Now in full colour, the third edition of this well established book provides a readable and highly illustrated overview of the aspects of geology that are most significant to civil engineers. Sections in the book include those devoted to the main rock types, weathering, ground investigation, rock mass strength, failures of old mines, subsidence on peats and clays, sinkholes on limestone and chalk, water in landslides, slope stabilization and understanding ground conditions. The roles of both natural and man-induced processes are assessed, and this understanding is developed into an appreciation of the geological environments potentially hazardous to civil engineering and construction projects. For each style of difficult ground, available techniques of site investigation and remediation are reviewed and evaluated. Each topic is presented as a double page spread with a careful mix of text and diagrams, with tabulated reference material on parameters such as bearing strength of soils and rocks. This new edition has been comprehensively updated and covers the entire spectrum of topics of interest for both students and practitioners in the field of civil engineering.

A stunning visual tour of the world's most spectacular caves and cave systems.    Caves are found on every continent. The United States is home to the world's longest cave system, the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, and to the world's most popular tourist cave, New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns. Great Caves of the World takes readers to these and 25 other astonishing and challenging caves across the globe.    Each entry includes lavish photographs and authoritative text describing the cave, its inhabitants, its environment, how and when it was discovered, access sites, and travel tips on how to get there.    In addition to Carlsbad and Mammoth, featured caves include:  Sterkfontein Cave in South Africa, the site of four-million-year-old hominid remains  New Zealand's Waitomo Cave, dazzlingly illuminated by             glow-worms  The underground waterfalls of Gruta do Janelão, Brazil  Looming glaciers of ice in Austria's limestone caves  The cool Nullarbar Caves under the Australian desert  Ethiopia's underground maze, the Sof Omar Cave  The Caves of Mulu in Sarawak (Borneo), the world's largest  Castleguard Cave in the Canadian Rockies.    Geologists, expert cavers, spelunkers, climbers, adventure travelers, natural history enthusiasts and general readers will find this book fascinating.
