<p>This book "Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering" in response to the need for an up-to-date practical handbook which I believe is highly useful in providing help for engineers, architects, contractors, colleges, universities, and regulatory agencies. The direct and complete presentation of materials in this handbook is especially useful in the design and installation of modern fire protection systems. Also, there is a chapter on explosion prevention which is highly useful in woodworking shops, munition making factories, etc.</p><p>Each chapter in this book focuses on the major area of concern for fire protection professionals. The chapters are organized and presented in the order that is compatible with the engineering textbook.</p>
