Joining of Materials and Structures From Pragmatic Process to Enabling Technology

"If one is seriously interested to any extent in the process of joining in the broadest terms this must be a significant source of information" --International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives"This is one of the most comprehensive texts available for the reference shelf on joining technologies. Very Highly Recommended!" --Adhesives & Sealants Newsletter, September 2006"Where it is proposed to join materials or structures in a new or unconventional way not already proven by use in service, this book will give a guide on methods to be adopted and problems which could arise. The book of some 800 pages with many photographs and illustrations is easily readable and a useful source of information on this most important aspect of modern construction." --W.A. Black in Building Engineer, April 2005
