About this book

This New Prairie Press resource was published in 2021, with a 2024 update noted by the Open Textbook Library. Verified catalogue headings progress through perception, health and safety, sustainability, material families, and specification. The subject is the connection between design intentions and the practical selection of materials and finishes. The complete source text was not accessible during this update. This page consequently offers a bibliographic orientation and independent study instructions; it does not attribute detailed material-selection procedures to chapters that were not read.

Sources and reading coverage

The Open Textbook Library publication record, description, and contents were checked. Full source text was unavailable, so no detailed chapter summary is claimed.

See the official publication record for edition details. The external PDF provides the available source text.

Consult the catalogue record reviewed for this overview alongside the official access link.

How to study this book

After obtaining the text from the publisher, choose a material discussed in your course. Keep separate notes on appearance, performance, use conditions, maintenance, and the source of each claim. Identify what evidence would be needed before specifying it for an actual setting.

Compare alternatives against the same stated criteria rather than relying on appearance alone. Use contemporary manufacturer documentation and applicable standards for real project decisions, while treating the textbook as a learning resource. Read the complete relevant chapter before preparing a technical comparison.

Questions for reflection

Which selection criteria follow from the intended use?
What evidence supports a performance claim?
How might maintenance affect a design choice?

The study suggestions and questions are independent Academic Master editorial material.
