R. H. G. Parry, previously Secretary General of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering (ISSMGE). He has worked in a government research organisation, as a manager of a geotechnical investigation form, as a university lecturer and researcher, and as a consultant.
'A comprehensive range of worked examples is included...The book
provides a clear description of the relevant techniques and the
strengths and limitations of these techniques...written in a lively
style, accompanied by a large number of illustrations...will be of
considerable assistance to geotechnical engineers in teaching,
research, and practice. It will remain a valuable reference for
some time to come.' - Applied Mechanics Reviews
' The first book devoted to this subject, this gives a unified
presentation of the theory and application of the techniques.' -
