Bøker av Hugh Ferguson

Hugh Ferguson and Mike Chrimes' fascinating series is now available as a three-volume set. The Civil Engineers, The Contractors and The Consulting Engineers follows the story of the engineering profession, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the people and companies who made the industry what it is today.

The Consulting Engineers is an ideal purchase for any engineer interested in the history of their industry. It will appeal to professional engineers, academics, students of engineering, historians and the wider public who are interested in the social and industrial history of Great Britain, and its influence throughout the world.

The Contractors charts the development of contracting from the early days of direct labour, through the canal building of the18th century when contractors began to emerge as a major force in construction, railway development, motorway construction, privatisation and two world wars, to the international companies of today.

A fascinating and informative read for all those interested in the history of ICE and how it has grown as well as the civil engineering industry and its impact on the world in which we live
