Dive summary:
- A new book, "Those Amazing Builders" is aimed at middle- and high-school students thinking about what's possible for them in the construction industry, and the publisher uses a plan that lets companies donate volumes to schools.
- Trilogy Publications says "Builders" includes information on who is on a building team and who does what, what goes into infrastructure and buildings and what past structures and future concepts are cool, and why.
- The book is highly visual and offers small bites of information in a broad overview for a generation that is unlikely to sit down with a volume of text.
