Review

'This splendid manual belongs in every university library patronized by geoscientists and engineers.' Environmental & Engineering Geoscience -------------------- 'The three volumes that made up the first edition have since become the standard reference for laboratory managers and technicians alike, containing as it did valuable explanations of all the tests described in BS 1377:1975. ...geotechnical engineers would do well to be aware of the publication since it provides valuable, easy-to-understand descriptions of tests that they will be specifying to obtain design parameters. ... The resulting revision .. has been worth the wait. It is well written, clear and concise and contains numerous figures and photographs to help the reader understand exactly which piece of testing equipment is being discussed. ...experienced technicians will gain both insight and value from the explanations of theory and methodology... ...the authors have succeeded in making what can seem a daunting subject readily accessible and easy to understand. ...the updated version should continue to act as the definitive reference for years to come'.
