Share a Million Stories
Last year's World Book Day celebrations were focused on sharing stories, so we invited you to share your stories with us. You told us how our books changed your life; how they helped your careers move into the fast lane, improved your technical knowledge, and more. This year's theme of 'changing lives through a love of books and shared reading' builds on last year's success.
Three books changing lives
We aim for our titles to deliver real-world impact, whether it is helping to build more sustainable cities, making use of digital tools to ensure a smooth construction progress, or improving the flow of construction projects.

Environmental impact assessment is an important aspect of many planning applications. It involves an assessment of the potential environmental impacts of a project.
