Architects and builders have often debated the environmental impact of above-grade block and poured concrete. The new online World of Concrete bookstore (www.wocbookstore.com) makes available a complete set of new books that address that issue, along with compact discs for use in calculating the life-cycle of using concrete products in new construction. Books cover everything from achieving the right thermal mass with concrete to disposal and recycling of demolished concrete structures.

Standard Pacific released first-quarter earnings post market close last night that beat Wall Street analysts' posted predictions.
