Reviews
...this book should be seen as a source of reference information and a reminder of what can be done - the difficult bits can be tackled when needed. Each chapter ends with a collection of problems for the reader to solve. Many of these ask for the derivation of equations that have been merely stated in the preceding text. The book ends with a collection of potted biographies of some 82 scientists and engineers who have in some way contributed to the analysis or modelling of geomaterials. Some are still living - others come from across the past 400 years. The author suggests that it is inspiring to learn a little of the human and social context within which developments in applied mechanics have taken place. - Canadian Geotechnical Journal, August 2013 This book is strongly recommended for its wide-ranging discussion on all aspects of geotechnical engineering education. - David Muir Wood, University of Dundee, in: Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2013, 50(8): 906, 10.1139/cgj-2013-0222
