Offers an eye-opening and revealing look into an interpersonal/scientific conflict involving the Father of Modern Soil Mechanics Karl von Terzaghi.
Exemplifies the human side of science in which, sometimes, the prominence of a theorist and the inertia of the accepted wisdom can inhibit progress and rational discussion of the facts.
More than 100 illustrations combine with historical details in the text to evoke a vivid picture of the lost era of pre-WWII Vienna.

Over the last decade and particularly in recent years, the macroscopic porous media theory has made decisive progress concerning the fundamentals of the theory and the development of mathematical models in various fields of engineering and biomechanics. This progress has attracted some attention, and therefore conferences devoted almost exclusively to the macrosopic porous media theory have been organized in order to collect all findings, to present new results, and to discuss new trends. Many important contributions have also been published in national and international journals, which...
