It is nowten yearssince the thirdeditionofMetallicMaterials, andovertwentysincethefirst edition. Overthis periodtheworkhasbeenextensivelyused as acomprehensivesourcebook by all those concerned with the use of engineering materials. Since the third edition, there have been a number of basic changes in the methods of specifyingmaterials. Probablythe mostimportantofwhich is the introductionofthe Unified Numbering System (UNS). These codes are issued in agreement between the Society of AutomotiveEngineers (SAE) and the American SocietyforTestingandMaterials(ASTM), and reflect the acknowledgement of a need for a numbering system with some logic. The UNS codes have been issued to cover all the trade names, codes and specifications used in the US, and cognizance has been takenofcodes used inother areas. The codes have a letter prefix - A for aluminium, C for copper, etc. - followed by a 5 figure code. This refers to a basic analysis and lists US specifications and trade names covered by this analysis. This edition of Metallic Materials lists approximately 4,000 UNS codes and refers the reader either to the basic analysis for this code, or to one of the existing specifications or trade names covered by the code. In this edition steps have been taken to update the trade names and specifications, to eliminate mistakes, and to supply asmuchcontemporaryinformation as possible. Theextent ofthe additions has made it necessary to examine the way that someofthe specifications are known under various designations, and the implicationsofthis examination are explained in the 'How to use this book' section.

The aim of this book is to set out design theory and illustrate the practical applications by the inclusion of many examples. The book is written primarily for students on Civil Engineering degree courses to assist them in understanding the principles of element design and the procedures for the design of concrete buildings. Analysis and design of very tall buildings has been included in order to give students an appreciation of the way in which these buildings are modelled for computer analyses and the design problems involved. The importance of computers in structural design is recognised and computer programs for design of concrete elements are included.

Property Development is a practical book, which gives the reader a complete overview of the development process. It is intended as an introductory text for students and others coming to the property development process for the first time, and case studies are included to provide real illustrations of particular aspects of this process. Much has changed since the publication of the fourth edition, and sections on sustainability and urban regeneration have been added to this fully revised and up-dated text. Emphasis is also given to the effects of globalisation and the EU to the UK property development process. A website accompanies the book, with support material such as appraisal spreadsheets.
