants, and students.
