  —ARBA
• ...intriguing....A great deal of cross referencing has been done by Berlow to provide access to the appropriate full entry....This book would be useful for public libraries, school media centers, and lower level undergraduate libraries as a means of determining some factual information concerning the precise name, location, or dimensions of a structure.
  —E-Streams
• ...handy useful volume....The book fills an inportant gap by bringing together in one spot important and useful data on diverse engineering projects not found in another source. The book is also valuable for someone doing historical research. I recommend it for reference sections in undergraduate college, university, and public libraries.
