This is a great book. It came recommended to me by my engineer supervisor. I am a geologist who needs to learn more about geotech and the engineering side of the industry.
Superior!

I just finished taking a intro Soil Mechanics class using this book. We completed all 16 chapters which is quite a feat for any engineering class. I thought the book was very good at laying out the conceptual aspects of soil mechanics and it was very easy to read through, espcially for an engineering book. The book has lots of illustrations and pictures (B & W). The books chapter layout was a little bass ackwards (Ch 11-14). The book has a fair amount of sample problems, at least one for every concept. However Engineering students regarding solved problems are like crack addicts on the streets, you can never have enough of what you desire. I would actually rate this book a 4.5/5.0......but I had to round up.
