Summary: Design of Concrete Structures by Nilson and Darwin
Review: The USA is 5% of the world population. That market statistical condition should dictate that the metric system is to dominate and move (drag) the USA into the metric system. Yet, the dinosaur lives on.

Summary: Useful and comprehensive book for practitioners
Review: This book is very good for practitioners who need to look up something they have forgotten. It can be useful for beginning students, but as far as understanding concepts is concerned, MacGregor's is the best. For a beginner, Nilson's book sometimes gets too cluttered. MacGregor's book covers almost everything in Nilson's book, but with greater emphasis on conceptual understanding.
