Opis

Through the detailed reflections of a seasoned consultant and academic, this thought-provoking practitioner guide to landslides and slope problems and their investigation, analysis, and remediation considers both natural and man-made slopes and earthworks, in an informal style without the need for the usual equations and illustrations.
