AB  - Discusses the considerations to be made when specifying timber for
building purposes, particularly BS classification and hardwood/softwood
use. Considers the main factors in detail: strength, quality, sizes,
moisture content, durability and preservation, fire resistance, and
species. Concludes that, contrary to popular belief, timber is
ecologically benign, and its use should be encouraged.
