Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl soundtrack record album, Colgems COSO -5005, very-good vinyl LP in a very-good cardboard jacket. Yes, after Cubby Broccoli and Co. had produced four successful James Bond films with Sean Connery -- and introducing the magnificent Ursula Andress -- Charles Feldman managed to convince Colgems (you know -- The Monkees) that he had to run through five directors (including John Huston, Ken Hughes, and Val Guest) to complete this bizarre and overwrought James Bond "parody," starring Woody Allen as James Bond, David Niven as James Bond, Terence Cooper as James Bond, with an additional cast including Peter Sellers, Joanna Pettet, Ursula Andress, Daliah Lavi, Orson Welles, Deborah Kerr, William Holden, Charles Boyer, Jean Paul Belmondo . . . anyway, the soundtrack is of excellent quality, believe it or not. The film made money despite terrible reviews (Time Magazine calling it "an incoherent and vulgar vaudeville.") But this "original soundtrack" album, oddly enough, was regarded by some critics as the finest-sounding LP of all time, famous among audio purists for the excellence of its recording, becoming a standard "audiophile test" record, especially the vocal performance by Dusty Springfield on "The Look of Love." (Though note this copy is NOT "near mint," exhibiting some light scratches which cannot be felt. Also beware of post-1990 re-releases, as the highly regarded master tapes were reportedly damaged during a 1990s remastering.) Produced by Phil Ramone. Reduced from $17.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This practical handbook of properties for soils and rock contains in a concise tabular format the key issues relevant to geotechnical investigations, assessments and designs in common practice. There are brief notes on the application of the tables. These data tables are compiled for experienced geotechnical professionals who require a reference document to access key information. There is an extensive database of correlations for different applications. The book should provide a useful bridge between soil and rock mechanics theory and its application to practical engineering solutions.The initial chapters deal with the planning of the geotechnical investigation and the classification of the soil and rock properties, after which some of the more used testing is covered. Later chapters show the reliability and correlations that are used to convert that data in the interpretative and assessment phase of the project. The final chapters apply some of these concepts to geotechnical design. The emphasis throughout is on application to practice.This book is intended primarily for practicing geotechnical engineers working in investigation, assessment and design, but should provide a useful supplement for postgraduate courses. It evolved from the need to have a "go to" reference book which has both breadth and depth of information to apply immediately to projects. To keep to a handbook size one has to compress/restrict details to a few key bullet points but a comprehensive reference list provides the "appendix" for additional information if required. This 2nd edition keeps to that format but contains updated information and adjustments that take into account feedback received since initial publication. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
