Recenzii
"This is an extremely well-written book and is beautifully illustrated in colour throughout."
—J. S. Griffiths in Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology
"The book provides a succinct summary of key geological features that are likely to impact ground engineering projects. [It] utilizes a range of well-illustrated case studies to highlight and, importantly, summarize the importance of accurate geological description, understanding of the geological history and a summary of key engineering considerations for each of the sites considered."
—Professor John Coggan, University of Exeter, UK
"The book deals with the 'so what?' questions brilliantly."
—C K Lau, Fong On Geotechnics, Hong Kong
"The book is well illustrated and the author’s passion for the subject is clear...Whilst the book is primarily aimed at civil engineering students, it would also benefit students of engineering geology."
—Steve Parry in Bull Eng Geol Environ
"The author’s exceptional wealth of experience and ability to explain complex geologic principles in clear, concise language cannot be overstated."
—M. S. Field, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in CHOICE

Notă biografică
Chris J. N. Fletcher is a consulting geologist based in Wales. He graduated from St Andrew’s University in Scotland, and then moved to Canada to complete an MSc at Queen’s University and a PhD at the University of British Columbia. Most of his career has been with the British Geological Survey, both in the UK and overseas. He then became director of the Hong Kong Geological Survey and later managed his own geological consulting company. He was an Honorary Professor at universities in Hong Kong and China, where he presented graduate and professional development courses.
Descriere
Unifying the Universe: The Physics of Heaven and Earth provides a solid background in basic physics. With a humanistic perspective, it shows how science is significant for more than its technological consequences. The book includes clear and well-planned links to the arts and philosophies of relevant historical periods to bring science and the humanities together.
