This book is awesome. I bought it for a class and ended up reading it on my own time. It is basically "How It's Made" in book form with lots of pictures and simple descriptions. I have learned so much reading it, and even my boyfriend has asked if he can borrow it to read.

This is a resume of the most common materials that designers need. It's is not a extensive list of information.You can make you search by items classification like availability, durability, Recyclability, Biodegradability as well as energy Inpacts, resources, pollution and wast. Is illustrated with some inspired images.

Everything ok, excellent quality, arrive on time and a good price!
