Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: David Pelham (illustrator). 1964 Edition. © 1944: A stand-alone novel by Olaf Stapledon. 2nd printing of 1964 edition:- Synopsis: 'Sirius' is a tale of immense and tragic pathos in which Olaf Stapledon evokes the terrible loneliness of a dog born with the mind of a man. Thomas Trelone's life-work was to explore the possibilities of producing a superman by experimenting with hormone injections into various mammals. Sirius himself is infinitely the most successful of these trials. He is the only viable puppy born with the brain capacity of a human being, but he still has the sense, the instincts, and the physique of a dog. Born at the same time as Plaxy, Thomas's youngest daughter, the child and puppy are brought up together, share the same lessons, and develop an intense understanding of one another's humanness and dogness. It is the inevitable conflict between Sirius's intellect and instincts and its effects upon the girl, Plaxy, which has produced one of the most moving of the 'Wonder Stories' we call Science Fiction:- (original cost 5').

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Geotechnical Engineering of Dams, 2nd edition provides a comprehensive text on the geotechnical and geological aspects of the investigations for and the design and construction of new dams and the review and assessment of existing dams. The main emphasis of this work is on embankment dams, but much of the text, particularly those parts related to geology, can be used for concrete gravity and arch dams.All phases of investigation, design and construction are covered. Detailed descriptions are given from the initial site assessment and site investigation program through to the preliminary and detailed design phases and, ultimately, the construction phase. The assessment of existing dams, including the analysis of risks posed by those dams, is also discussed. This wholly revised and significantly expanded 2nd edition includes a lengthy new appendix on the assessment of the likelihood of failure of dams by internal erosion and piping.This valuable source on dam engineering incorporates the 200+ years of collective experience of the authors in the subject area. Design methods are presented in combination with their theoretical basis, to enable the reader to develop a proper understanding of the possibilities and limitations of a method. For its practical, well-founded approach, this work can serve as a useful guide for professional dam engineers and engineering geologists and as a textbook for university students. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
