Why Buildings Fall Down Summary

Why Buildings Fall Down: Why Structures Fail by Matthys Levy

The stories that make up Why Buildings Fall Down are in the end very human ones, tales of the interaction of people and nature, of architects, engineers, builders, materials, and natural forces all coming together in sometimes dramatic (and always instructive) ways.
