Based on actual teaching practice, the book is highly illustrated throughout to increase accessibility of the
text for the reader in its exploration of the practical aspects of brickwork. It also includes an extensive glossary of brickwork terms
for ease of reference. The third edition contains new material detailing recent innovations in brickwork, in the areas of components,
