Book review: Temporary works: Principles of design and construction (2nd ed.)

This month's letters cover legislation for design checks, embodied carbon of modular construction approaches, and assessment of masonry buildings for earthquake resilience in New Zealand.

This career-spanning book offers insight for anyone venturing into engineering, and how to build on the life lessons you learn along the way, writes Patrick Augustin.

This month's letters concern subsidence, Category 3 checks and New Zealand seismic masonry codes.
