Buying my textbook was simple! Before I buy other textbooks, I will definitely check to see if they have them.

This is a great book. It came recommended to me by my engineer supervisor. I am a geologist who needs to learn more about geotech and the engineering side of the industry.

The book is full of errors, examples, tables and so on, which the author nor the publishers seems to have fixed from the previous issues.
