This book may be a tad bit outdated, but the contents still applies. This book is geared toward a small group of people, though maybe larger than I think. I've not read near 1/4 of the book, but I can tell that this book is for those that are interested in learning as much about Water-based Fire Protection, and the design of such systems. I am a Fire Protection design technician of N.I.C.E.T. Level 1 trying to move on to Level II and eventually III or IV. Since this is not a trade that is taught in many schools, so it's on the job training, and occasionally any other training available, I frequently take online courses as well as webinars that pertain to this trade. So recently in a magazine FPC- A fire protection Contractor magazine, that listed multiple books that might be helpful all around, this was one of the books. This book cover's a wide array of topics, from NICET required learning, to special hazard's protection systems. Water-Spray Systems, Deluge Systems, and Mist Systems on down covering much of the Fire Protection Handbook, but more for the designer. I would definitely recommend this book to any one in the Fire Protection Industry, especially those that are designer's of water-based systems, be it fresh/new designers to seasoned veteran's. This book is great.

In my opinion, after more than thirty years in the fire sprinkler business, "Design of Water-Based Protection Systems," is by far the best introductory level text into the water-based systems world of fire protection. I personally used the text in the training environment for several years.

The book is well written, concise and well received by students. I would highly recommend this text for anyone contemplating setting up a training situation in the industry.

The book does provide good insite into fire protection systems. It is written for commercial applications, not industrial. In general a very good bood to begin design.

The book represents a powerful opportunity to understand those basic concepts that characterize water based fire suppression systems. Chapters are very well written and plenty of examples which represents an helpful tool to gain a deeper understanding.

For those whose have deep knowledge in the subject area already, I do advice to get the book anyway. It is essential for a good personal collection.
