520    "The authors believe this free of charge book, 
       Fundamentals of Infrastructure Management, will expand the
       impact of the material and help improve the practice of 
       infrastructure management. By 'free of charge, ' we mean 
       that the material can be freely obtained, but readers 
       should devote time and effort to mastering the material. 
       We have provided problem assignments for various chapters,
       and we strongly urge readers to undertake the problems as 
       a learning experience. This book grew out of a decade of 
       co-teaching a course entitled 'Infrastructure Management' 
       at Carnegie Mellon University. Our teaching philosophy was
       to prepare students for work in the field of 
       infrastructure management. We believe that infrastructure 
       management is a professional endeavor and an attractive 
       professional career. The book is co-authored by two 
       accomplished engineers - each representing professional 
       practice, academic research and theoretical evaluation. 
       Their collective strengths are presented throughout the 
       text and serve to support both the practice of 
       infrastructure management and a role for infrastructure 
       management inquiry and search. Importantly, both co-
       authors have academic research interests (and a number of 
       research publications) on various topics of infrastructure
       management. That said, the primary audience for this book 
       is expected to be professionals intending to practice 
       infrastructure management, and only secondarily 
       individuals who intend to pursue a career of research in 
       the area. The text draws examples and discusses a wide 
       variety of infrastructure systems, including roadways, 
       telecommunications, power generation, buildings and 
       systems of infrastructure. We have found that some common 
       fundamentals of asset management, analysis tools and 
       informed decision-making are useful for a variety of such 
       systems. Certainly, many infrastructure managers encounter
       a variety of infrastructure types during their 
       professional careers. Moreover, due to the functional 
       inter-dependencies of different infrastructure systems, it
       is certainly advantageous for managers of one 
       infrastructure type to understand other types of 
       infrastructure. For example, roadway managers rely upon 
       the power grid for traffic signal operation."--Open
