Book review: Fire design of steel structures (2nd ed.)

This month's letters reflect on the EU referendum and lament the insatiable desire for change; look at how engineers are portrayed in France; and question whether engineering is still a rewarding profession today.

This informative book is a worthwhile read for engineers new to Building Information Modelling, its use and protocols, concludes Paul Perry, but less so for those with experience of complex, BIM-orientated projects.

Michael Bussell enjoys this authoritative and generously illustrated account of the world's first iron-framed building and hopes that it will help secure the future of this historic structure.
