The breadth of technical data, design details and worked examples in this practical guide to structural insulated panels will fill a gap in an engineer's technical library, believes James Norman.

The industry must pull together and urgently develop new vibration serviceability guidance if we are to realise a future of lighter-weight, lower-carbon structures, argues Gillian Browning, Head of Structural Dynamics at Buro Happold.

James Norman is excited about the future of structural design, believing that engineers will be freed up to explore new materials and pursue regenerative strategies by increased automation. As his latest book is published, he talks engineering, education and ethics with Helena Russell.
