Rating: - A lot of information layed out very well
I purchased this book because I took a course in Fire Safety in college and I really did learn a lot about how that industry works and what factors are taken into account when dealing with fire. There is a lot of information in this book and a lot of illustrations and photos to go along with it to help you grasp the concept. Some chapters are more engaging than others but I feel that it has more to do with the content than the way it was written.
