Roadwork Theory and Practice gives the essential information needed by every road worker, highway technician, or engineer, not only by explaining the theory of road construction and its associated activities, but by illustrating its application with practical working methods that are in use in everyday engineering practice. As such, it successfully bridges the gap so often found between civil engineering theory and the day-to-day work of a highways engineer.

The new edition has been fully revised in line with recent changes to EU standards, legislation, terminology and specifications; and now includes end of chapter review questions and references for further reading .
