THIS BOOK CONTAINS EXCELLENT INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO TAKE PRIDE IN DOING IT YOURSELF AND FOR THOSE WHO NEED SOLUTIONS FOR PROBLEM DECORATING AREAS BUT DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS FOR THOSE FLOORS, WALLS, ETC., WHICH THEY MIGHT CHOOSE.

Excellent book with very good illistrations,pictures,and tips for doing it yourself. I've refered the info in this book over and over, I find the layout very user friendly.

This third edition of Design and Performance of Road Pavements intends to serve as a comprehensive reference guide on all aspects of pavement design. Its six parts consist of a general introduction, basic pavement design data, specification and properties of pavement materials, pavement performance studies, pavement design procedures, and surface characteristics of pavements. Some useful features are current standards and specifications from AASHTO, ASTM, and PSA; life cycle forecasting for both flexible and concrete pavements, and comparisons of U.S. and European standards and specifications. Discussions on the latest developments in pavement design and materials are included. Even though bibliographic references are provided for each chapter, the three and a half page indexing at the end of the book is not well done. Not only the technical jargons such as thermal warping stress, rut depth, and subgrade strength are nowhere to be found, the frequently quoted ASTM and PSA are also not available. As a result this book is hardly a user-friendly reference guide. Despite the incomplete indexing, Design and Performance of Road Pavements is recommended for purchase.

If you're looking for information related to foundation and wall crack patterns, wall bowing or other distress patterns this is the book for you. I own a home inspection business and was looking for additional informatiion about these problems. I'm lucky to have found this book.!

This book goes to the areas which most other home repair manuals tend to avoid like sump pumps problems and radon remediations. Illustrations are only black-white and not step-by-step. But is a good value.

I can keep this short and sweet. This has to be such a good book, that my mom has been searching for a new copy of it for the last ten years! Hers is falling apart and I have been trying to keep this book together for her in so many ways, you can't imagine! And the search continues!!!!!...and I WILL find it for her!

This is an essential guide for anyone who relies on one of these cars to "get there" and who doesn't have the trunk stuffed full of money to afford professional mechanics. The manual has an abundance of great step-by-step photos that enable you to get all the pieces back in the car in the order they came out! I have successfully used the book as a guide to change the brake shoes and pads, rebuild the cooling system, remove/replace the alternator, adjust the carburetor and much more. And all without so much as a highschool shop background. I conservatively estimate the book has saved me several hundred dollars that would have otherwise gone to the local mechanic. Even if you don't do the wrench turning yourself this manual will give you a good idea of what may be wrong with the car before you take it in.

THE CHRYSLER LASER IS THE BEST CAR EVER!!

Don't forget this book,

I have been an active hiker for 28 yrs and have to say this book has been a great tool to help me keep my gaer in great working order.
Gear can last a lifetime and I enjoy maintaining what I have instead of forking over dough for new gear. Kristin's book enables you to quickly and easily repair fix and maintain your gear so it lasts a lifetime. There is nothing worse than mid way through an outdoor experience having an equipment malfunction, leaky tent etc. What a bummer that can be.

I have been looking for a book like this for quite a while and did not expect that it be be so cheap and concise without compromise. Kristin was a gear editor for BackPacker magazine for a number of years, I hope some more useful books like this are in cue.

See you on the summit if the weather's O.K.
