520			_aThe professions of architecture and interior design often demand of their practitioners a significant amount of knowledge in specialized fields beyond the normal realm of practice. Obtaining this knowledge for the infrequent projects that require it can mean timeconsuming research and the tracking-down and acquisition of an extensive library of reference books and manufacturers' catalogues. This handbook obviates all that. It gathers together in one convenient volume the essentials of twelve specialty areas of concern to architects and designers. Presented in twelve chapters, this material gives the reader a sound general understanding of each subject specialty as well as offering a wealth of specific working data.
