The author believes that this book is rather different from other books on concrete, including his 'Properties of Concrete, Fourth Edition'. Instead of proceeding from science to practice, almost every section in this book first looks at a problem or an issue and then discusses the underlying scientific and technological aspects. This is like looking at concrete through the wrong end of the telescope. He hopes this will contribute to a better understanding of concrete practice and to better concrete in practice.
