This well-loved copy of “Construction and Professional Management an Introduction” by Harry Rubey offers a glimpse into the world of civil engineering and construction management in the late 20th century. Published in the 1970s, this book was likely a staple in many engineering programs, providing students with a comprehensive introduction to the field. Despite its age and library origins, the book’s secure binding and unmarked interior pages suggest it can still serve as a valuable reference for those interested in the history and evolution of construction practices.
Rubey’s expertise as a civil engineer and educator shines through in this work, which covers topics ranging from project planning and scheduling to cost estimation and construction law. While some of the specific techniques and technologies may have evolved, the book’s core principles and insights into the management of complex construction projects remain relevant today. For collectors and readers alike, this copy represents an opportunity to explore the foundations of a discipline that has shaped the built environment around us.
