Sinopsis

Offers an eye-opening and revealing look into an interpersonal/scientific conflict involving the ?Father of Modern Soil Mechanics? Karl von Terzaghi. Exemplifies the ?human side? of science in which, sometimes, the prominence of a theorist and the inertia of the ?accepted wisdom? can inhibit progress and rational discussion of the facts. More than 100 illustrations combine with historical details in the text to evoke a vivid picture of the lost era of pre-WWII Vienna.
