How do I buy and download an eBook?

Where there is an eBook version of a title available, you can buy it from the book details for that title. Add either the standalone eBook or the eBook and print book bundle to your shopping cart. Your eBook will show in your cart as a product on its own. After completing checkout and payment in the normal way, you will receive your receipt on the screen containing a link to a personalised PDF download file. This link will remain active for 30 days. You can download backup copies of the file by logging in to your account at any time.

Each section breakdown is easy to follow. My favorite feature is the "Technical Requirements" for each section. They help you locate the tools you will use in the section and give a simple breakdown of their purpose. This book is an excellent resource for any designer or design team to improve their skills and have a reference tool at their disposal.

I really like how this book is laid out. The structure of topics being introduced and blended with the exercises is great for training flow and working through the various tasks. One good thing about this structure is that you don't have to go back through the book to lookup content if you are in the middle of a training exercise since the content and exercises are blended together. I was initially looking for "exercises" in the table of contents and not having those called out threw me off a bit, but after working through a couple of chapters, I really like the way it flows. The whole chapter is an exercise!This book also addresses various "tool belts" for different types of use, like Land Development, Roadway Modeling, Advanced Roadway Modeling ,and Utility Modeling. I think that this is useful in both a professional training environment as well as an individual doing self-paced training.I also like that the more advanced concepts are called out as such and placed at the end of the book.
