A book on concrete that looks at a problem or an issue, and discusses the underlying scientific and technological aspects, including broader contextual topics. It explains how closely we can determine the water - cement ratio of hardened concrete and considers whether we can verify the age of cracks by measuring carbonation.

The author believes that this book is rather different from other books on concrete, including his 'Properties of Concrete, Fourth Edition'. Instead of proceeding from science to practice, almost every section in this book first looks at a problem or an issue and then discusses the underlying scientific and technological aspects. This is like looking at concrete through the wrong end of the telescope. He hopes this will contribute to a better understanding of concrete practice and to better concrete in practice.
