Описание: Engineering Geology is the application of the science of geology to the understanding of geologic phenomena and the engineering solution of geologic hazards and other geologic problems for society. It has wide applications in various engineering fields especially in urban planning and expansion. Site investigation for major structures such as dams, factories, and heavy buildings is one of the main parts of engineering applications. Others include earth material characterization, exploration and assessment of construction materials and assessment of difficult grounds, expansive and collapsible soils. The obtained information can be presented in a form of engineering geological maps, which is essential in several projects. This book presents emphasis on the engineering aspects of soil and rock mechanics, geology and hydrogeology, although papers on theoretical and experimental advances in ground mechanics. It encompasses a broad spectrum of geo-engineering although several areas have been identified. In particular, this book demonstrates that: working standards originally developed nationally are becoming internationalised; risk assessment, rather than just assessment of hazards, is driving decision-making; geo-environmental change, whether climatically or anthropogenically driven, is becoming better understood; greater use of underground space is being made. Geological engineers carry out site investigations for dams, plants, roads, railways, housing projects, mines and quarries, pipelines, petroleum production, forestry operations and a variety of other things. They interact with civil engineers to design essential parts of projects. They are responsible for environmental assessments or clean-up activities where pollution has occurred. They prospect for minerals, building material resources and drinking water. They carry out hazard and risk assessments and mapping for landslides and earthquakes. Consequently, high-quality geological models are critical for ground engineering projects. Project engineers need to have a sound comprehension of the geological models presented to them, and to be able to discuss the models in so far as they might impinge on the design, safety and possible budgetary or time constraints of the project. Engineers must develop new solutions to cure the problems. Geological engineers have a crucial role because of their knowledge of how the earth reacts to various engineering processes. With increasing value of land, demand for innovative solutions such as the use of underground space will grow steadily. Highly talented engineers are needed to design and construct excavations and tunnels and to safely dispose of garbage, sewage, and toxic chemicals. Building and maintenance of roads, railways, airports, transmission lines and pipelines in the challenging terrain require an enormous amount of expert input from geological engineers.

Sometimes life comes back at you twice as hard and twice as fast as you live it. This is the lesson four young men with successful careers learn as they navigate through life in the South.
Lesane is a high school counselor who runs a small studio for local music talent. He once thought he could swear off love, but he learns the hard way he is sorely mistaken.
Scooter is an athletic coach whose little black book is as deep as a phone directory. He runs through women like he puts his students through practice drills.
Will is a basketball star in New Orleans. Everyone said he was too small, but no one could deny his skills. He and Janet - who proclaim themselves "just friends" - have a little boy. You can count on Will to be super dad during the off-season.
Ray is a DJ for a local radio station. Despite being surrounded by women, he finds it hard to stay connected. He's either trying too hard or just doesn't have game.
Join these four friends as they navigate life's ups and downs, wins and losses. Each encounter teaches them something about themselves, life, and love along the way.
We are pressing beyond the range of human information at blazing speed, and in so doing, we are entering a realm we're quite unprepared for. When this book's essayist announces a celestial being from a different dominion has arrived to equip us with permission to eat of the fruit, allowing us to become all-knowledgeable, and to offer immortality, everyone is eager, of course. "The extraterrestrial alien values the spirit nature as much as we value our flesh, and he prizes each, for he transcends knowledge of those entities," a character gushes. But we shall lose command of our individual freedoms if we forfeit our wits to another, because intelligence is more than gathering lots of data. Filtering information takes time and work to transform into wisdom. The race to control artificial intelligence has made each person a database for a search engine, and our species has mixed with machine. We've become unknowingly programmed without an ethical compass while some in charge have questionable motives and are involved in moral turpitude. The result? As one character laments, "We must break the very laws that make us civil."
