Problematic soils have been, and continue to be, a major geohazard to the built environment, with billions of pounds spent the world over preventing and remediating damage suffered as a result of their behaviour. This volume brings together a collection of papers that highlight the behaviour and characteristics of problematic soils (particularly those found in the UK), and offers guidance on possible treatment techniques that could be applied for their successful engineering. The proceedings comprises three sections. The first section deals with naturally occurring problematic soils. The second section deals with man-made/altered problematic soils, an area that is becoming increasingly important. The final section deals with the engineering treatment of problematic soils.

A Short History Of Cardiology.(Clio Medica/The Wellcome Institute Series in the History of Medicine 40)

<p>The story told in this book begins in about 1700, when the first attempts were made to study the diseased heart in life (the subject matter of cardiology), as distinct from its appearance after death; it ends, rather arbitrarily, in 1970.<br>The account of the development of knowledge of heart disease is mainly chronological with emphasis on the fruitful consequences of the cross-fertilization of clinical practice with pathological anatomy at the beginning of the nineteenth century and with physiology at the end.<br>In addition, shorter chapters deal with such topics as specific disease entities, methods of investigation, cardiac surgery and the work of two individuals - Peter Latham, an example of a physician practising with today's clinical skills but a very imperfect knowledge of the pathogenesis of heart disease and Etienne Marey, an early exponent of the clinical physiology which would, in time, throw light on that pathogenesis.</p>
