New to this edition: expanded coverage of residual and tropical soils, environmental aspects of soil behavior, material on partly saturated soils, revised treatment of direct or coupled hydraulic, chemical, thermal and electrical flows through soil.

<p>Emphasizing the need for long-term post-disaster assessment and the creation of information clearing-houses that focus on industrial disaster surprises, contributors discuss the results of long-term case studies of seven highly publicized industrial disasters: the mercury contamination in Minamata, Japan; the underground fires in Centralia, Pennsylvania, USA; the air-borne dioxin release at Seveso, Italy; the poison gas cloud in Bhopal, India; the nuclear reactor fire at Chernobyl, Ukraine; the destruction of Iran's oil facilities during the war with Iraq; and the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.
