An updated and expanded edition based upon the acclaimed 'Basic Environmental and Engineering Geology', by the late Professor Fred Bell.
This book is an updated and expanded edition based upon the acclaimed 'Basic Environmental and Engineering Geology', by the late Professor Fred Bell.
It is underpinned by two fundamental premises: that environmental and engineering geology represents a single coherent discipline that has a broad remit; and it is a vocational subject (not an academic pursuit) that aims to provide the societal means for safe, economic, and environmentally sustainable planning and development.
It will be of great value to professionals working in the areas of environmental and engineering geology, applied geomorphology and geotechnical engineering; a vital course book for postgraduates and reference for advanced undergraduates in these disciplines.
