Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
‘Built From Nothing’ describes the building industry’s development from the first settlers to present days in Australia.
Dr. Gimsey’s book is a pioneering work; it is the first time a book about the history of the building industry is written. It describes state-by-state, from the first settlers, early builders’ activitis to recently constructed major projects, the booms and busts, brief histories of AIB, MBA, HIA, and Unions, workers and education in the industry, histories of some major building companies and concludes with looking into the possible future for the industry.
The author researched in depth his topic. His book not only makes facniating reading for the general public but is also intended for use as a text book for students studying to become professional builders, archetects, engineers, or building tecnhitions, and for people working in the industry. – from back cover
