What format to choose
If you only expect to read your ebook on a computer (not on a phone or special ebook device), then you should choose a PDF-based ebook. This is because PDFs display the pages of a book exactly as they were designed by the book publisher. In other words, a PDF will usually maintain the design integrity of the original printed book. With other formats, pages can look different – sometimes radically different – when displayed.
PDFs sometimes display awkwardly on small screens, while some ebook formats are designed especially for reading on smaller screens. If you have a smart phone, PDA or special ebook reader device, then you should choose a format suitable for that device.
eBooks.com has tens of thousands of eBooks for you to choose from, fiction as well as well as non fiction, whatever book you are searching for, you probably will find it at eBooks.com

A Guide to Modular Design and Construction
By Ryan E. Smith
John Wiley & Sons; June 2011
The definitive reference on prefab architecture for architects and construction professionals
Written for architects and related design and construction professionals, Prefab Architecture is a guide to off-site construction, presenting the opportunities and challenges associated with designing and building with components, panels, and modules.
It presents the drawbacks of building in situ (on-site) and demonstrates why prefabrication is the smarter choice for better integration of products and processes, more efficient delivery, and realizing more value in project life cycles.
In Prefab Architecture, the fresh approaches toward creating buildings that accurately convey mature and expanded green building methodologies make this book an important voice for adopting change in a construction industry entrenched in traditions of the past.

Prefab Architecture
A Guide to Modular Design and Construction
"Prefab Architecture . . . is beyond theory, and beyond most of what we think we know about pods, containers, mods, and joints. This book is more than 'Prefabrication 101.' It is the Joy of Cooking writ large for the architecture and construction industries."
From the Foreword by James Timberlake
Prefab Architecture provides:
- A selected history of prefabrication from the Industrial Revolution to current computer numerical control, and a theory of production from integrated processes to lean manufacturing
- Coverage on the tradeoffs of off-site fabrication including scope, schedule, and cost with the associated principles of labor, risk, and quality.
- Up-to-date products featuring examples. of prefabricated structure, enclosure, service, and interior building systems.
- Documentation on the constraints and execution of manufacturing, factory production, transportation, and assembly.
- Dozens of recent examples of prefab projects by contemporary architects and fabricators including KieranTimberlake, SHoP Architects, Office dA, Michelle Kaufmann, and many others.
